Houstonians:

I'll be running my totally stock RX-8 at the Houston 1/2 mile at Ellington Field on Saturday May 12. Entries are limited to 100 cars, but it let me in, so at the moment there are still slots.

I'm sure to get my *** kicked by some far more capable machines, but I couldn't resist seeing what my car will do in comparison.

If you have a spare $225 sitting around, and you want to know what your car will do, please come join me!

If you just want to come watch, entry is only like $5 or so. Come cheer me on!

Here's the link to register, pass it on to any rotary friends you have, let's get some piston-less cars in this event!

I didn't even know about that event and I live right behind Ellington.

 

Bumping this to remind anyone who wants to come to this event. I'm car #42, come cheer me on!

Any guesses what a stock RX-8 will do in a 1/2 mile drag? I haven't a clue.

 

Helmet-cam of my run. I was slightly disappointed, but I had fun anyway!
