1986 Silver Fiero 6 cyl. Automatic No Longer For Sale.
« on: August 10, 2009, 08:21:23 pm »
Please note: This car is no longer for sale.

Hi All.  

I am a female Fiero lover in Athens, GA and this is my second Fiero. My husband and I have been on an SCCA road racing team since 2001 racing Mazda

Hi Tammy,
I'm very sorry to hear about your divorce. I hope things will get better for you soon.
Is your V6 car a fastback or a notchback? If you would like to post pictures here so folks reading your message can see the car, you may send them to admin(at)gafieroclub(dot)org.
Maybe you should consider driving one of your Fieros with us on this year's Run For The Hills. It might just cheer you up.

thinking outloud about racing......

I sent the photos to the email you provided. Thank you.

Hmmmm - run for the hills.    :D  That sounds interesting.  Do you have to do the regular driving speed limit on the run?

What would really cheer me up though is putting a roll cage in it, making a few changes, putting it on a trailer and tearing around Barber Motorsports Park or Roebling Road or Road Atlanta.

Is there any interest in the Fiero group about starting a SCCA race team?  I have seen a couple of Fiero's over the years at Road Atlanta. Maybe I just need to put a team together for the Fiero. Fieros race in a different class from my old team - so it would be a totally different bunch of competitors.  I have 7 years experience as a team manager, radio person, parts finder, with car graphics, photographer, and etc. I'm great with organization, detail, and parts, but not a welder or mechanic!

Anyone who wanted to drive the racecar would have to go to racing school which takes a week-end. The best racing school is at Roebling Road because the track is flat, but still fast.

When someone races in the SCCA they have a variety of races to choose from. It only takes racing twice a year to maintain one's race license, but there are all sorts of opportunities. And there is an awesome race each November called charge of the headlight brigade at VIR. It takes multiple drivers because it is a 13 hour race.  It tests everyone's ability to the fullest, but really forms the team. We won our class both years we participated in it.  It would be nice to take a Fiero there and see what it could do as well.


Smiles, Tammy

No, we take the curves fast. For your enjoyment, click here for some pictures from a trial run of this year's RFTH.

Why don't you consider keeping it and putting it back on the road.  Even as a race car.  We have a couple of mechanics and body people that can help out if you break it. 

If you'd like to see, in person what we do, we're doing a final shakedown run for the upcoming Run For The Hills on August 22.  You're welcome to come along.  I'm sure someone will have an empty seat. 

We did have a member that runs SCCA.  Got a lime green fastback.  He runs at various tracks, including Road Atlanta.  There was another member that had a black 85GT with a 4.9 Cadillac engine that may have run up there, too.  I have a track day at Road Atlanta set up for us in November, but after all the wishing we had's, I don't think anyone is going to participate.  You can see the thread in "What would you like to do?"

The closest mechanic is in Snellville, just off Hwy 78.  He has a trailer so he can pick it up if needed.  A mechanic and body man is in Commerce.

Today was my day off and this morning a very nice young couple showed up to look at my Fiero. It was to be for the young lady

oops - you said "run for the hills" not tail of the dragon. I've got to figure out where that run is. I'm going to look around the club site now and figure out how to join too.

If you want to race it, might I suggest a 3800SC install? Pushing 340 hp? Let me know if you're interested.

Contratulations on having problems with your Fiero.  Probably is in a better home as it is.  A young teen with a bunch of speeding tickets doesn't need a Fiero.  

Run For The Hills is an event we do every year.  The location is different each year.  Every 3rd year, we return to The Tail of The Dragon.  This is the year to tame The Dragon, again.

There won't be a meeting before we do the trial run, but we will be going up US 441 to get to Franklin, NC.  If someone has an empty seat, you could meet us in Cornelia where 365 and 441 meet.  If my Brother doesn't ride with me, I'll have an empty seat.  I'm sure others will, too.  Don't know if there are any other ladies going, or not.  Pat, is Linda going?

it's kinda up in the air weather I go or not, I really want to. my wife seems interested, so she may attend, that's another female that may get added to the list. the factors at play are: my new job(finally), i dont have much confidence in my brake systems current condition for such a trip, and my oldest is having some tests run and if those tests show some unwanted results he may in and out of the hospital for a while.

you really should go tammy. that area is beautiful, and members of this club are GREAT!!

I don't think she's going on the trial run. I'm trying to talk her into the real run, and we can be tourists, since I will have made the run a couple of times already by then.
