Thanks chiketkd, but the credit goes to my brother, Hubert, who took the pictures.

 

Oh, snow/ice racing. No action pics...but I do have this killer video. http://www.altspace.com/rx8/winter/rx8_snow_fun.html

 

I haven't posted any updates in a while, so I'll share what I got for the 2010 NASA midwest season. New Sparco Sprint 5 seat with sliding rails, new 4pt Sparco "tuning" harness (I got this cheap, will be changed to a proper racing harness....just want held in place and not slide all over the damn place), plus a custom ghetto exhaust that I got the idea for from a couple guys on this site. Basically it's just a straight pipe with a supertrapp on the end. It's loud as ****, but it's not my daily driver so for now, it works. Saves quite a bit of weight, and that's the big point. Few other upgrades (hp+ pads, better fluids, blah blah). And last but not least, I picked up some of the Advan 07's that were a STEAL from tire rack.

Here's to hoping for track day weather -- and soon!

 

Images from last weekend at Road Atlanta with NASA-SE. I ran TTD and won 1st place on Saturday and Sunday.

 

Awesome pics and congrats at first place! Hopefully I can get first place at an event or two this year for autocross...guess we'll see! :D

 

By the way, those photos are by Travis Rhoads... "L8APEX". He ROCKS at the track with a camera. I have a lot more but I'm selective about posting.

 

How do you have your harnesses mounted in the rear seats?

 

Don is so fast that he can get waaay ahead of everyone, get out of the car and pose for photos! Not pictured is D.Y. detailing his car prior to the Travis photos. Very fast indeed.

 

Watching you Eric, is an inspiration. Especially from turn 3 at Road Atlanta.

 

I'm off to the track tomorrow so i thought i'd share some pics from this last season.

Thanks TankerG and RX-8 Putih for all the pics from Pacific Raceways!

 

Someone snapped a cool shot of my 8 next to Laurie and Eric's GTR. That cone mark looks painful...

 

Yeah, that's because he hit it at like a million.

 

Did you hear about the time he cut a cone in half?

Eric hit a cone with that CF splitter going like 70mph or more and it cut the cone almost completely in half. The top part of the cone fell over and was connected to the base by maybe a 2" strip. The BSCC guys didn't know what to call it since the base stayed in the box so they had to look at their rule book. They eventually decided it was clean and now list that as another "exception" when giving the driver's talk alongside flipping a cone up in the air and having it land back in the box.

 

time to start attaching razor blades to your front bumper

 

I was thinking table saws

First time on a course













I shaved 5 seconds off my slowest (first) run of the day, can't wait to do it again!

 

^A Track...? Looks more like a parking lot to me...

 

Who said track? haha not me!

 

^Good save, glad to see more people are starting to Autocross. If you have any questions, just post them up, we have alot of experienced AutoCrosser's on this site.

 

Man, looking at your pictures makes me miss my stock suspension a little. There was something fun about the way you had to manipulate the roll to throw through the tight transitions

 

I could have manipulated much better if I had remembered to turn the DSC off

 

NJMP for Redline Time Attack's test and tune. I couldn't complete on sunday since my driver side rear caliper failed on me.









With my trim...before caliper failure...

 

What happened to the caliper?

 

A mix of PennDot's massive potholes on the PA turnpike and the caliper falling apart. My rim has some rough road rash from it all...but strut and tire are fine.

Oh well, there will always be another HPDE.
