Well, you never posted dates for it before, so, I was thinking you were wanting to rent some time at a track, or area for it and go out and play, hehe, 12 and 13? I will see, but I think I am working both days, I will go if I am not working....

sorry i didn't post the dates, i was lazy and just posted the link ...

the date is June 12-13, its dirt cheap for all the racing you get, and they throw in a dinner and theres a chance to win prizes...im not hosting the event by the way, it is being sponsored by KUHMO tires...other cars will be there racing...we can go there as a group....and i guarantee we will look the coolest....

okay, like hitmann would say, "im finished whoring"...

RT are you coming out or what? im calling you out...all you 8ters that want to race your car...here is the place....if you want to show off your car in front of other cars and people, here is the place, if you want to test your car to the limit in a safe environment here is the place....if you want to show up as an RX8 group and have people take notice, here is the place....

well.... rather not risk it in case someone spots me there LOL (one of my coworker's dad recently bought an 8, think he's ordered those forged mag mazdaspeed wheels too!)
but yea I'll try to make it for the 12th only!
have you tried wearing a helmet in your 8? I put mine on and I feel like my helmet would bang against the top or the sides whenever I tilt or turn my head! I guess that's what ppl were talking about when they wanted no sunroof with the leather seats :p

anywheres cool dude, kerrisdale is pretty central to me, let me know,

yo fietguy, you know if BIU or Jx8 are willing to go?

they haven't replied to this email yet....

i thought since BIU is such a keener on an 8 club, he would actually give a yay or nay to a real racing event...

come on 8'ters, it would look so much better if we had one more 8, two looks like a coincidence, three looks like a club....

any takers?
