Hmm...that guy is on the forums, didn't know he was in amherst though, good to know. :D
Cracker Barrel in Tewksbury, eh? Hmm... Nah wouldn't have been James.
There is a new Galaxy Grey in Waltham on my street. don't think they're on these forums though. Tried waving before but they weren't looking, or weren't interested in some young punk with a roll bar in his car. lol

Departed my Myles Standish industrial park yesterday behind a white-on-white "Sleeper Modz" RX-8 with plate xxx . AVA (alas in my Jeep). It had a nice single pipe race exhaust.
Made me wish I had driven my '8 longer this season, but today's snowy commute made me thankful I have a 'beater.'
Altspace, isn't Sleeper Modz one of your affilicates?

Sleepermodz white 8. That's Bob! :D Good racing buddy of mine. Kind of funny you ran into him. He's actually running my HKS Hi Power with a custom tip. Sounds soooo nice~

Huey52 - That was me definetly! Are you the black "8" in the Wilshire Lighting lot? I go through Industrial Park two days a week to pick up my two Foster Sons at their pre-school. I think I passed you once and flashed my lights.
No longer B Stock - SCCA combined B into C Stock now I have to go against
those pesky Miatas!

Nope. As you might guess from my avatar an '05 Shinka. Alas now hibernating. 
Great lookin' white '8!
btw: where's that autox course. Looks like an airbase/station.

Sorry I'm old everything is fuzzy to me - I hope to buy the wife a new vehicle this spring and I will end up with her old car as a beater so I don't have to continue to drive the 8 all year - Thanks for the comments, I do love the exhaust sound, the kids love it to, always asking me to go faster!!!

Heya Bob!
Enjoy my chair while you can! (I'll get it back one of these years)
Huey,
Devens is a great autox place compared to other locations I see on the web. I don't get to as many of the events as I would like, travel, timing, and burning my summers smooth this past year kept me away from most of them.
I try to have video running every time I go out though, if you want to take a look at more of the location:

That's what I thought. At least Devens is getting some use. I wish they'd open up the former NAS So. Weymouth runways to autox like they have the former MCAS El Toro. But the same lawyers that killed the aeroclub there would probably do the same.
Nice run; barely any roll. What sways, etc.?

He's running Koni yellows for shocks with stock size konigs, and 285 hoosier R comps, and the HKS hi power exhaust. Thats all he's got! :D Speaking of Sways though, were you thinking of ever upgrading the front bar Bob?

Huey, who are you referring to there? Bob and I both have WWPs (2 of the 3 in New England, Shakeyourbrakes is the only other WWP I am aware of, and his is clearly modded). The video is mine, and completely stock, Zelse is referring to Bob's setup.
If Bob has some video, I'd love to see it.

Sorry for the poor quality: This is when I had a co-driver for the day, there is a second run out there after this.
