They ruined their RX7 and made it like every other RX7 I ever see - Chevy V8. Now they can't run it at their own event. It was sitting there in the grass with no hood on it; looks like a work in progress.

The RX7 is undergoing a complete transformation that might be completed by the end of this year and the Evo just wasn't ready. We've found when you're dealing with cars at this level it's best to run them when they're ready, not try and rush them to make an event. While is was tough not racing this past weekend Mark and his MAP sponsored Talon running 9.40 made it worthwhile :) Can't wait to see what both Mark and John can achieve by the end of the year!

Sucks to hear but at least you got to get some testing in.

Come out to Rock Falls on the 15th!

Rock Falls does not have the braking distance required for John's Galant, unless he had a chute on it.

You may be surprised. I had good luck stopping at Rockfalls, 152+MPH, felt just like BIR. I have nothing special for brakes, yet.

Still not done with the rx7? What the hell are you doing to it? Lsx compound turbo set up with spray? That evo going to make it to the track this year?

There was one flat blue RX-7. Thing looked pretty clean and the owner was a cool guy. Nice car!

Trying to balance working on race cars with working on customer cars (which come first) ;) We don't make money racing...

Thanks for putting up the event. I'm one of the lucky ones who got paid racing. Thanks for the $$ also. My first time out that I actually stayed the whole weekend. I will for sure camp and do it again next year. Boring same car but it's the one that keeps running. Our little group managed to collect almost $1500 total. I keep finding more and more who won trophy and money.

DB got my car back to me already! DBPerformance ftmfw. I couldn't believe they(or anyone) could turn it around that fast.
