c'mon man, white can never compete with black for mirror reflections ...

 

lol. True. It also can't compete with the raging heat that accumulates in the chassis from the sun in Phoenix!





Burning down a Mustang (he stepped out like he was gonna pass me and I put 5 car lengths on him before the end of the straight).

 

oh snap I took those pictures! haha

 

Did you forgot to close your sunroof MM ?? I think I saw it fully opened in the 2nd pic lol

 

I guess it's about time I put some pictures up...

some cone dodging action




i hate the body roll but im doing a koni/h&r setup when i get the time to install it just need to find some sway bars that will go good with it


here is one pic from the pits at autobahn country club in joliet IL




i had got a flat and didnt want to miss out on this MOCA event so i borrowd the front rims from my friends 240sx... that sucked having a wider stance up front becouse of the offests

 

Here's mine...

Autocross:



Rallycross:



And the aftermath of the Press On Regardless TSD Rally:

 

rallycross pic is broke... i been thinkin about checking one of those out but it seems like it would be really rough on my purdy paint.

 

sucks that your in florida to your going to miss out on all the great ice racing events up north. that stuff is easy on the paint and should be just as fun i cant wait to put the rx8 on ice

 

^ where are you located? you should check out my ice racing thread (in my sig)

 

im in IL ive been wanting to get in to it for a while and this winter i should have the time i cant wait!

 

you're lucky they have a pretty good club up there that does rally style racing on the ice (one car at a time vs the clock). if you ever want to get into wheel to wheel ice racing check out the AMEC (icerace.com). let me tell you, that first green flag in the middle of a pack of 30-40 cars is quite the adrenaline rush

 

I'm actually going to be doing some autocross/rallycross style ice runs with the Saginaw Valley Region SCCA this winter. I might also have a ride in my buddy's 1st-gen MR2 in wheel to wheel ice racing with the Michigan Ice Racing Association.

CnnmnSchnpps, I wasn't sure if you were racing wheel to wheel or solo? Which is it? Wheel to wheel in a daily driver seems pretty scary...

 

i've been doing wheel to wheel... you can't beat the track time per $, and it's also the only thing that's available nearby (and even that is relative). i went a "full" season with no contact (2 races with AMEC, 1 3-hour endurance race in Maine).

yes it's a little scary at first, but if i compare this to, say, an HPDE day, i think i would feel safer ice racing. the thing is, people that come here know what they are there for (since it's a relatively little known form of motorsport). plus the speed ranges are lower so even if you get in trouble it's likely it will be a fender bender, not a total loss going 100+ into a wall

sure teaches you situational awareness though... gotta know exactly what is coming up behind you. the 3 hour race i did, all the cars were in the same run group, meaning i was on the ice at the same time as the "DOT stud" cars, which had a ton more grip than me; i had to look waaaay back to make sure people would be passing me on the straights

 

Here's a couple of mine at Fort Devens with the Renegade Miata Club. I head up with Astral and Green Blurr all the time.

 

So technically it's only mine one stint at a time, but still....

 

I guess we'll count it Jose!!! haha

 

LOL.... Hey, if only Grand Am would allow us the three rotor for ST maybe we could hang with the turbo cars....

 

lol Nice you get to drive that. Bet she's a beast :P Is that the only one for the team?

 

Here's some from the local Datsun 510 car club.....









I need to get a bigger zoom lens to give my buddy a chance to take some closer shots.
