Sorry guys, won't be there this date .... I was going, but found a BMWCCA Adv Skills Course on 8/20 @NHIS $45 & BMWCCA Driving School (HPDE) on on 9/8 @NHIS $165(!)...so like two events for the price of one, PLUS Speedracer is planning on an appearance w/his new MS Miata those dates - how could I miss the opportunity to pass him :D maybe for the 1st and last time he's around these parts

yup, i still think i'm gonna go. I mean, its only $235 right? who needs $235? I'm hoping to get bumped again to Intermediate 2 or Advanced. We'll see!

I also procured a camcorder and spinMOUNT, I've got some great video from the BMWCCA day.

I know I know, i need to get off my lazy **** and move the vids onto my comp. I'll need someplace to host them too, I don't think my cable modem connection at home can handle it. My 3rd session was the best one on Sunday from the BMWCCA day.

New Tires are BF Goodrich g-Force T/A. I did not get the sway bars yet because I might get a 2006 when they come out. No info yet one the 2006 model.

Just looking to upgrade the only thing i would like to have that i dont now is trac control. I put the new tires on an i noticed that the car drives much differant than with the stock tires. I noticed the differance mostly when turning. It seems to turn much easyer than before. I seem to be chacing the car with the steering wheel when driving on the highway. Cant wait to get out on the track. to see what these tires will do. Hope to see you there.

Excellent! I should see you guys there. This is definitely gonna be a mechanics day for me. I'll be working on a new driving line through some of the sections.

Moe - are there any additions to the 2006 MY RX-8s?

Yeah I checked them out, the one where I spin out is kinda funny. You can't see me but you can hear the tires screaching like a *****!! Rammstein looks good going through the south chicane. You looked good too, looked like you were getting on the throttle a little more.

Another great day at NHIS with the SCDA. The weather looked quite ominous but it held out, then POURED on our way out. I managed to work the sway bar kinks out and the car rewarded me with my best day yet. Rammstein and vwnh looked awesome out there. Speed Racer wasn't in out group but attended with his MS Miata.

vwnh, I'll def sell you the sway bar. It'll be sometime around the end of this month unless I can find a good deal before next Thursday. I'll let you know.
