Default Rx-7 goes down in a hurry...

half-asleep driving the gf home the other night on I-10E this old rx-7 paces me for 3 miles "showing off" his loud BOV and flame spitting exhaust. I finally get sick of it and drop it into 3rd, cutout blaring in his face, he downshifts and I hear his turbo start spooling so I hammer it, he gets a little bit of a jump, but I pass him quickly and pull 5 cars to 110, i get on the brakes hard and he pulls up next to me and starts the same "showing off" crap again . I just got off the freeway shaking my head and laughing.

</pointless race story>

I might be interested in that proposition. I've got a ZO6 h/c all motor stock cubed that I run at the track. I frequent Famoso and occasionally LACR. Are you interested? BTW nice job on the LS1 install, it looks great.

Sounds like a fun race.. I don't usually race up there. Usually at Sacramento or one of the 1/8th mile setups in San Diego.

I'm going on the anti-tour in my RX7 which starts up north and ends up in San Diego for the Racelegal 1/8th mile drags.. you should hop on the caravan and come down here to race.

You go all the way to Sac Rac but haven't raced at Famoso? I've gone to Sac and did run my best there, but Famoso (in my backyard, almost) is so much closer for you. If you make it there on the Apr.1 T&T we can have a go. At this point in time, I'm not too interested in 1/8th mile racing. LACR on MAR.25 is having a street race night that I plan on attending. You should go. You might surprise some people.

Heads are AFR 205s and a CompCam that is a little bit smaller than the g5x3. I have all the other usual bolt-ons. Do you ever get your car to a 1/4mi. track and if so which one? Maybe we can meet for a race.

no,i went the quarter but kept breaking the rear, so only 1/8 mi, the best pass at irwindale was 7.20, the car runs 10.80 @ 128 on the motor now at cali speedway DA 2500, and 10.2 138 on 100 shot same DA, i only got one pass on the bottle, then they kicked me off for not having a 8 point certified cage.

Just giving you some ****.. don't get all hurt. Every post by you is so self-aggrandizing it gets kinda silly. I'm not scared of running you in the 1/8th if you want.
