Happened to see a few minutes of the Grand Am series and as I recall, there were 2 or 3 RX8's that finished first/second/third in their class...

Anyone have info or a link to coverage of that race?

I would really like to know the delta between our 8's and theirs. They were cookin' around that track (must have been 5 or 6 out there, some silver and some yellow).

The end of that race was interesting(took place at VIR)... apparently the #70 car had a huge amount of turf and debris blocking the radiator near the end of the race and temps were rising. They thought the engine was about ready to go, but it kept on strong for the last several minutes of the race with little to no airflow to the radiator. This car ended up finishing 2nd. :)

At Barber Park on October 9th, #70 took 1st again and beat that pesky RSX-S. It airs October 24th, 3 PM Eastern on Speed.
