Having owned two rx7s I think I have a little info that may be 
ofsome help to you.

First, the 93 model is only the third version of the rx7.  Earlier versions 
ran from 1978(or 79)-1985 and 1986-1992.

I have owned an 80 and currently own an 85.

The rotary engine is incredibly durable and an absolute delight to wind 
out.  I've heard that they will typically last between 125 and 160 thousand 
miles before a rebuild. I've never had a problem with either of mine.  i 
bought my current car used with about 70 thousand miles on it and run it to 
the redline every sunny day.

Pre 1981 cars have funny polution control systems and should be avoided.  
Parts, in general, are expensive and finding a good rotary mechanic is all 
but impossible.  

Of the pre 86 cars there are several important changes through the years.  
Around 83 or 84 they changed the dash and made the interior of the car much 
more appealing.  The engines are all essientially the same until you get to 
the gsl-se model of 85 (i own it).  

if you have the money, this is the model i would definately recommend.  It 
has beutiful fifteen inch wheels (other model had ugly alloys) and an engine 
that has 35% more power and slightly better fuel mileage than previous non 
gsl-se models.


In general the cars are beutiful, cheap and very sporty.

Oh yeah, be prepared for terrible fuel mileage... especially if you drive 
your car sideways all the time, like I do.  Speaking of sideways, if you 
live anywhere where it snows you'll have to buy some snow tires and put some 
bricks in the trunk 'cause you can't go anywhere when the road is slippery 
otherwise.

Im not sure what else to say.

drivers have done well internationally.

1963 - Richie Ginter finished 2nd in the WC in his best season of the WC
       Jim Hall had his been season of the WC.

1973 - Peter Revson won 2 WC races and had his best season in the WC (5th).
       George Follmer scored a point in his first WC race in his only season.

1983 - Eddie Cheever had his best season (based on points) in the WC (6th).
       Danny Sullivan scored points and his best season.
       Davy Jones finished 3rd in the British F3 championship, behind

April:

Alfa Romeo withdraws from the GTCC, leaving Mercedes-Benz
as the sole participant.  Merc says it will continue to
contest the series, as it is confident its car has winning
potential.


May:

A string of victories in the GTCC has led to considerable weight
penalties for Mercedes.  The average 190 now weighs four tons.
Michael Kahlfuss takes advantage of the power-to-weight ratio
situation and enters his Trabant for the rest of the series.


October:

The final and deciding British Touring Car Championship round
takes place on a figure of eight course.

In an attempt to make the Australian Touring Car Championship
more equable, CAMS announces revised series regulations:  any
car whose name doesn't begin with 'H' or 'F' and which don't

on three-inch diameter wheels (maximum of three) and must be

Last week I received a press kit, along with the
December issue, of the above subject magazine.
Courtney Caldwell is the publisher and has
apparently been presenting the magazine primarily
as a publication serving women and motorcycles
over the past few years.  She is now planning on
expanding into the 4-wheel scene, plus placing the
magazine on newsstands in February.

Lyn St. James is the cover story.  Other 4-wheel
features include Debbie Hackworth, who drives a
'puller' truck and Mary Hesalroad, the only female
motorcycle police officer in Austin, Texas.  There's
also an article relating to women and trucks and a
Jeep Cherokee test.  The remainder of the magazine
deals (nicely) with motorcycles, with the majority
of the advertising being a two-wheeled nature.  The
layout is pretty well done, with a nice mix of color
and b&w photos.

I am planning some follow-up questions with the
publisher, but she is unavailable this week.

On a related note, the neatest Christmas card I
received was from ACRL racer Margie Smith-Haas
from Team San Diego.  She put together a nice
rendering of her S2000 racer, being driven by
S. Claus of course.

In the past, CART has been known to suddenly change the rules if it looks like

Having just seen a photo of the ``new'' Ferrari I'm reminded of the last
season they switched from basically all-red to a livery in which a lot of the 
car was white -- 1975 was a good year for them!

All we need now is the mechanics to wear brown overalls and the cars to bear

I was kind of supprised to hear these rumors and kind of think that
they are unfounded. I have a close friend that is a engine calibrator
for Roush, and he told me that Martin was staying. But back around
September the story was different. He told me back then that Jack
wanted to get rid of Mark.

Anyway while were on the subject of Jack Roush, I was up in Detroit a
couple of weeks ago visiting my friend, and we walked into this little
hole in the wall bar ( its a Roush hangout) and Jack was there.
Anyways I was introduced to him and sat down and had a beer with him.
My impression of him was that he is a little strange and very intense
about his racing. The key word is "his". Make no bones about it, he
sets up the cars. 

Getting back to the sponsership thing, I think if Valvaline pulled
there sponsership, someone would be sitting right behind to fill the
seat. Jack does to much work for Ford to be sitting without a deal. 

Oh yeah, almost forgot...Got a chance to see the new "Cobra" engine on
the dyno. I guess that its going into the 93 and new 94 mustang.

Top-row tickets available for the August 8, 1993 IndyCar race at NHIS.

Last year I bought 8 top-row (Row 50) seats for this race.  Several of my
friends cannot make it this year, so some of the tickets are available. 

They're great seats.  NHIS has backs on their seats, and these are in the
top row, so sight lines of the 1-mile oval are excellent.  They're in
Section Q-South, which is right in line with the end of pit lane, toward
Turn 1.  There's a small space to stand behind the seats too...good for
stashing the cooler and stretching your legs mid-race. It's 15 feet to the
stairway that leads to ground level (concessions, restrooms).  The ability
to get rid of a few gallons of excess fluid during a yellow-flag period
(that _is_ why it's a _yellow_ flag, isn't it? ;^) should not be
underestimated... 

The tickets are $65 face-value, and I'll sell them for that plus expenses.  
That is, if you want me to mail them to you insured (recommended), it costs 
$65 per ticket plus whatever insured postage costs.  If you'd like to throw 
in a buck or two or five on top for the trouble I've gone through to get 
them (and believe me, it's been considerable), that's gladly accepted too.

I need firm, cash-in-my-hand commitments by February 1.  The deadline for 
returning my preferred-customer form is in early February.
