I'll be attending Thunderhill 5 mile with SpeedSF this Friday 06/11. Should be an exciting day. Hope to see other rotary owners out there and feel free to come strike up a conversation

Almost an understatement to say that Thunderhill was a blast!

First time driving the 5 mile and with the connection, it's a HUGE track. Luckily there weren't many drivers signed up for the event so there was a ton of seat time. Full hour 'open' heat from 4pm-5pm, I drove about 50 min before my concentration started to waiver and decided it was time to call it (reminded me of my karting days as a young man when I'd do 'enduro' events). Driving at limit for extended periods of time is incredibly demanding. Went out with a full tank of gas, came in with 1/2. Rx8 ran like a champ imo. Thirsty little engine.

Bonus that one of my old friends is now a pro-am racer and instructor for the club and was kind enough to spend some time with me doing a bit of lead / follow. His MR-S absolutely rips (2100lb curb, 220whp) and he literally walked right past me. But I easily picked up a few seconds and definitely cleaned up my line.

I'm planning to go back out on either 06/19, 06/20 or 06/26. No track or club preference. Let me know guys, I was the only rotary out there.







ps- pro pic.s to come

For those interested in track days, I'll be heading back out. Buttonwillow 06/26 with SpeedSF.

Sorry MSv2, hopefully I can attend the next one. Have a great meet!

Your not the only one who won’t make it. 🤞, and I can get everything done before Saturday(clutch, flywheel, & hydraulics), but it’s looking more and more like I won’t unfortunately.
