Time to test out your mad drving skills.

Autocross event #5 is on Sunday July 2; registration at 7:30 - 8:30 or 11:30-12:30 depending on your class.



Practice Day is July 4 starting at 8:00 am.



Check out www.bscc.net for more info and to preregister and save $5.00 on entry.



Once again, you all should come out for one of these. Practice day should be a lot of fun and pretty low key.

Also, as Jeb mentioned, if you do two events you will be able to sign up with Mazdaspeed Motorsports.



We will be dual driving the 7 on the 2nd and bringing out the Turbo Hearse i.e, the Volvo 850 wagon (yes it's a station wagon and yes, we will be racing it) for it's first time on the 4th. So bring what you got and see you there.

Yes, the turbo brick, hearse, etc. Brakes are fixed, but probably won't need them too much. See http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=555493 for the challenge put forward.

[attachment=38733:attachment][attachment=38734:attachment]Yes, I did the brakes this weekend, It now has powerslot rotors, ss lines, and autocross brake pads, Axis ultimate ceramnic. I also threw some sport springs in there to lower it down some. The boost may or may not be at stock levels. Ha Ha Ha.

Yes I can boost to infinity. My just topped off my boost fluid last night , LOL.



Supposedly the Volvos are supposed to have a fuel cut at anything over stock boost 9.5 psi or so. I have not found it yet, and I sure I am boosting over 10 psi. So I dont know, whats going on. Also my car is from Jan 95 and it has an obd 2 port, which it shouldn't have until 96 according to everything I have read. I should put on a boost gauge next. now Iam curious.
