well, hard to hide it from wife when she is there... she grew up around drag racing, her dad has been drag racing since the 60's & her brother just took up drag racing. They race at Atlanta Dragstrip, and her brother actually does good, got 2nd place last year (1st full year)
Of course, i could just bring my buddy's car - '89 rx7 w/ 350 in it

 

it's a mazda!! bring it!!

 

I love hybrid builds like that....has anyone seen that vid w/the datsun 280 w/a big block chevy motor!!?

 

I wouldn't be able to afford the gas! He took it to the drag strip once. 135mph 1/4 mile - they banned him from the track.. no helmet/roll bars/etc.. said he didnt think it would go that fast - tried talking him into coming, but he has to work (owns his own shop, he's not there, its not open.)

 

ah, ok....135mph in the quarter = death! he's lucky!

aaaaannnnnndddd...back on topic!

 

sorry i will be there the entire weekend (and don't forget my game)

 

Matt...I call shotty for a ride down the quarter...I wanna get some film from INSIDE the car...k thnx....I don't weigh that much...ha ha.

 

I'll have to get everything tuned and running how I want it before I push it hard....I think the track will allow passengers...not sure.

 

Cool...so how is the car running now?

Ok...so I'll be up there on Saturday (hopefully the weather will co-operate!!)...but Sunday....Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday...just giving the heads up.

 

i'm not running it just yet....I'm expecting a new piece from Canada tomorrow that will allow me to get the final belt alignment on. It'll be finished just in time for the meet...

 

Can't wait...just got my Mazdaspeed OEM Floormats($$ !!) and some of the Matrix Type X seatcovers....interior is looking pretty decent now...I'll be there sat morning

 

good deal. I believe the campgrounds are open at like 8am saturday morning.

 

Looks like the weather is going to be nice in Alabama this weekend, that's a plus...

 

Wassup yall! Ha ha ha ha I am the first to make a post after the meet I had a great time and I enjoyed meeting all of you guys. The weather was nice and I did not know so many of you owned Mazdaspeed Proteges. But anyways the turnout was good and I cant wait till next time.

 

we need to do it again soon, but not at that park, Matty got shafted for sure.
