Sorry guys, won't be there this date .... I was going, but found a BMWCCA Adv Skills Course on 8/20 @NHIS $45 & BMWCCA Driving School (HPDE) on on 9/8 @NHIS $165(!)...so like two events for the price of one, PLUS Speedracer is planning on an appearance w/his new MS Miata those dates - how could I miss the opportunity to pass him :D maybe for the 1st and last time he's around these parts ;)

I also procured a camcorder and spinMOUNT, I've got some great video from the BMWCCA day.

I know I know, i need to get off my lazy arse and move the vids onto my comp. I'll need someplace to host them too, I don't think my cable modem connection at home can handle it. My 3rd session was the best one on Sunday from the BMWCCA day.

New Tires are BF Goodrich g-Force T/A. I did not get the sway bars yet because I might get a 2006 when they come out. No info yet one the 2006 model. :)

Just looking to upgrade the only thing i would like to have that i dont now is trac control. I put the new tires on an i noticed that the car drives much differant than with the stock tires. I noticed the differance mostly when turning. It seems to turn much easyer than before. I seem to be chacing the car with the steering wheel when driving on the highway. Cant wait to get out on the track. to see what these tires will do. Hope to see you there. :)

Excellent! I should see you guys there. This is definitely gonna be a mechanics day for me. I'll be working on a new driving line through some of the sections.

Moe - are there any additions to the 2006 MY RX-8s?

I don't know the info will not be out till next month. did you check out the vids on my web page?

Yeah I checked them out, the one where I spin out is kinda funny. You can't see me but you can hear the tires screaching like a mutha!! Rammstein looks good going through the south chicane. You looked good too, looked like you were getting on the throttle a little more.

Another great day at the track. NO RAIN. I think the tires were great, but i think i need a rear sway bar after thinking about how the car was handeling today. Justin i think i will take you up on the offer on the sway bar, if you still want to get ride of it. Let me know.

Another great day at NHIS with the SCDA. The weather looked quite ominous but it held out, then POURED on our way out. I managed to work the sway bar kinks out and the car rewarded me with my best day yet. Rammstein and vwnh looked awesome out there. Speed Racer wasn't in out group but attended with his MS Miata.

vwnh, I'll def sell you the sway bar. It'll be sometime around the end of this month unless I can find a good deal before next Thursday. I'll let you know.

I'm pulling my video onto my computer as we speak. Got some great footage. Got an R32 going off on turn 3 during the last session. He was alright, just massive tire burn on the hood and side fenders.

It keeps re-buffering, and I can't just download and play - I have to stream - then it keeps re-buffering, I'll watch it after it all gets run through once.

Let's see, was that sqeakie brakes I hear in there? And you take a way different line in several places, but you seem to get around pretty good :) ...damn I wish i was able to get out there with you RPIRX-8, you know, just to follow you around heehee :D

you should increase the amount of data you buffer in the settings of your Windows Media Player. Let me put the actual file in there to download. It is my entire session 4, 141MB.

The squeaky brakes were that Mitsu 3000GT in front of me. I am doing 1:27s with a best of 1:24. I was definitely looking forward to see you out tomorrow. Hope everything goes well with your family issues.
