MN MN - Mazda Events

Let's start a new thread and post some get togethers on this thread.

I'm for meeting at Porky's on a Saturday. They can hold about 20 cars.

If the fellow with the $1300 shows up he can buy all of us some food. LOL.

Thanx,

Ken

Jered stopped by today and sold me a couple of thinwallsockets. He will be in town till October.
We are planing on going to MAP but not this weekend as he is going elsewhere and he will dyno tune his car and I'll just dyno my car.

If any of you are interested in getting together at MAP then let me know.

I'm also willing to met all you guys at Porky's some time.

Hopefully the guy with the $1300 will show up and buy us some food.

Winter is coming and lets make the best of the nice warm climate.

They must have a big group to be able to meet every wednesday. If we were to re-establish the mn rx7 club I was thinking we should maybe hold meets once every month, or maybe once every two months. Depending on our group size, if there are enough of us, it would make more sense to increase the meets per month/s, but otherwise it wouldn't make much sense. Of course special occasions such as dyno runs, group rides, ect... shouldn't fall into this category.

I agree with LUV that we need to hold a meet soon. We should probably give it at least a week from now to get everyone noticed and up to date, the meet on wednesday night sounds nice, I unfortunately won't be available on wednesday as I have late night labs at the university that day. The Saturday meet I think will work out better with everyone since it's a weekend and alot of people can spare a weekend off for a meet?

I will be available almost every weekend, everyone should post up what works out for them so we can arrange a meet that works out with everyone and possibly get the club reorganized.....

Oh yeah, and someone needs to tell me where this porky's place is : )

Are you nuts.

There is nobody that will not like your cars at Porky's.. When I go there I have about the nicest car there. I always have young guys liking my car and taking pics.

You and your buddy's should stop by.

I'm planning on having Kan back to MN and tuning Jered's 20B beast in the next two moths.

If any other Mazda guys want their cars tuned then let me know.

I'll post a pic of my brother's drag car. It's a Viper blue "69 Dart. The pic will show him doing a wheel stand racing his son' "87 RX-7 with SBC and NOS. Jeff beat him in that race becaues of the wheel stand. Jeff also beat Jered's 20B in a street race.

Where the HELL are all you rotory guys when it comes to beating my relatives pistons cars?

As much as I hate to say it, my brother's car will beat our rotory's.

He's going to a Pink's drag event in IA on Sept 4-5th,

You can go down there and watch 400 drag cars.

That was 3 years ago Ken. Jeff's car is a monster out of the hole. He let off before I even hit 3rd gear and was realing him in. It was just for fun, radials vs. et streets. That was back in the stock tranny and 14psi days. He will still kill me out of the hole.

I was going to head down to the Midway tonight. I got home from up north later than expected.

hey ken we should all do a gather at my work. I now work at a performance shop that just opened. Specializing in rx7's. Yes I said it we work on rx7's. The shop opened in aug 1st. Its located in Burnsville. We are doing group hang outs every wednesdays after 6pm. BBQ and can chat about cars. Gather all the rx7 guys and come out. It will be fun and everyone can get to know eachother and tour the shop. here are some fliers of the shop and cars. Tomorrow is Wednesday so we will be hanging out at the shop and having a rx7 meet hang out. every one is welcome even if you dont have ur rx7 running or if you dont have a rx7. We are giving out great deals on dynoing cars also. Come and have a great time before winter comes. Any one that has any questions and need directions give me a call at 651-323-8186 Bruce Lee

Ya I've been there twice bringing Kan there to fix and tune a guy's car from IA.

35W was closed coming back to the cities and that was not a fun deal.

Let me know if 35W is open now both ways.

Can't come tonight, maybe next week.
