Central FL RX-8s MIA at AutoX...

For the past year, i've been the only RX-8 in BS at the CFR SCCA autoX. I know some of y'all are around here. The pettit SC'd locals have come out a few times, but I wanna see a couple more...

We go to Deland, Palm Bay, Brookesville (I dont do that one), Sebring and if all goes well... we're going to have another new site soon.

So come on... lets see what y'all got.

I'm going to the Palm Bay practice event this month. Don't think I'll be able to make any others though. Hope to see you there.

Oh btw, I'm doing the martin sports car club autocross this Sunday, also. Let me know if you're going to that one, maybe we can caravan over there.

He'll be at the event this weekend, but I doubt he'll ever come back to this side of town again for autox

Thats a shame... just got back from the new geneva site, itll be a regular stop in 09... We got one more practice there in sept. Its awesome. Its brand new and huge. it cant be more than a year old, google maps still shows just fields.... Think bcc meets deland. There were the slow sweepers we get at palm bay, with some long fast straights. I hit the rev limiter in 2nd a few times because i was trying to not have to go 3rd, but its a lot better to go to 3rd. it was great. best day yet.... now if only we could do something about the rediculous hotness... course this is probably the worst itll be, but i cant wait for those october/november days... it seems like so long ago i actually brought another shirt because it might be cold rather than because the first one would be soaked in sweat. but next weekend, it will be victory sweat. yes...

No space in the car w. 2 ppl, chairs, 4 wheels/tires, jack, tools, cheez-its, helmet, compressor, oil, sunscreen, wrenches, underspray, magnetic numbers, and a cooler full of drinks and lunch.

I brought 6 bottles of water on sunday. it was not enough.

I don't really Auto-X, but I would love to get a group of CFL RX-8's together for a nice meet up.

Everytime I go out all I see is an abundance of Scion TC's for some reason

I'm about 10 minutes from UCF right off of Alafaya.

I used to live around there in Waterford Lakes (Waterford Chase East/Osprey Ridge to be exact). Now I live in West Melbourne on the east coast (about 7 miles from the BCC in Palm Bay where the events are this weekend). There will be at least two RX-8s there on Saturday, and you're welcome to join in.
