Looks like the RX8's have finished well on day one. Top three places...hope they can hold on through day two

 

Well, the bag head laughed...and perhaps even SCOFFED at buckley-fan when he said that Buckley was going to DOMINATE this year, but who's laughing now, boy? Huh? Looks like Buckley took everyone out to the 'shed and put a good whoopin' on 'em!

GO BUCKLEY!

nobody's scoffing, we're just waiting to see if the level of competition becomes what it was last year or not ... a win's a win though, congrat's Aaron.

 

If the "level of competition" is down it's probably because they're all scared of Buckley!

Buckley didn't do so hot on street tires, so STU is probably a good place to hide from him.

is that the best you've got?

 

Good job giving those Z boys the smack down with all the bunk they were talking after the tour.

 

Ditto.

Nice driving 1-2 in the same car. :D

 

Aaron drove well all weekend. Chris & Andy were fighting the "ice mode"
on their 350Z. Chris mumbled something about visiting a Mazda dealer
this week...

I was fighting a bad case of "Cranial-Rectal Inversion" on the left side. I
should probably work on that...

 

dang edj, you were so far down I missed your name

 

This after Chris saying in Topeka last year that the "ice mode" was purely a figment of Andy's driving style.

Just teasing, Chris .

 

that's always been an issue with the Z ...

 

I had a blast at the Pro! I've gotta make another one this year.

FYI Aaron, I've got some touch up paint on the way for the rear bumper so I expect the "clean car trophy" next time I see ya.

Watching the challenge is truely humbling. I've got alot to learn.

 

Great event. The region did a great job managing things. The community was unbelievable...very hospitable and supportive.

The course was decent, given the lot. Certainly the shortest straight I've seen at a Pro...barely time to shift to 2nd before peeling off. I'd have given up some course length to avoid the tight turnarounds, but it was a good test...a couple places that required some ***** and others that required lots of patience.

Glad that my car got national win #2, but I may have to get a new co-driver whom I can beat

Asher is indeed an early favorite for show-and-shine soloist of the year...I thought he was going to break down when he got a cone mark on the car Sunday morning

Bryan

 

LOL, we all know you're his biggest FAN

 

Not true...I have confirmed the identity of his biggest fan, but I am not at liberty to divulge. All I can reveal is that he is an autocrosser, but not nearly cool enough to drive an RX-8.

 

How fast can you go in 1st gear?

 

Around 40mph at redline, I just tried it on my way to work.

 

Keep in mind the V710 will change your gearing abour 4%, so it would be more like 38mph.

 

38mph is not "around 40mph"? Sheesh.

I realize in the context of this thread the asker was likely concerned with autox speeds, and possibly was even wondering about the speed on 245/35 v710s, but come on dude.

 

With the last comment regarding 1st gear from Aaron's reply I'm surprised he did not have to find another car ;-) Nice driving though from both driver's...


"The course was decent, given the lot. Certainly the shortest straight I've seen at a Pro...barely time to shift to 2nd before peeling off".

Holding 1st gear through the corner sounds like it could possibly help?

 

Do not be fooled by imposters! buckley-fan may need a doctor, but buckley-fan is certainly not a doctor!

It was nice of the SCCA to name the class after Buckley. Buckley-Stock competitors need to keep that in mind. They are racing the KING, BABY! Holelottashakingoinon!!!

I think you need to SEE a doctor.

 

I don't believe there was any bunk talked after the tour, but what would you know, you were 1800 miles away....

 

Damn, I guess I gotta start spending time over here seeing what smack you guys are talking behind my back! :P

 

I thought you'd be used to getting an RX-8 smack by now ...
