^Last time I checked it's not hard to get on that list..but who knows...
And Mark, I would do the blytheville Pro but theres only 2 signed up now, and I'd want a full class and not that bump class mojo.
Chike, I want to do Dover, but it depends on how many people were signed up for the class, I had much more of a fun time in Houston driving Jay's car based on the amount of competition I faced in the class, It was nice to take a win in STX in Dixie, but after Randall coned his runs, there wasn't really any pressure, taking most of the fun away...

Don't go making me put the R on a diet and take out the stock seats this weekend with all this fighting talk - they only weigh 70lbs each

Well... Got the car corner weighted today. With a little over a quarter tank, and the heavy *** full stock exhaust system, but everything else is done on the car...Car came in at 2,790. Not bad I'd say. Can't wait for Jersey! :D

Just got back from a 2 day event this weekend at Michelin Proving Grounds. I put a set of 295 Hoosier A6's on with probably half life left, and ran a 58.0. Earlier that day I ran my Hankooks and ran a 60.6...The Hoosiers were 2.6 seconds faster. Temps were pretty similar throughout the day.

BSP is just fun...period. lmao. We'll see how everything goes. Right now the new alignment is sexy time, just can't wait to finish her up!
And thanks Chike! Hopefully she'll be done for ProSolo. Worse case, BHR is giving me a loaner midpipe to use until we sort out the logistics of the header.

What's the word on Corksport's catted/resonated midpipe?
I've searched RX8Club (and Google searched also) but came up empty.
Looking to replace my OEM midpipe with an STX legal high flow replacement and was leaning toward BHR but hoping to find other, less expensive alternatives. Found Corksport offers a 60 mm stainless catted + resonated midpipe for $449 - appears to be STX legal; Corksport generally seems to have excellent customer feedback; their sound clips seem reasonable (not too loud) - so I'm interested in finding out more. But my searches are coming up short on details, like brand/robustness of the cat, HP gains, and general customer feedback, other than one guy posting that he had trouble with leaks at the rear flange, apparently the result of incorrect mating angle of the midpipe's rearmost section.
Anyone have any good info, experience, or solid customer feedback w/ Corksport's catted midpipe?
Thanks -
Keith

Called Corksport and found out their cat is an Eastern Catalytic unit. Never heard of them, and a search here on Eastern Catalytic came up empty. I was hoping for a Davesport cat, but not surprised based on Corksports relatively low price. Corksport claims no reported problems with these cats on RX-8's to date. They were unaware of any fitment issues but also said the design has been revised a couple times.
I'd really like to hear some customer feedback before considering this midpipe.

Buy one and give us yours, somebody has to lead the way ... but then RP always swore they never had any problem with their RX-8 cat either everytime somebody reported a failure 
Guess we have another person who can't google their way out of a wet paper bag (j/k)
