Hey everyone! GREAT MEET!!! I got some really great pics. I just got home so the first set of pics should be in about ten minutes. So for those of you who can't wait, WAIT! They will be up in a few. By the way, raging down I-90 was kick a**! :D

on the first turn on the off ramp did I brake after the initial turn-in? like did my brake lights come on during the curve itself? a.k.a trail braking?

I'm not sure if I did, but I thought I might have. It's a bad habit that I picked up from autocross...

Great Meet!

I just want to thank everyone for making these pics possible. It was a lot of fun organizing the group together to get these cool pics. Not to mention everyone that I met for the first time were all AWESOME! I know I had a lot of fun and hope you all did too. Can't wait to meet up again. 9 "8's" in one place sure does make heads turn!!! :D

Nice meeting you all thanks for the invite.... I Guess I missed out the I-90 cruise I went straight to it i guess. I saw everyone going in the opposite direction so I got confused

I posted some pics on RX-8 group.com to try to get in touch with more RX-8 owners.

see here:
http://www.rx8group.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=79

I also posted pics on JGTCA.com and Chicago Turmoil.com

Racewar, hope don't you mind me pimpin' out your pics... :D


Should I post on RX-7 Club? Do we want to invite RX-7 guys out to future meets???

Also, how often should we meet? Is everyone cool with weekly where we alter the days a bit so we can loop in more people???

Do we have a name yet?

RedSheDevil: help!!! We need you...



And everyone please remember:
"Schaumberg is not the racing capital of the world" :D
