cool,

hate to see you not track the 8, but i do understand.

mine has gone to the rarely daily driven waiting for the next track day..

the problem is not modding my ms3!

btw, give me a heads up before you get rid of any rx8 for track stuff..

It was kinda like an autocross on ice - they had a course set up with cones on a lake & you did timed runs. It was the first time I had gone to an event like this and it was a blast.

Most cars had just winter/snow tires on, but there was a class for studded tires as well... pretty amazing how fast the cars with the studded tires could go on ice

How in the eff did you manage that much body lean on ice? On my snow tires I get .0001g of lateral grip.

There were some cars running studded tires that really tore up the ice & gave it a decent amount of grip. That run I was the 1st one out after quite a few had rouged the ice up a bit, but I think it may just be the camera angle that makes it look like its leaning

Few from last weekend (yeah, not all are rx-8s but there was one there on studs so bite me). Also, after a while (few events, heats) the ice isn't exactly table-top smooth.
