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...
