I was wondering if anyone is going to the Solo2 event in Loudon,NH tomorrow. I am going, but just as a spectator ( FC is broken ) I was just courious if there were gonna be any FB's FC's or even FD dudes going. I would love to see some rotories own on the track. Its a time attack course I believe. I don't have any information on it though. I know its only $50- $60 bucks to enter.

Anyways, let me know.

I just learned that its an AutoX/Road Race course. You'll need a helmet snell 90 or newer. Oh they have loaner helmets if you don't have one. For more information I found this....

Not to hi-jack the thread, but is anyone going to Fort Devens on April 29th? ill be there with my subaru. i wont be racing unfortunatly.

 

do they post if they are canceling the event online somewhere? if i have time i wouldnt mind comming up to watch, my car isnt autox ready yet

 

They hardly ever cancel an event. They race in the rain and will only take a time out if there is a passing thunderstorm.

 

Yeah it will be raining tomorrow , and the event will be still going on all day. It should be pretty cool to watch. I dont mind staying in the rain for a bit either. Heck I'll even in it I dont care...haha

 

Wow, that was awsome. There wern't any FB's FC's or FD's in the autocross event. 2 RX8's were owning the course haha. there were 6 or 7 N/A tuned FC's on the road race course rippin' it up. I saw a sick FD also. He drifted a corner pretty dang good too. I wonder if the FD driver post on this forum? I'm thinking about building an FC or FB up for AutoX. This is what a really want to do. In the future. Have an FB for AutoX, an FC for drift, and a FD for road race/grip driving. That would be sick. There is another SCCA event going on this saterday at Fort Devons Air Base in Mass. Starts at 7:30 am - 4:30/5:00pm. It should be a better course too.Well , anyways I gotta get some sleep now....

At the auto-x, 2 of the RX8s (I was one of them.. the green one with orange numbers) were running on our V710s in the wet.... and one RX8 on Street tires... so it was pretty bad. The AWD/Street Tire guys were kicking everyones collective asses. Not to mention it was pretty cold too. The local FD auto-x driver ran an ST car.... (He posts here so I'm just gonna call him a wimp now.) (Although, that ST car with him driving it *was* faster than the RX8s)

I thought about going back to street tires but it started raining heavier and said screw it... I'll just change them later.

Are you going to come to Devens on the 29th? Don't come to watch, come to play.

We'll be there on the 29th. Got to get some numbers ASAP.

 

change of plans, ill be there with the RX-7. Look for 2 Brilliant Black FD's (me and Willub and Company)

 

Slo, PM Imp for numbers, or check out his site, www.rallydecals.com He'll probably just bring a set to the event so you don't have to get them shipped.

Both of you have black cars? Jesus, thats way too many BB FD's in the Worcester area! My car still isn't running. It would be cool for all three of us to show up together. The good news is that the new motor is already in the car. I've done two days worth of work to the car and waited over two months for parts.

 

i was a little sad when i saw all the BB RX-7's coming out of the worcester area, but thats okay, its a sexy color. yea i saw the swap on NASIOC. very very insane project. i cant wait to see it on the track. are you still going saturday?

 

i should be alseep resting for an early day tommorow, but hey. what the hell. see everyone there!--Christian.

 

No, I won't be able to make this one. I'd be there if the RX-7 was ready. Black is the best color and the RX-7 is my third black/black car. Its a pain to keep clean but it looks oh so good after a fresh wash or wax.

I figured I'd go insane if I didn't go all out and set up the car like that. I've got a track day at Mosport in Canada on June 12th. I figured this is the most reliable way to set the car up. Its going to need a shake down well before the trip so I will be bringing it to an autocross before then.

Christian, if you read this in the morning. please call me, i am really not a morning person, and i dont want to sleep in.

Pete, i must say, ive never been a huge fan of the LS1 swap (i can explain later) but youre car is just insane. i would love to come by and see it sometime (shameless invite). i'd also love to pick you, your dad, and your brothers brains for ideas with my rally car. sorry you cant make it, but i hope to see everyone there. again look for me, ill be there in a Brilliant Black RX-7. Should be a great time, and due to my LSD and suspension i wont be racing. Now that i've got her boosting properly, i really dont want to break anything, yet anyway.
