The Import Drags have now gotten so big, we have decided to seriously join in. Our backgrounds are all in road racing, so this is essentially all new to us - should be fun! Work was started in late November of '97. Progress is slow, and will continue to be slow as this is a "spare time / weekends" project. We have been very busy for a long time with normal business, which does not leave a lot of "spare" time. We decided to run a first generation as sort of a "return to the roots" of the RX7. We were hoping to have it ready for the Battle of the Imports at Palmdale in late May of '98, but did not even come close. Debut will be Feb 27 and 28 at the Battle of the Imports at LACR.. Images will be added periodically as we make significant progress. |
