I am racing the ARRC enduro (November 3) and have a logbook question. (Unless my car ends up selling before hand) I always arrive Thursday to be at the test day and register then for the weekend. My last annual was done on 11-1-2012. My question is, if I register for the weekend before...

What do you IT7 guys and girls run for tire pressures with RA1s? I'm doing a track day next weekend and wanted to try a few different things for kicks.

Random question, does anyone remember the typical entry fee for the Rational in May at Road Atlanta? Trying to budget some and can't find last year's supps or anything. :p

I've heard a few drivers mention that the March ECR may be cancelled since it's a Majors weekend, is this a possibility? Just curious.

Hello everyone, happy 2013. My RX-7 has a Kirkey seat in it that was in it when purchased. I've used a few other Kirkeys before in track cars and really like them, but this one does not have as much "rib" support as the others did. Upon further inspection, I'm worried that the seat is a drag...

Does the Atlanta Region keep records of sound control sheets for any reason? I was hoping to go see what my car read but completely forgot at the ARRC. I know it's a long shot and I don't see why they would, but just seeing if those records hang around. :p

My IT7 car feels slow, obviously it's not suppose to be a rocket but I feel as though I'm down on some HP. It's all stock minus a header/exhaust, some fancy looking plug wires, and that's about it! At Road Atlanta it will hit 103-105ish down the back straight before the braking zone into 10...

Just seeing what you 1st gen RX-7 drivers use for transmission and differential fluid, I'm looking for something I can get locally from a general parts store. :023:

I'm getting my IT7 car ready to race and reading through the GCR again to double check things and see if anything major changed since last year. My car has a logbook, but hasn't had an annual done since 2007. I just want to double check this mentioning: 9.3.13. CARBURETOR FUEL INLET FITTING...

Has anyone that runs the 1st gens ran across brake pads with the part number CNA983FF stamped on them and "made in Canada?" I have a couple sets of these from when I bought my car and cannot find what they are for the life of me. I've searched everywhere. I figured I'd ask here. :023:

I'm looking to dump the factory oil cooler and get something that cools a little better, races in the SE can be quite hot. What cooler setup is popular? Does anyone run a 2nd gen oil cooler on their race car and if so does it work well in race conditions? Or is there something better?

Finally got a new car, well new to me that is. I know I know IT7 is dead, but I got a great deal on it, it's a solid car, many spares, and I love 1st gens and have always been a rotary fan boy so I really wanted it. I think it will be a great car for me to run for a while. It's an ex Spec7 car...

I am considering buying a caged 1st gen shell with a logbook to either put back to IT7 or ITA. I have some concerns though, primarily how much work and money I'll really be spending to do this. I put together a list of what I think I need, I still need to go see the car and he said he will...

Last season I teamed up with the Leukemia Research Foundation to use my motorsport activities as a way to raise donations and awareness leading to ending blood related cancers and supporting those suffering from it. The 2012 Mitty will mark our first fundraising event this year, sadly I won't...

I know it's a long shot and I may not have a H&N by then but is anyone running the ECR and looking for a co-driver? I have some funding. LOTS of seat time at Road Atlanta, but only one actual race under my belt (well partly, ran the ARRC ECR, DNF due to mechanical issues) and an SCCA test day...
