Thanks guys. Yeah, my '06 should be fine, but it's definitely good to keep an eye on things.

Yeah, BS didn't really show well on PAX, either. Not sure what that is all about, as there's no doubt that we had lots of top drivers in the class. I'm at a loss to understand what it was about the course that didn't "work" for the RX8...seemed to allow plenty of time in the sweet spot of the power (powerless?) band, lots of transition and a sweeper or two. Shoulda been good, I'd a thunk...

Added to this fact is that DSP ran in heat 1, while BS ran in heat 3. You'd definitely have thought BS would have been right there. That crazy Russian in DSP has been known to drive like an alien on occasion. Maybe it was his weekend.

I was really, really surprised at the PAX results for BS. I was telling the AS guys that I thought the RX-8s would RAW time us on Saturday.
