I'll be there racing my 2nd gen RX7 in EP. # 47 multicolored. I'll be in the Mazda carport on the left as you come out of the tunnel. Hopefully arriving this Saturday. I'm waiting for the truck shop to finish swapping the replacement motor in my toterhome. If the toter isn't finished, I'll have to tow with my F250 and sleep in the trailer. Not my first choice!! Any GRMers stop and say hello.
I am trying to go on Saturday. I will look the booth up and RX7 guy up.

Good luck. I won't be there so hopefully you will do better than at Pocono.
Andy Reid and I will be manning the GRM booth, running around, and talking to our peoples. If you are at Road America (and you should be) make sure to stop by. At the event a one-year subscription is just $20 and it includes a free t-shirt.
Heck, even if you already subscribe, throw us $20, we will add a year to your subscription and you still get a free T-shirt. Of course deeper discounts happen when you go with 2 or 3 or 10 year subs!
We will be at the track from Thursday-- Sunday.

Would that include CM too? I let that subscription lapse...............free clothes are always good. I am somewhere in the middle of my 10 year sub...
Yep! The deal goes for GRM or CMS. If you are really smart you will subscribe to both for just $36 for a year of each.
Hey.....I'm just trying to save you guys money and put some fancy threads on your back!

Rusted,
Sunday went better at Pocono. In the rain I was running 2nd, but spun and wound up finishing 4th. Definitely better than a dnf due to a defective tire.
I was hoping to go for my birthday, but it fell through. 
My friend Rob Warkocki will be running his #78 GT3 Rx-7. He won the GT3 championship last year. I'll definitely will be rooting for him from a far distance. 

hey don, can you post a pic of your car to keep an eye out for. i will mostdef stop by and say hello. need to right down where you be on sat to say hello when we show up. and i will be stoping to say hello and take a pic of the grm booth to share like i did last year...much better pics this year since i learned what i did worng last year with the telephoto lense i had.

Change of plans; the shop putting the motor in my toterhome took the rig for a test drive and the motor blew up. Not enough time or money for alternate plans. Looks like I'll be following things on my computer. But, look out next year!!
how in the world do they blow up the motor? and are they paying for it at least since they blew it up?

It was a used motor and I'm on the hook for it since I provided it. I'm not sure how it happened. It's a diesel and they said it just ran away and wouldn't shut off, then blew. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I'll be putting in a remanufactured motor, so I should be good to go for next season. Just no time or money to make it happen in time to get to RA.
