I'll be there spectating and helping out.

 

rest is much needed Shawn! goodnight

 

My friend Chuck is on his way to Lime Rock as I type this with his white 87 FC in tow.This is his first track day in a car,and he hopes to get the O.K. to run on saturday.If so I will probably go out there to watch him,or maybe even if he isn't running I may go out to spectate.I will most likely bring my 79 GS,and hopefully next year I will participate in some events.It has been probably 5-6 years since I ran with COM,and I do miss it.It is probably a 3.5-4 hr ride for me out there,but if it is a nice day I will look forward to taking the GS out for the last drive of the season.

 

ill be at Lime Rock saturday. ill be in a white Subaru Legacy on gun metal rims. if you have an RX-7 there, you dont even have to look for me. i will find you (that sounds a bit creepy, eh?)

 

correction: ill be in my Mom's winning blue RX-8. its the last weekend we'll have with it, so i decided i'd enjoi it. (my mom's already enjoied it enough)

 

Must have missed you guys @ LRP on Saturday. Pete, it was good seeing you and and the Fam!

See y'all next year.
Jeff

 

Jeff, are you going to the COM banquet?

 

I saw Paddy's new pimp-mobile. looks nice!

 

He was haulin in that STi at LRP. 1:02:6 with just RA1's and race pads. The STi is moving down a class for next year. Hes going to clean up in that class. The Z06's are a bit much to compete against. Two of them were in the 59's. Only Greg Read in his Turner prepped and supercharged E36 M3 was faster than those Z06's that day.

 

We'll see... It may be too dangerous for me, depends on how many people I tick-off with my suggested car reclassifications for '07! ;-)

 

I've been lurking over there on the COM forums. You're really making a stink. Its tough to make a level playing feild. The FD moved down to SSGT with the STi and Evo. You can't have a different class for every car.

 

so tonight i was driving home on 290 from an excellent thanksgiving dinner when my passenger side head light cover decided to fly off on me. if anyone has one let me know, cause i need it. luckily the car will be going into hibernation soon.

 

i don't have one, nor drive an FD. but what were you doing driving this car in this crappy Mass weather we're having?

TR

 

I am driving my car because it was built to be driven and love to drive my car. it's not going away until the first snow. well maybe a couple days prior. but still, the fact remains, i love driving my fd!!

BTW, i saw your sig, what happened to the car?

 

hey guys keep must posted on future meets

 

oh, we will. there will probably be a winter meet at some point.

 

sounds like the perfect reason to own a RX-7 (to drive it.) (i wish i could drive mine right now, but shes been put down for the season since august )

set up a meet, and ill be there in the subaru. id say sooner then later.

 

As far as I see it, it's the responsibility of the club members to pipe-up when they see inequities.

And therefore...what? We shouldn't try?

Not sure what your point is?

 

True, it is our responsibility to speak up if there are inequities, but as far as I see it, they've fixed one of the only ones I have seen. Big Mike in his 350Z cleaned up SSGT last year winning the class and over all drivers championship. There wasn't anything in his class that could touch him. Guys driving STi's (Raj, Suresh, Joe and Ryan) all moved to STGT just so they didn't have to compete against stock C5 Z06's. Now they've moved the STi (along with the FD and Evo) down to SSGT. We can only wait and see, but there should be a close battle in that class. That leaves the Z06's to battle it out with the real big boys (Vipers, Ferraris, 911TT's etc) and its clear that they don't have any trouble hanging with them.

My point with having a different class for every car is this; you can order a 911(996&997) in many flavors, from Carrera, CarreraS, Carrera4S, Turbo, GT2 to GT3. You can't have a class for every one of them. Same goes for the C5, C5Z06, C6 & C6Z06. You need to put a few of them in the same class or else you're creating classes and you'll have people winning classes by defalt due to lack of competition. You also can't put a stock road going car into SP or P. You can put the SSU monsters into STGT, but I don't see any with the new classifications.

 

I simply disagree. To simplify the discussion, just address this point I have made several times... a WRX modified to STi specs would be in SPB while the "stock" STi would be in SSGT. How do you reconcile that fact?

 

Please see my post on the COM forum. A bugeye 2.5rs modded to WRX spec would also be SPB. Then you'd have a stock WRX and a stock STi duking it out in SPB with roll cages, fire suits, and RE92 all seasons just because the base model is slow.

 

Hey Pete I just noticed the post on COM. Let's discuss it in that forum...makes more sense.

 

^^ you guys are funny.

 

"You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little f**ckd up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown..."

 

count me in 2 if i get my RX7 88 GTU fix only need 2 fix the fuel line and exhaust system and place and time and i will be there so hit me up guys
