I hate you guys. I want to save money, but track days are so tempting.

nsnell19 04-20-2008 03:43 PM

I've never been to a Mazda RX8 track day. Could somebody be so kind as to fill me in on what it entails, what it costs, and who can go? I've been to Willow Springs to film our Speed Channel Test Drive episodes, but I haven't actually raced there. I've had my RX8 for 2 years now, and I'd love to get her on the track.

Thanks! Oh, I live in LA too!

boanjangnararmine 04-20-2008 05:02 PM

all the info can be found here:

http://www.speedventures.com

it is an open track day so anyone can sign up. you get (5) 20 or 25 minute sessions on the track. streets of willow usually costs $150 and $20 for helmet rental if needed. wait a week or so to sign up and we will give you a code to get free timing.

shinkuu 04-22-2008 08:59 PM

i'll be there both days but i think ima enjoy cw direction more

skyse3p 04-22-2008 09:02 PM

I havn't try the cw yet...but Sunday is mother day so we hav to go on Sat...

The benefit of living 2400 miles from your Mother, all you have to do is make a phone call. :lol:

Thanks.

Got the PM. Thanks. My concern with the stock tow hook is that the manual (if I recall correctly) specifically warned against towing using the tow hook saying it would damage the bumper and that it should only be used as a tie down. Perhaps it was referring to long distance towing???

Anyone had any problems being pulled out of the dirt/gravel/kitty litter with the stock tow hook?

LionZoo 04-25-2008 02:28 PM

I've used the rear tow hook to tow someone else out of a ditch and there seemed to be no issues.

skyse3p 04-25-2008 06:00 PM

We've got a total of 7 coming with us from Team 5 :)

They just paved they track again. does this mean we are going to have 1/8" stones flying around like last year when they paved the end of the straight?

LionZoo 05-02-2008 12:09 AM

My brakes are dead so I don't think I'm going to make this one.

trustbuddy 05-02-2008 12:57 PM

damn...i already sign up not knowing this. what special deal is there?>???? do i email the speedventure guys that i'm from rx8club.com?
i'm in green group.

krush7 05-02-2008 05:43 PM

just wondering--anybody run the stock bridgestones re050's in summer track days?? how are they vs overheating? i was planning on running them first as a baseline (first track day with the rx8 for me) but i don't know if i should just jump the gun and buy myself a new set of wheels and tires.
