The Speedsource guys are running Racing Hart wheels.
Another reason they said they did not use the MS rear bumper, is because it is two pieces, not one like the front, so when they get hit in the rear by another car, they would have to replace the rear bumper, then graft on the MS rear, too much of a PITA, with as much parts replacing they do. While we were in their paddock area last year at Barber, they were putting the front of the #68 back together after a run in with some armco.
Can't wait to meet the new drivers at Barber this year, should be fun.

I was at the Phoenix event and was able to walk around the Speedsource tent as they got ready for the race. Seeing the cars and drivers up close was very cool. I have some pics I need to post. The heat was brutal on the cars. Part of the event had "***" and Tarzan drive participants around the track in modified cars. Unfortunetly the cars were over heating and their cars were retired before I had a chance to go for a ride with them.
For the less fortunate Speed TV is scheduled to reair the Phoenix race Wedensday at 4 pm central if anyone missed it.

When they re-air the race, look on the outside of the hairpin corner you can see my dad and I watching the race and taking pictures (I'm wearing the khaki hat). That is where most of the pictures I posted are from.
I am still working on posting the remaining pics at some outside webpage. I took pics from all of the races and lots more of the RX8. Anyone know if these sites like kodak, photo bucket will take small videos? I have about 10-15 short (20 sec) videos. They are great for the sound. The Speedsource RX8's are the loudest cars out there.

OK, I was able to put all of the pictures I took from the race in an online album. Let me know what you think. Sorry it took so long.
Enjoy
