Summit Point - Shanendoah Circuit - 5/14
I present sessions 2,3, and 4 of the green group:
Session 2
Session 3
Session 4
Footage was taken with my GoPro. My instructor was awesome, he tracks an FB...and he does it very very well.
Session 1 was in the rain and I don't think my driving was post worthy.
Session 2 was on a damp track. I started to get the line a little bit better.
Session 3 I had my line pretty much down. Gdawg522 and I were going at it for a bit there. I gave him a point by so he could enjoy the open track in front of me. I captured some sweet flames shooting...and my instructor and I yelling when they shot.
Session 4 Awesome. I had to bully a 135i, 335i, 370Z, and a few other cars in order to really rip through the track.
tl;dr - If you are able to do a HPDE at Shenandoah...DO IT! Its a very technical course and you will see how our RX-8's can really drive

This circuit (and the Jefferson) are really the only things I seriously miss about having moved out west.
I've actually contemplated trailering the car back there for a weekend just to run Summit again.
I miss the seafood, too. But that is another story...

I must say that the changes in elevation make the track a freaking blast to drive on.

It's rare to find somebody who a) knows what the Jefferson is and b) likes it. I did my first track day more than a dozen years ago on that track. Learned there that early apexing is "wrong" but fast. 
I still love it, but rarely get to drive it anymore. Few clubs run on it and BSR doesn't run any FATTs on it. 
I think only NASA does TTs on it anymore.Everything is more expensive around DC. Soaking up all that Gubmint money...

Took me a little while to figure out why you only shot fireballs out one side, then I realized you have a Hi-Power exhaust. My car's still louder.
I know I had fun despite the rain: If I'm doing the math right, I used 25 gallons of gas in 165 miles. That's right, campers; 6.6 MPG W00t!

I used roughly 10gal on 90mi of track time. Then i got ~22mpg cruising at 75mph back home; ~10gal used and 220mi of all highway driving.
To be honest I wasn't checking my mirrors I was happy as **** that I finally found my way trough the traffic. I did glance back a few times but only when I was approaching the passing zones.
