Spots are filling up fast on Superbowl Sunday? This is the city of the Superbowl. I don't even like football and I am going to watch it just because it is here. Then again what time does the autocross start and what time is the game?

HOW in the world could you have EVER guessed that <grin>? No matter who's name is on the map, you can bet Roger had a hand in "tweaking" it.

Although, by the looks of it, David (my primary competitor) did come up with a "start/stop" kind of configuration that should favor the Boxster over the RX-8, but I'm intending to make him work for it.........

Thanks! The last run (52.7), I had Cody in the car for some real world comparison, and I tried to show off at the end of the slalom (#3 corner station on the map), and overshot the corner, coming almost to a stop.

The last cone was at a crest, so the car was VERY light at full throttle (since the first cone) trying to get stopped, but I can reiterate that the RX-8 has TERRIFIC brakes.

VERY technical course, but fun. All the Houston RX-8's should come out and play. Typically, events are the first Sunday of every month, but check the website to be sure (houscca.com).
