Okay, buddy but I hope you fixed your spark plug/coil issues because we don't granny shift. We live our lives one quarter mile at a time.

well actually we will prolly be cutting out the kerrville portion of the run.

This is to see how long it will take us to run at normal speeds not the 35mph that google calculates at.

Attention All RX8 Owners:

The belts for our cars are more rare than black diamonds so if you have a high mileage (mine were replaced once before) RX8 please check your belts before the statewide run.

For those who were not there; my water pump belt disintegrated at 8,000RPM and Grungepup and I covered 300 miles trying to find a replacement belt without luck so we had to leave my car at a ranch and head back to SA to get one.

So we are headed back up to repair it and hopefully my car is safe
