video: tracked the RX-8 at Rockingham
I've tracked there several times and took the RX-8 out for the first time. It is about 3 seconds off the pace of my former modded FD, but it was impressive given has over a 100 hp less than the FD. The handling is very friendly. Easy to drive smoothly and consistently. A few more sessions in this car and I'll move to some stickier rubber.
My fastest lap in the RX-8:

Part of a session "chasing" a modded VW R32 with an intake, exhaust, & coilovers. (another great car):

Rockingham is tough on tires. My passenger side front tire:

Nice videos! I've only been there once but may be going back with NASA this year. Kind of a neat track with the NASCAR banking.
Rockingham is where I bent one of my wheels. I ran over the end of one of the gators coming into the infield.

Thanks. This was the first time I'd run there since the gators were laid so I was pretty tidy for the most part. When I did get on the gators I lost time, but I did not try 'em all out. I should be back there in Sept.
