i knew it, i was like HEY, BEEP, BEEEEEEEP! i will see you there

 

for all of you that werent at miller park today, you missed out, the 8's kicked ***, including more revs

 

I guess I did ok. Got the Z on my last one, so we had a RX-8 1-2. It was mostly s2000 and Sti/Evo that got us on raw time. The car is certainly capable, I just needed more bravery

It was a great day, nice meeting you guys.

 

yea, eric did better, no offense, but he had the evos and sti's beat, the only ones he didnt beat were the v8 porche, the grey project car, and the vette. oh yea, the go cart too, that thing was badass, the best time all day. 59 sec

 

None taken. I can make all kind of excauses: he has wider/newer tires, lighter wheels, lighter car, blah blah...but let's just say he drives better. He's been beating me all year long, I only got him once.

 

i think the lighter wheels has a lot to account for him beating you, 1 pound of unsprung weight = 4 pounds, and those rims are only 17 pounds, so he took 80 pounds off his car, and he seems like he is a little more experienced

 

Yep...perfect day for a great event. The two 8's did a stellar job. It was great seeing them negotiating the course almost flawlessly, minimal body roll, all four tires firmly planted around each corner, and in basically stock trim! We had a brief discussion with the lone Nissan Z driver there and asked him if he had done any mods to his ride. After about the second paragraph of engine and suspension mods, my eyes glazed over! And somehow it seemed he was in the same class as the 2 stock 8s. And by the way, my informal timing put the 8s consistently even or 1-2 seconds FASTER than the Z-car!

Great day for the 8s!

Zoom, Zoom!

 

it was pretty amazing, but i got sunburnt, i dont know how, but i did

 

oh yea, john, i also added my location to the map on the rx club map

 

I don't see you on the RXclubofwi map. Are you sure you got the right one? Here's the link. http://www.communitywalk.com/rxclubofwimembermap

yea, you just have to check the box where it says silver rx8 on the upper right hand and then you will see my pointer

 

Got it! I guess I haven't seen that happen before. Usually whenever anyone adds their info it automatically shows up on the map. Anyway, looks good now.
John

 

yup, i didnt see the guy that lives by you on the map though

 

I'm going over to the car show at the Hardees at the intersection of I-94 and Hwy 83. Some sharp cars usually show up. Would be nice to see multiple 8's there! Going over around 5:30.

Zoom, Zoom!

 

tonight?

 

Yes

 

ok, i will be there, im leaving right now

 

Any good place to eat in the area? I will be in Waukesha tomorrow night, but I won't be free until 8-8:30

 

chipotle is awesome, i dunno if you have been there before, there are a few other places, just dont know right now

 

Late response - great day on Sunday! Nice meeting you all gear heads. The 8s were looking sexy. I can learn so much more from you guys. Just decided I will put away my 8 for the cold this Thanksgiving. Oh yeah, my bf found out he cannot use the snow tires coz they are too wide in the back to clear on a bump. Guess now I gotta sell them. More info later.

 

Sorry I missed out on Sunday, it was a gorgeous day. I ended up having family matters to attend to however.

Hey John, do they have the meet over at the hardees in Delafield every wednesday? If so I'm going to have to make one yet before the weather turns sour.

 

The show is on Tuesday evening, but you have only one more chance this season. Next week is the last one.

 

be there, or be square

 

Here's the link to the pictures that were taken at Hardees last Tuesday evening. http://dknurr.com/hardees07/Welcome.html See the group of pictures at the bottom labeled October 23, 2007 to see pics of my and Chets 8s.

Zoom, Zoom!
