I have a standard,stock 1st gen, blue RX7 air cleaner(in good condition_ and what looks to be a really clean(as close to new) 1st gen oil pan(might be a racing pan,have to look)

Jake..talk about help and a fountain of knowledge on so many subjects!! Thanks to you and all you guys out there for your help. I was looking at an HP spitfire but no longer .....LOL.:happy204:
Wise of you to come forward and try to make amends. "Usually" goes a long way towards making up for an incident.
Gotcha,Dick.......I missed that part...LOL
Have you checked with the corner workers. Last summer at LRP I got wacked after going under the bridge and the workers at station 11 had recorded the incident. Perhaps their chief may have a record...

Shlow today, fast tommorow, AJ....LOL:dead_horse:
Thaks Jeff. You both confirmed my fears on HP!
Sounds like a guestion for Ray Lee, Dick, Andy or Jake
No question there, Jake. I agree completely, no comparison speedwise. I was curious because you see some HP car engine rebuids using Carillo rods and Mahle pistons which gets pretty pricey.
Thanks for your help folks.....I guess the question is with similar time racing to a spec pinata is engine life in these prod cars a lot shorter or similar?
Just looking at classes where I don't have to race with the fast ones like you, my friend!! Seriously, I was curious as to engine life in some of the older tech cars of the HP ilk.
Anyone have any experience with the above....ie spitfire,sprite,midget? Pretty expensive rods,pistons etc going in each time. Assume appr 3 races per season. Thanks for any info!!

Meant to put this in a separate thread.
In fairness to Ian and SCDA, I heard a driver mention that usually NASA is over $300 at LRP. Must have got a lower rate from Skippy being so early in the...
Andy...lower than SCDA for this one....$270....good sized crowd. More pit crew for a track day than an SCCA Regional.....LOL. Lots of M3's, vettes, one ITA racer in a spec pinata, gt500 stangs,...
