Who is going to the Mazda Drivers event at SP this April?

 

Looking forward to it. I went last year and had a ball. Added RB sways and Racing Brake 2 piece rotors and can't wait to see if they make a difference on the track. Glad to hear I won't be the only "8" there.

 

I will be there as an instructor, i hope I will have everything ready

 

Details, please???

Thanks

 

Last year we had 7 Ti Grey RX-8's in attendance!
I thought it might be nice to pit together.
Other colors are welcome of course.

 

i'll be there

Great to hear that you will be going. Any of your buddies showing up?
I can't wait to check out my racing beat pcm reflash. Kind of hard to test it out on the street.

 

I will probably drive my Z, I don't think the 8 will make the trip because I will be broke by the time I get there with gas prices at $3 a gallon. haha you sure you want me as your instructor? We will have some fun rides together. I still remember last year I took a diesel jetta passing everyone, fun times.

 

damn...too early for me. i'll probably be ready in the summer. i'm tryin' to go with Hank! bring my friends too.

 

bump for next weekend! i did the brakes today, full flush and new rear pads, and did the DIY tech inspection too, now to get an alignment...

 

Hey all! It's been like forever since I logged on. I'll be there this coming weekend. I talked to Hank at MSCW's tech night. We both have awnings we're bringing (and I think Mike has one too?) So we can have our own semi-official RX-8 gaggle there. Although for this weekend it looks like the awning will be less a sun shade and more like a rain shelter. Let's all hope for the best!

 

I'll be there in my 8 as well. My friend Alex (Blue WRX) will also be attending. He's also got a awning/tent, so we'll can all rock the tent city. I just finished a full flush of the break fluid and scrubbing/heat cycling my new r-comps (Yokahama ADVAN A048's). If the rain isn't too bad, it's looking to be an INTERESTING track weekend.

 

I just got to WV, gotta wake up in 4 hours to race ahhh...

 

well, back from day 1, i'm one awning less, and my rain driving cherry was popped today

wonder what else holds for tomorrow.... yeesh

 

ZoomZoomH,
What did I miss?
Lots of time tomorrow to work on rain driving.
Back on track at 10:09. See you there

 

I think there were enough RX-8s there to have a spec race. They all ran in one group too, I have a video of 2 or 3 of them running with each other. Now let's hope for weather clearing tomorrow morning. I slowed down by 3 sec per lap when the drizzle came down. It doesnt take much to slow cars down.

 

Here's a couple pics from before it started raining.

 

any vids??

 

Hey guys,

Hope you are all dried out and safe. Not sorry I missed this weekend at SP...I am currently using my shopvac to dry out my house...

Look forward to seeing you at VIR in June - Won't be driving my 8 but I can't miss that weekend.

I will post them tomorrow. I JUST got home from VA, was stuck in the downpour on complete slicks. I had to go 45mph on a major truck route

 

i want to see the videos you have of my instructor drifting through the course muahahaha

btw i'm the guy w/ the gray 8 that had mud all over the wheelwell that you talked to at the end of the day lol

 

oh hi Mike

Who is your instructor?

You should have stayed for the last session, the track was 85% dry. I was lapping in the 2:07 range, which was only about 4 sec slower than my runs at the last session with the slight drizzle.
