Today was practice day. We got 10 runs in with about 60 cars in attendance.



I took out my Mini to get some practice with a FWD car and some Falken Azena's.

I am trying to get into a Mazda-Rev-It-Up mode.



I am taking my TII out tomarrow and blazing with the slicks. I basically try for FTD since there is never anyone in my class. After todays practice I saw 3 cars that will be a handful to beat. One is a Z-06 in SS driven by a multi-time national champ.



The other 2 cars are very interesting one is a 260Z with a 5.0 swap. The other is an F-body Camaro which is basically a Track car with 12" wide slicks and gobs of horsepower.



Some pics from today - I'll take more tomarrow.



This is the Camaro

260Z engine bay - notice the entire front end is tube frame. Car was resuraected from a head on collision - also notice the aluminum front mounting plate.

I thought this was a cool pic - 3 generations of RX-7's I could never locate the owner of the FD - He was there to watch the FB driver that just got this track car and was looking for a little practice.

This is PJ's TII conversion - pretty neat job for a guy on a tight budget.

This is the Man! This is JR checking out PJ's car. Too many initials!! He is the guy that fabbed all the parts for my FD swap. I hope to get by his shop soon and take some pics of a FD GT3 car he has been building from scratch. Very talented fabicator I am lucky to have found him.

That's some nice duckting work on the TII conversion, or is that just a cover.

NICE PICS!!



The 240Z has nothing in that front end, cant say its front heavy anymore now can you!!!



But a rotary would still be better! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

What's with the roof scoup on that blue FC? I don't think I like that.
