I ran an 11.6 - JUST enough to get into the quick 16 (15).
They put RX-7s in Wild Street (2 power adders) with a 9 second Mustang and gobs of 10 second cars. Z06's were in the class below!
For my first and only run in the eliminations I drew the number 2 car, 10.22 Supra. It was ugly.
Car ran well most of the day but horrendus misfire in the elminination run, not that it would have mattered anyway.
And Ryan's (Rikki) new RX-8 tranny gave out. They must be a weak link in the car. I have heard other bitching about them.
Dave, don't give up the ship. My first night at the track I think I lost to a Honda! And this was a pro-tree, a bear for your first race. Get some et streets & life will get better.

I am hoping to pilot my car to times in that area next season!

Ryan's tranny was making noises before he ran and I think he said there is a recall on them.
He made a couple of runs, started home, and it locked up on him. Had to get the car towed home. Somebody said it's a Miata tranny in the RX8?

The 75-80 Web site says they are doing test and tune this Sunday and next.
AND MIR is open for test and tune on Saturday.
Depending on how abusive my wife becomes when I announce it, I am going to try to do both.
My 60' continues to be weak - 1.696. I'm not gonna get more power out of it than I did in this weather and I'm not gonna shift any better. Note that knocking the 60" down to 1.6 would take me to the 1.5s. Gotta work on the launch.
And then when I put in the bottle next season Naughtyfd...
