We had what was called RX-7/RX-8 focus day at Motorsports Ranch in Cresson, Texas last weekend. Had a really good time. About 25 or so showed up from the Fort Worth/Dallas Texas area to run on the 1.7 mile 11 turn road course. There were some great cars there so I thought I would share a few pics.

The FB's were well represented with 4 cars. It was funny that all of these were completely gutted and made for racing. There were only 2 FC's there, mine being one of them and the TII in the next picture. The FD's were the least modified of all the cars. Most were stock with the exception of exhaust changes.

The only other FC besides mine was this TII. I did not run due to suspension problems.

This was the most modified of all the FD's there. This is an engine pic obviously.
