i could've pulled more. i wasn't fully flooring the car around the track due to the car over heating. on that back straight i would get about 230 degrees...too hot for my liking.

Great video! Wankelbolt was kind enough to give me a ride during one of the instructor sessions. Nice to see what the car can do with a real driver!

Without traffic, I would hit 105 on the back straight, just over 110 on the main straight. I couldn't see Wankelbolt's speed there.

I think that was the lady in front of me at tech. That's her husband and kid in the pic.

I used to see 140+ in the FD on the back straight before I'd stop admiring the speedo and focus ahead of me. I'll be curious to see what I can get the RX-8 up to.

How may events have you guys run? Will you be running the August full course event?

That was my first. I was planning on going again next year, but if I can swing the weekend off (with work and wife) I'll do Mazda Drivers over Labor Day weekend. If not, there's a Porsche club event in September a couple friends are going to, but that's perilously close to my anniversary.
