Video of First Auto-x
I haven't seen anyone post any pics of my RX-8 on the local racing forum, so no pics for now, but here is a video of my first auto-x in my RX-8. I have been going to auto-x with my 300ZX for the past 4 years and the 8 is definitely a lot different. The 8 feels a lot more nimble than my Z, but it also has a lot more body roll, granted it is completely stock and my Z has quite a bit suspension done to it. But anyway, here is the video.

Thanks Lebren. I still have a lot to learn with the RX-8. I know the ins and outs of my Z since I have been racing it for quite a while, and the RX-8 is a whole different beast. I will probably end up "retiring" my Z from auto-x next year and making the RX-8 my auto-x car since it is more competitive.

Looks good! Definately looks like an interesting place to run. Ft Deven's old runways are what we run on, alot more paved width, and the course designer generally keeps us bouncing around them quite a bit.
Here is one of my best runs to date, got quite a few more up on YouTube. I am probably done for the year unfortunately, burned through tires too fast and can't replace them yet

One reason I am working on getting a Miata. Cheaper to Auto-x, and I can beat the hell out of it on the track without my wife and pocketbook yelling at me too much.

Speaking of road courses, I plan on taking my 8 up to Mid-America Motorplex in Iowa in a couple of weeks, I will post pics and a video of that, too. MAM is a great track to learn a car on since it has almost zero walls, you can completely mess it up, spin off the track eight times, and you won't even come near a wall. It was the first track I took my Z too and had a blast.
