Wanna see an RX8 turbo kit? How about factory race cars?

The Rotary Revolution is gauging interest for our sponsors that you might actually want to see an 8 with a turbo installed? How about we race it around a bit so you can see what it will do?

What do ya say? Wanna see it?

How about an exhibition race staring the rx8 factory race vehicles?

Help us help you by registering early....these sponsors want to see more 8's registered.

What areas are you talking about. Want to sponsor an RX-8 turbo? You can start with my car... I would love a turbo. I have been wanting more power from my car from day one. Please give us more details.

A prospective Rotary Revolution sponsor is debating about bringing his turbo equipped rx8 to the show......

This would be especially nice as you would get to see it compared first hand against stock rx8s...none of this paper dyno figures and hp claims you normally see manufacturers advertise. Real world first hand experience here my friends!

We woud like the Revolution to be the formal unveiling for the first production ready rx8 turbo kit...but the big question is, how many rx8s are going to come to see it? How many want to see it? More importantly, if it pushes a daily driver to a 10 second 1/4 how many want to buy it lol

Register for the event so I can tell him we now have "x" # of rx8 owners reistered to see your kit in action.....

I would love to see this but as I remember it this event is in Indiana? I love in Washington state. Are they thinking of coming out here as well? There are many of us enthusiasts out here in the wild West too.

Hey, for the road course a helmet is required right? The website says nothing about wearing a helmet. I'm guessing the rules of the IRP will be what we'd have to adhere to?

Yes, you are correct that the IRP track rules carry over for our event. And yes, you will need a helmet for the road course and for drag racing. I'll have to double-check the items to see if you need it for the autocross, but plan on bringing a helmet.

Also, a great recommendation we received from SleepR1 is to get yourself a neckbrace for racing on the road course. I'm sure he has know's places to pick one up, they aren't very expensive.

See you and your RX-8 this April.

I would love to see the kit (albeit im not an owner).
But dont say anything about 10 seccond 1/4 miles please.
You would need to see at least 400rwhp to run 10s. And you are going to break lots and lots of things.
