Here's a few pics from one of our events at one of our local tracks. The photographer's name is William Westfall and he takes some real good shots, a real pro. Check these out. Here's me at the staging grid. Preping for launch.

No, those aren't Buddy Club. There Volk Racing LE37T 19s. Here's a couple more.

This last one is my favorite. It shows the Vette closing in on me. I could keep him at bay through the turns but in the straights he crushes me. We had about a 3 lap battle before he just put to much distance between me and him in the long straight and I couldn't catch him. Oh well, we'll see what happens when I get the supercharger on there.

This pic of the BMW gives you an idea of how much speed is carried through this corner and what a difference the coilovers, sway bars, and strut bars make.

Many thanks again to William Westfall and his fine photography. You can check out more of his gallaries HERE (www.williamwestfall.com)

He's a few more of some of the other cars that come out for the events here in AZ. Enjoy!:)

hhehe did you beat the m3 trailing behind?

Excellent. I am really liking how the autoexe kit looks on the car. I also am envious of how much faster you are probably taking the corners over my stock setup right now. That will be addressed before my next day out. :)

We need to arrange a track day meet for the west coast. If people think they like their RX8 now they would love it a lot more on the track.

Belive it or not, yes. He should have had me in the long straights but I don't think the driver was that seasoned. He seemed a little timid in the corners. All in all good fun.

I am WAY super impressed Huff. GREAT pics by William :cool: I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous; I'd love to have been there as a spectator :D

I told ya it was fun.

[stepping on soap box]

I believe that all sports car enthusiests should take thier car out to a local track and have some real, safe fun! And by the power invested upon me as the Lord of my own world, I here by declare that it be made marshal law that all RX8 owners take thier car out to a tack and learn its abilities and limits, as well as thier own. So it shall be written, so shall it be done.

[stepping off soap box]

Really this is one of the best ways to enjoy your car's full potential, in a safe, controlled environment. I know I can't enforce this law upon the entire forum but you better believe that for all the locals it's considered manditory or you will have to deal with me.

I totally agree with you Huff. I'm counting the days until I can put my car on the track. A West Rx8club track day would be great. Too bad noone wants to organize one.

BTW great pix. I love the AutoEXE kit. Makes the front end look like a Carrera GT

If you don't want to wait for someone to organize an rx8-only track day in CA, there are always these available:

Buttonwillow and Willow Springs:

Keep in mind that these are not wheel-to-wheel races, but more like practice sessions that cater to a wide range of abilities, from 1st-timers to seasoned drivers; they even encourage ride-alongs with instructors to help point out your lines, if necessary. Not only will you have fun pushing your car to the limits, but you'll also increase your confidence in your car and your abilities to control the car... I'm sure Huff can contend to that! Coming from an AWD to RWD, I desperately need to go once I get back from overseas!

Great pics and beautiful '8!

Rob

looking great Huff! must have been a blast

shawrf1, yep those are great events and on hand instructors are usually worth thier wieght in gold when it comes to offering suggestions and advise. I too went from AWD back to RWD, WRX to RX8. I figure as long as my next car has the letters R and X in it I'll be right on track. I'm thinking RX7 but we'll wait and see.

Do it Do it!

Thanks Shaw!

wow

your rx8 looks awesome

I love that front bumper

are you guys gonna put a spoiler on???

Yeah, I've been thinking about it but I can't decide which one. I'm kinda picky when it comes to wings.

i admit at first when i saw the autoexe kit it really didn't' appeal to me but it looks really great on titanium grey

mmmm....i love your car vivid. can't wait to see it soon. :) are you going to the track with us?

Well, right now it doesn't look good for me coming out to the Rocky Mountain get together. It looks like I may have to take care of some family bussiness. We'll see but I can't make any promises.

Looking great! I love those side view mirrors you got on. :-)

Man those pic's are awesome. Thanks for posting them. Keep up the good work on the 8.
Definately let us know when you get your S/C.

i don't see any pics, :(!!!

oh, never mine, there they are, they were not showing up before, that was kind of weird.

nice pics man!!!

love the way your rx8 looks!!!!

Great Pics!!! That ride is definately one of the sickest on the forum hands-down.
Love that profile pic w/ the blurry wheels.. :0

I've heard so much good stuff about you guys at Vivid... I'm waiting till after this Hurricane we're getting is over (if all is well) to call you guys up and get some parts for my ride!

Great! We look foward to hearing from you!

I wish I could take my car out on the track. :rolleyes:

wow that looks awesome, I would have loved to be there for that, especially to hear the viper run, love the way those cars sound. It's amazing how competitive the 8 is with only minor mods here and there, can't wait to see what the next few months/years bring us when it's full potential gets closer to being exposed.

Hey, this is the photographer :)

Glad to see you got a hold of the pics. How did you find them if you dont mind me asking?

Its a very good looking car, are you going to be at Firebird on the 18th/19th? I plan on taking pics there.

If not, send me an email letting me know where your next race will be.

Not sure if this is your car or not, but saw it in Mesa:
