We sure got lucky in Wendover, by far the most mild weather I can remember at any Prosolo there. I was not going to go but the money I won in Packwood made it an easy choice, glad I did, it was by far the BEST Prosolo course I have run this year. It had a great mix of speed and some very technical sections, lots of people were blowing the finish. TeamRX8 ruled over the boosted cars in STU and I got to have my way with the rest of BS. We also know not to pull off your Racing Beat exhaust and run strait pipe without a turn down as MP5 melted the plastic trim on his rear bumper.

I also learned that if your ABS goes out in an autocross just turn off your car for a minute and the computer will reset itself. My ABS is now working fine.

Thanks Jason for letting Brian drive your car when mine broke. That was very gracious of you.

 

Yeah, but at least it sounded cool.

Isley was on fire this weekend. The rest of us couldn't even touch his first 2 times from Saturday morning. We had a good battle for 2nd place Sunday morning. Unfortunately Brandon had ABS problems and wasn't able to improve.

Oh yeah, we also found out an 04 GT is carrying about 75lbs more than an 05 base model.

 

Sounded so good I could not hear my own car.

Time to ditch the leather clad open top 8 for a real race car.

 

You might be right... it's actually more like 95lbs. I did the math wrong. The actual difference was 85 and with just the RB pipe my exhaust was approx 10lbs less than yours.

 

Did it extend past the valance in the rear? By how far? I run one at sites that don't have sound restrictions and it extends past the opening by a couple inches.

Nah. We just removed the muffler and left the connecting pipe in place, so it exits just past the rear axles. Here's a pic: https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...chmentid=51715

We figured it might cause heat problems. No big deal, some of the clips for an exhaust surround melted causing it to fall off.

 

Ahhh. The total weight loss programm(e).

 

that would be nothing on the end of the cat pipe, or at most just a turndown ...

Uuuloser's car was looking pretty dang strong at Wendover

 

Maybe he got some extra whoopass from these guys who were in a hangar onsite:

Seriously, great job to Mark & Jason on your finishes. And, neither of you went for the Challenges....
