Kenny what car are you swapping the REW engine into? I thinking about doing the same once I buy a single turbo set-up.
(translation).... can't afford it right now.

Met another RX7 nut today, Jeff. He has a vert and rebuilt the engine himself. But he's lookin' for an FD. Nice guy and luckily I had one of Cal's handy dandy cards to give him. He's going to try to make the next meet.

Turn 2 is really hard to get right, the 3-4-5-6 complex is very tough, and I don't think I have done the 12-13-14-15 complex 3 times correctly in all of the laps I have run there. It is the most challenging track I have ever run.

I am pretty sure we will use T18. Dave said that he will decide when we are there. I am ok with not using it. I am not overly comfortable with running right next to the wall. Hard to imagine I used to run Charlotte, Rockingham, and Pocono regularly where some of the apexes and exits were right up against a wall.. Hell, back in the old days at Pungo the apex of one of the turns was the corner of a building.... I must be getting old.....

Autocross was great today. My new STREET tires are street tires, not R compound tires. That was hard for me to do. I guess I did not realize how spoiled I had become lately. It took me a couple of runs to "get it" but I did put out some decent runs finally. I think I won the class, but I am not sure how much competition I had.
BTW I just won the pot in the NASCAR race pool today. I had Kasey Khane and Reed Sorensor was leading wiht 2 laps to go, but ran out of gas..... Wonder how much it was. I think $5 x 43.. what does that work out to... I have had too many beers to figger it out!!!! But it is a nice bonus today... I won the autocross, won the racing pool... I did buy a lottery ticket for last night's win for life... I better check to see if it won.....

I think it is on this site, too, but I didn't feel like digging for the URL.
