No, i haven't done any autox yet. I've seen others doing autox in front of applebee's park and commonwealth stadium. I just got mine used a couple months ago and I'm still in the process of modding it before summer. My 8 is a Titanium Gray GT package with black tint and the faux chrome front grill. The MS catback is a nice addition if you're looking to go that route.

You're not the dude that ran with my silver tiburon a few months back on Broadway are you? Who ever that was, I told them the 8 was my dream car.

There are no tracks in Lexington that I know of, however, there are weekends where a bunch of tuner guys meet in front of Commonwealth Stadium and (i've heard) Applebee's Park. I think these events are autocross and no racing, save for against the clock, actually occurs.

I haven't been to either of the events, but I leave for out of town soccer games from commonwealth stadium on the weekends and I see them there as early as 7:00am and as late in the afternoon as 4:00.

Just wondering who all was in Lexington too, I see many 8s around town and don't know anybody, it'd be cool to check out what everybody's got.
