I ran an 11.6 - JUST enough to get into the quick 16 (15).



They put RX-7s in Wild Street (2 power adders) with a 9 second Mustang and gobs of 10 second cars. Z06's were in the class below!



For my first and only run in the eliminations I drew the number 2 car, 10.22 Supra. It was ugly.



Car ran well most of the day but horrendus misfire in the elminination run, not that it would have mattered anyway.



And Ryan's (Rikki) new RX-8 tranny gave out. They must be a weak link in the car. I have heard other bitching about them.



Dave, don't give up the ship. My first night at the track I think I lost to a Honda! And this was a pro-tree, a bear for your first race. Get some et streets & life will get better.

Tom, thanks.

Next season you guys will be seeing me come out.

I gotta get better, I need to go and run ALOT.



Holy birdpoop.

Ryan that sucks about your tranny.

Ryan's tranny was making noises before he ran and I think he said there is a recall on them.



He made a couple of runs, started home, and it locked up on him. Had to get the car towed home. Somebody said it's a Miata tranny in the RX8?

If not exactly the same I think they are very similar.

Yeah, we cant let him run away.



did I tell you i think there is a test+tune still open on sunday mornings? I thought it was limited to class racing now, but it looked like there were alot of street cars in lane one last sunday morning.

tcb100 11-10-2003 01:08 PM

The 75-80 Web site says they are doing test and tune this Sunday and next.



AND MIR is open for test and tune on Saturday.



Depending on how abusive my wife becomes when I announce it, I am going to try to do both.



My 60' continues to be weak - 1.696. I'm not gonna get more power out of it than I did in this weather and I'm not gonna shift any better. Note that knocking the 60" down to 1.6 would take me to the 1.5s. Gotta work on the launch.



And then when I put in the bottle next season Naughtyfd...

Fd3BOOST 11-10-2003 01:14 PM

You going to try this Sturday at MIR Tom?

I gotta work but I could play sick https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
