not too many down that way, at least not that we have heard of.

but since you are part of Georgia, you ought to stop by the Georgia RX-8 Club Forum, and say hi.

asn as Dano mentioned, a bunch of us trackies will be down near Savannah in a couple weeks to get our fix. if you have time, you should drop by.

Yea, stop by Roebling Road Raceway in Savannah and join us for a little fun. You can even take your car on the track for Touring laps at lunch time if you like.

I guess Vidalia counts...

...as being "close" to Brunswick (sort of). Got my 8 (06 Red MT w/perf package) in Savannah earlier this year while they were practically giving them away. VERY happy with it so far.

Guage, what is your experience with the Baxley dealership (if any)? I'll need to get my 8 looked at from time to time, and I dread driving 2 hours each way to Savannay to do it. Baxley is just half an our away.

Might drop by Robeling just for fun. I'd really like to push this bsby to her limit at least once, but I have no illusions of being a race car pilot.

Stay circular,

d_of_e.

I have kinfolk in Vidalia. Used to drag race there between Vidalia and Lions at a sanctioned track in the early 70's.

Drag racing, Hmmm?

I can't think of where they would have done that (in Vidalia), even back more than 30 years ago. Nothing like a drag strip around here now.

Maybe they used the airport runway? Pretty big for a small town airport. Has at least a mile of runway. Build for military use, I heard. They host a real nice Air Show just about every year at the Onion Festival.

Still humming along,

I'm in Albany, not SE, but SW. You're right, not a whole lot of folks around here. I've seen a few and invited them to our get togethers and track days, but they never show.

I wouldn't bother with the Baxley dealership unless you're just going there for an oil change. It seems that the further south you go in GA, the less people are interested in rotaries, mechanics included.
