    Default It-7

    Hey Dinoheads! How many Dinos are coming to the first Dino outing in New Hampshire? How important is test day? It's a bit of a stretch for some of us to get there, but is it worth it?

    I thought a test day for an IT7 car consisted of turning the key to make sure the battery had charge.

    No, you have to check if there's fuel in the tank too. Do that and you're already in front of 1/3 of the field...

    Hell, add "working wipers and defroster" to the checklist and you're a podium finisher...Lord knows what kind if international success you'd have if you ensure the exhaust stays attached to the car...

    Friday of the first event is driver's school as well as a region run test day, most of us are too busy helping with the school to test but will be there starting Thursday night.

    Careful, there are more IT7 cars than ITA cars requesting NERRC Numbers this year.

    The only smoke we saw in August was from your tires in 9 sir. Muhahahahahahahahahahahaha

    Cant wait to see the IT7 fields this season. Talk about beating a dead horse.
    All posts are made by a fat old guy with a crappy old car that isnt supported by a factory anymore and therefore should not be taken seriously, EVER

    We buy our tires at WalMart 205/50-15 NT-01 $148.00 last all season and go faster as they wear out........

    I love me some RX7, that's for sure. It's great to see so many of them out and about!

    Hopefully the new car is more sorted this year.
