I'll be there Friday and Saturday, look for the black RX8 with gunmetal mesh wheels. It'll be nice to see some 8s out there, last time I was the only one. :)

I am thinking about signing up for this event.. I'll probably end up going once I convince my friend in his STI with modded suspension that his back can handle the 2+ hour drive.. :)

there are 96 cars registered already. it was 89 yesterday when i call ray, but he still didn't want to register yet!? so, i don't think ray is going to sign up, just like last event!!

Ok, I'm in white too. That's cool. How much track experience does everyone here have? I've been doing it for 2-3 years now, I usually run in blue/black but at BW I end up being the slow car so white is usually fine.

LionZoo
03-27-2008, 04:36 PM
White and this will be my first track day.

White, my first track day as well, if go cart does not count.lol

davefzr
03-27-2008, 05:23 PM
Boooooooooooo... The blue group is full so I wont be registering.. I have had many track days so the white group wouldnt be a good fit for me...

Hopefully i'll see you guys at Ca. Speedway in May. I'll make sure to register early for that one..

On a side note.. Man lxlxlxl_saki_lxlxlxl!!!

Your user name must be a b* to type in......

They'll bump you up if you're fast so starting in the white group doesn't mean you'll stay in the white group the entire day.

i think i will stick with white for a while.
P.S, thats y i save my username and do not have to type it again. =]

i'm running white, second time on track. i think for buttonwillow the rx8s will be one of the slowest cars (maybe not sammy's) but yeah white should be ok =]

i see 7 rx8's and like 3 rx7s signed up! yay represent the rotaries

KAtC10
03-27-2008, 07:19 PM
Yeah usually by lunch time groups start thinning out or people move around and you can usually always switch run groups or run sessions in other run groups. And yes, the RX8s will likely be the slower of the cars, so as long as you space yourself out from the n00bs or as long as they point you by, shouldn't be an issue. I ran white last time here and it was fine, and I spent a lot less time lifting to let faster cars go by me.

Does anyone have a schedule for how Saturday will play out? Thanks.

04-10-2008, 09:50 AM
There will be 5 run groups, so you will probably get five 20-25 minute sessions with lunch around 11:30. Aaron might email a schedule later today. As always, be at the track by 7:00 am and make sure you get to registration (I'll be there getting everyone registered) and the driver's meeting will be at 7:45.

It was great fun yesterday and the best thing was everyone returned home safe. When that FC flipped during the first session I was afraid it was a bad omen.

I want to know my last session time! I know that my fast time of the day was on the last session.

It was nice to see everyone, hope I didn't scare whoever it was that rode with me (sorry, I forgot everyone's names :( ). Did you guys check the last posted times before you left? I ended up at 16.9 something for best time, got it on the last session. Hope you all had fun, can't wait to do it again at Streets next month! :wiggle:

Oh, and as soon as we get pics/video uploaded I'll post the links here. :)
