Anyone see Watkins-Glenn on Speed Channel today.

I saw RX-8's take 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th in the ST class. The 5th spot was car number 70 driven by Haskell / Tremble. They took first last week at Phoenix last week.

The only problem with Speed Channel coverage, was it focused mainly on the faster GS class.

If any of racers above read this forum - congratulations.

 

they took 1st place at Phoenix in April.

Here is the link if you want to check out the Speed Source Team:

Thanks for the link. I stand corrected about their win last week (It was in April). I hope they do well in the future.

 

Is that picture in your avitar #66 on the SpeedSource team and are you connected with it. Again I was impressed with team.

 

Damn good show, Messrs. Haskell and Tremblay!
Got to love that colour! :D

 

no. lol I just took the pic from the speedsource site bc it was a cool avatar at the time. my new avatar is my nephew being put to work.

 

What were the engine mods???

 

Thanks for watching! I'm glad someone is. We are trying as hard as we can to get back in the winners circle at Mid-Ohio.

Hey don't know why it said fordracing19. Oh well it's right now

Good luck, curious on your feelings on how the RX-8 holds up in competition. Pros? Cons?

 

Dunno about you, but from the fact that they have placed quite nicely with brand new cars, I think it competes very well! :D

But here's hoping for some good races for you guys!

 

nice find!

 

Which cars are in our class on the track?

 

Lexus IS300, BMW 330, Acura RSX Type-S, Dodge Neon SRT-4,BMW Z-4, Mini Cooper S
The RX-8's handle very on track and we have the best brakes of everyone. We are currently trying to find just a touch more horsepower- the BMW's and Lexus may have the upper hand in that deparment right now.
Mid-Ohio is a bit more handling than horsepower, so we should do weel their.

Looks like everyone in the hunt for HP in the 8. Good luck, you guys got a bunch of fans here rooting for you.

 

How come theres no 350Z's or G35's in that class? Are they that much faster than us?

 

Dear David:

Currently what engine management do you use?

We are planning to race an RX8 here in Puerto Rico, and need some good advice from the pros.

Thanks,

Everett

 

We use a MoTec M800 for engine management. Works perfect. No problems.

Dave

 

so when are you going to post the maps??? I'm sure the forum members would greatly appreciate it!

 

Dave,

Did you completely remove the factory ECU and replace it with the M800?

 

Yes

 

Hi Dave,

So does the original dash etc. work in the cars? is most of the standard loom removed and replaced with the M800 loom (for the engine etc.).?

What sort of power are you making out of the engine now with a tune?, I'm assuming it is a modified exhaust?

Be interested to know - thanks.
