That sounds about right for th Va beach crowd. All the deployments hard to keep a group together. Which is too bad had some good times with those guys.

Just bought my 2004 Brillant Black RX8... I'm in VA beach... car was pretty thrashed when I bought it.. Dealer ended up having to replace the motor... Previous owner put 20" TSW Thruxtons on it.. looks pretty mean but not really my cup of tea.. Trying to find stock rims.. Found 2 need the other two so if anybody knows anyone getting rid of their stocks hit me up on here. They also put two towing hooks in the front.. from what it looks like its welded on to the bumper beam.. I hope not.. but will have to take the bumper off to find out... so all in all I bought it because the motor was rebuilt by Mazda and I slapped and extended warranty on it... its a project.. I've previously owned a 95GST, 97GSX, 350z, 99 Si, MKV GTI and I have to say even in its current condition the 8 has to be one of the funniest cars I have ever driven...

Yeah, I am going to school here at Virginia Tech now. I thought about joining the car club here, but I haven't been to - or heard of - any meetings yet.

Now if someone could organize a meet in the Hampton roads area that would be amazing. I have only had my RX-8 a month but I am looking to get out there with others.

They should have covered some of it for you since you just bought it. Lots of good info on here to fix everything on the car for a lot cheaper than dealer.

Auto-x this Sunday 4/21 at VMP in Dinwiddie. I'd like to see some more RX8s out there!!

NASA Mid-Atlantic Autocross 2013 » fun with cars and cones

I've run with NASA in my RX8 for the last 5 years now and I've only ever had another RX8 show up ONCE. Even for track weekends, the RX8s are thin... come on guys!

New to racing or have questions, just ask... they're all friendly people or you can even hit me up.
