Addition to plans
For after the bbq the MRCCFL has arranged for us to visit Speed Source. For those who don't know, these are the guys that are going to be racing the RX8s in the Rolex 24hours of Daytona the week after the bbq. You find out more at www.speedsourceinc.com
They have graciously allowed us to visit and tour their facility. Its approx 8 miles from the park so after we will caravan up.
As i finalize more details i will update and keep you informed. See you out there.

More info....
On January 31 Speed Source Race Engineering will be running their new
RX-8s in the GT class in the Rollex 24 hours at Daytona. They are also
running 2) 5.0 liter Ford Daytona Prototype cars (the big boys). They
have factory support from Mazda through Mazdaspeed. They have
Previously campaigned 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen RX-7s and Porsche 911s.
On Saturday afternoon, January 24th (1 week before the Rollex) MRCCFL
members and guests (everyone is welcome) will be visiting the Speed
Source shop in Sunrise. We will caravan from the BBQ at Markham Park,
to Speed Source. The owner Sylain Tremblay has graciously offered to
show us around the shop. This will be a great part of the weekend.
Friday night we'll kick off with the Car Show at the Tower Shops on
University Drive. Saturday morning will be dyno runs at Cartek Tuning
(near the Tower Shops). Please contact Damian (dvls_7@yahoo.com) if you
are going to have your car dynoed. The BBQ will start at around
9:00-10:00am. We will leave the park at 2:30 or so when we will head to
Speed Source. After Speed Source we'll meet at a nearby Chilli's for
dinner and then off to a (legal) late night import hangout.

Click the Gold Coast BBQ RX-8 icon on the upper left.
Be sure to check it again often. I'll be adding more info as I receive
it.
Plan now to attend. Ft. Lauderdale is great this time of year. Let's
give the Speed Source Team a big rotary send off before Rollex.

I'll be there saturday. My K&N intake is on the way, and my rx7store resonated midpipe should be here before then too. Already have the borla cat-back. Haven't decided on the dyno yet though. What do you all think? Should I throw it on and see how I do with all these mods? :D

If ya havent done a baseline run stock, then your just gonna see what you have no. No clue about what changed. However, if all you wanna see is how much ya have now, then why not?
I was hoping for a stage1 before that to compare, but doesnt look likely, but even so I'll put it on just to see what the Greddy has done vs stock.

Park location and info.
Ok guys/gals,
Few days left. Here is the run down.
I have secured a pavillion. We are going to be at pavillion #1. When you enter the park, after you come past the guard shack take your first left. Follow that around till you see pavillion #1, nice and simple....
Beer and wine is allowed, but no alcohol.....
Burgers and dogs etc...will be provided, if you want to bring your own of whatever else thats fine, i'll throw it on the grill for you.
Bring your own drinks.
For those that want to dyno, shop will be open at about 9:30am. So you can go to the shop first if you like.
For saturday night.
When we arrive at Street Legal Imports there will be parking for us.

Just got a call from Jeff, who runs Street Legal Imports, and unfortunately we will not be going there saturday night. Something came up and he will not be opening up that night. So as of now plans for the night are open for suggestions. If/when i come up with alternate plans i will post. If not, i'll wait for us to be together so we can all decide on what to do. Sorry for late change. Everything else is on otherwise.

I dunno about the RE intake, but just to give you an idea the K&N sounds very............italian. And all of my friends around here seem to agree that calling it very ferrari-like is a good comparison.
And on the subject of the BBQ, is there anything that anyone would like me to bring to the bbq tomorrow?
