talking about spinning out...
I had a civic spin out in front of my TWICE at MOSPORT DDT today! Once directly in front of me and the other time he was going so slow, he blocked a line of 5 cars, and then spun out. I was 3 cars behind him that time, and he almost crashed into the other two cars in front of me!

With temperatures close to freezing tires have very little adhesion, this **** will happen this time of year. You would not get me on a track this time of year, well maybe with a good set of performance winter tires. IMHO

Was it really cold out there yesterday?

The lightweight pulley makes the revs drop faster so it allows for faster shifts, not by a huge margin though..

as for the temperatures at DDT yesterday, it wasn't all that cold. A little breeze but i think it was around 16 degrees? that's what i remember the in-car thermometer said. I was on with all-seasons crap tires...and the traction wasn't all too bad (on some higher speed corners my car would jsut slowly slide off from the line on all 4 wheels)..but then again I wouldn't know anything about good traction since Ive never went tracking with anything close to decent tires

3:15PM - Saw a white RX8 w/ spoiler parked in the green P lot on the South East corner of Adelaide & Spadina

7:30PM - Saw another white RX8 w/ spoiler (this one looked like a 2009 model - similar to the one I saw in the Prima Mazda show room in the summer) which was parked in front of the Tait McKenzie building at York U

4-5pm on Thanksgiving Monday: White with tints and Ontario plates parked in the lot right by the skyway at Somerset Mall in Troy MI. I parked my BB two spots over from you and saw you leaving as I crossed over the pedestrian bridge.

Saw a silver RX8 parker outside of Croc Rock in Mississauga around 10:45PM on Saturday night......you had a vanity plate

Later around 1:30am on hwy 401 drove by a grey RX8 heading east....after i passed you, i slowed down to 105km/h.....so you could catch up...maintained that speed for a 1/4 mile stretch but i guess you were doing 95 km/h or so.....i took the 427 north ramp and i noticed you took the 427 south ramp

Saw a VR in Markham pulling out of an industrial complex along Denison near Woodbine. Had a mazdaspeed sticker on the trunk and some nice after market rims. I was in my winter car parked along next to you. Traffic moved so I just continued on ... wishing I was in my 8!

it was probably someone else, i haven't been around that area in quite a while and i'm the only one to ever drive it...and occasionally my brother

it's so frustrating to see so many 8s pass by and not even wave back or anything >=[ I've driven right beside a few Shinkas and i wave at them...and they just ignore...probably thinking that i'm not waving at them >.>

Just out of curiosity, how many of you guys are driving your 8s in the winter again (i know this is a bit off topic)?
