I got something to do so I left early.

it was MAd fun, now I know my car even more. which is : mad body roll on the mini-cockscrew corner.

now I will have to install the sways ASAP plus re-configure the coil over's setup. after Im happy with the setup, I will sign up to the driving course and test the settings there again.

Oh, have u guys notice that, some fuxking ******** kept on skipping lines ?

haha. looking good so far guys. three of my friends from school went. they said it was a great time and no joke quote:

"there was a [explicative] load of rx8's. i saw this one savanna that sounded like a weed whacker, but it was pretty fast. and i also saw this little blue miata that was pretty ballin'. don't know what the hell was in it, but it was loud as [explicative]. but man i saw a lot of eight's rollin' together."

happy birthday chris!

yea I noticed it too, ******* bitches.

its like right after they finished running, when u exit, instead of going straight down and get on the fuxking line. they just turn left. and "pretend" that they're speaking with friends or something, but 2 minutes after, u see them all hop back into the car and cut in line again.

bunch of ********.

i have pics up. http://graphicdesignlabs.com/rx8club...kday/index.htm

the g35. you can see where it hit the wall and its tire skid marks.


i had a lot of fun. it was really sucky having to drive back and forth the same day, but it was well worth it. my last run was really great. this ******* STI cut in front of me (we had the previous run together too) and i think he blamed the last run being slow because of me even though i was in the middle of the group? ... anyway he cut in front of me for the next run and he was the first car out. lets just say a 240sx and i stuck to him. he could not shake us. and he tried. haha.

omar, great driving dude! same to you chris. and everyone else. we should all do VIR together. www.mazdadrivers.com next summer! now that is a crazy awesome track. englishtown is a lot more fun than autocross (which im no big fan of, not enough full pedal to the metal) but its still awfully small.

It was a great group of rx8 owners (and a "mx5"). I learned a lot about my car and my driving skills.
The line wasnt that bad i ended up gettin a good five runs which comes to 6-8 laps each, so 30ishh laps and around a hour in all spread throughout the day. For free!!!

Btw I second the VIR idea i know im hooked and i already feel the urge for more.

Hey guys I want to THANK everyone who came out. And I also want to commend the guys who came out and shared there helmets with the rest of us who didn't have one. Rx8 guys are definitly a good bunch of people. This was my FIRST event that I posted and invited people out to. And for a first we had a pretty good turn out. I think we out numbered every car group their. So thanks again guys... More Pics!!!

It was one spin!

The rsx behind me **** bricks. He came to me after the run n asked how i caught it so easily. The 8 is amazing on the track even when it came to the extreme understeer (bad front tires) and the spin the car was so managable.
