Was this just a slow speed cruise day? Or full out lapping day? I'm going to Road america Oct 3rd and 4th. Its hosted by Midwest F-Body Association.

roadamerica.fbody.us is the website. Its a good price. Great fun when I went in mid April. I was hitting 125 on the 2 fast straights (with a 280 lb instructor with me) and that was easing my way around the track as I was new there and didn't know it. Plus just had new tires and pads on the car and was getting used to them too.

 

Looks like it was a lot of fun. Sorry I missed it, I was out of state.

Would any other Madison peeps be interested in getting together for a drive and then get something to eat at the Lube?

 

It was their "Tour the Track" event. Up to 150 cars go out on the track with two or three pace cars. Speed limit is supposed to be 70 with no passing in the corners. First lap was very slow. Then the pace car took off and for much of the remaining 6 laps (24 miles) it was pretty much as fast as you could safely go. Keep in mind that most of the drivers were not out there to race and weren't interested in banging fenders in their Vettes, Porches, Ferraris, Lotuses, Cobras, etc. Short of an actual track day, it's a lot of fun. I hit 110 a few of times in the straights and I was being passed a couple of times.

Zoom, Zoom!

 

04' RX-8 GT Black
Unity, WI...I am the only Up North WI Guy I see here.

 

Nope, I'm from marshfield, wi. And there are 3 other people that live in town that have Rx8's. Just trying to get them to go on a cruise or something is damned hard.

 

Nice We'll have to get together and cruse some weekend. I'm only like 15 mins North of you

 

Definitely. I'm going to the HPDE/Open track at the milwaukee mile on sept 5th. And then over to USA International Raceway the 13th of sept and then to Road America Oct 4th.

If you like to or want to track your car, plenty of local stuff.

PM if you want some more info for local stuff.

 

Hi all I'm new to the rx8 and new to WI. I live in new Berlin and have only been here about 6 months. I have a 09 MT GT stormy black mica . Just wanted to post ant say hi.

 

Welcome.

 

Indeed, welcome.

Does anybody have any info on RX8 cruises going on in the near future in WI, or elsewhere in the midwest?

 

we should all get together here for a cruise somewhere in wisconsin have had my 8 for 5 months and have yet to get together with some other people some one come up with a place and time

 

Tuesday evening at the Delafield Hardees at I94 and Route 83. This should be a good little show. A small contingent of rotaries would sure be nice!! I'll be there.
Zoom, Zoom!

 

Cool, do you have a time when people will start showing up? I may have to swing by and check it out and kill myself with some hardee's food while I'm at it.

 

They usually start showing up about 5PM. I plan to get there between 4:30 and 5. Should be a big turnout.

 

Hey Everyone. Im not new here and dont live in Wisconsin,I live in the Chicago area, but i drive up to Whitewater just about every week or every other week. Ive nvr seen any 8s up there or even when i was goin up there. So just dropping in and saying Hi and wondering where everyone is up there.

 

Cool I get off work about 4:30 but might need to run an errard then will roll over therei think I work in Sussex so it's just down the road

 

Damn, looks like i'll miss out. I don't get off work in Madison until 7. Bummer. Take pictures!

 

Wow! What a great turnout for the Tuesday car show! There are usually about 40 to 50 cars on any typical night. So this week I decided I would get there early, about 4:30, so I could get a good parking place. As I approached the location, I saw more cars there already than were usually there at peak time on any other night! I'm guessing well over 150 cars there for the night. Here are a couple pics I took.








Zoom, Zoom!

 

Awesome! How late do these usually last? There is no way I could get down there before 6pm, but I'd love to go some time.

 

They usually last till dark, although this week I left as it was getting dark and 3/4 of the cars were still there.

 

Cool. My son and I will try to make it down there this week. We'll probably get there around 6pm. Anybody else coming?

 

merkidemis, if you are coming I will definitely try to make it, weather permitting. Wheeldog was there last week. It's always great to have a contingent of RX's representing the breed!!!

Zoom, Zoom!

 

Damn it! Unable to make it this weekend too due to my Monday night activity getting moved to today. Come hell or high water I am going next week though!

 

hey all...been away from the site for a couple of months...anything new happening?

welcome to the two lightning yellows in Madtown!! Where you guys at? I have been seeing a few more 8s around Madtown lately....

 

Road America on Oct 3rd and 4th sponsored by Midwest Fbody Association. I will be there the 4th. I think its $5 for a guest pass and if you have a snell2005(might only be snell2000) rated helmet you can ride along with other people.
