I was at Disney, on the way back I could swear I saw whiterex going North on 75 (I was on the way to Naples from Disney to look at a property before getting back to Miami, and how many White RX8's with Mazda contingency stickers really Travel North from Ft. Meyers 
)
Anyway... seems the SSS mailing list is already buzzing with the speed being protested. Funny how when I protest it "Not normally exceeding" gets thrown at me. I guess it takes a protest at the National Level to make a dent
Bravo to the guys who protested.

Alex, that was me... Ian was .1 sec behind the carts. The fast guys were in the 47's in BS, he ran like a 44.2... I heard that the course yesterday was protested. It was faster than any local events in my area for sure.
After the first day, I was in 6th place(behind the rest of the rx8's) and it was about a second from first to 6th.

I certainly realize that BS times were not up to par with a lot of other classes...that performance is certainly not an indicator of future dominance for either driver of my car. However, we did what we needed to do to finish at the top of the class--and that doesn't suck. Congrats to Aaron on popping his national cherry. And it sure felt nice to end a loooooong national wood drought for me. And--gasp--I believe my car was the only RX-8 in the field that had never seen the benefit of a TeamRX8 part ... LOL
The courses were fast. Saturday was the Saturday course I've seen at at least two prior NT's there, with a few minor changes. No 3rd gear for us, but lots of beeper time and maybe a limiter hit here or there. A blast to drive, but a bit annoying that they refuse to do an original course.
Sunday was the same general shape and flavor (transition til you puke) but not a replica of any course I've seen there before. Sunday was faster...as said above, a little 3rd gear time.
Fun weekend...perfect weather...and aside from the course design controversy, the event was very well run.

Clearly Darin and Mark were driving better than us but wheelbase really ruled at this event. With the exception of Ian in the GT3, even SS got tamed.
