as seen on RX-8Club

sorry about that, i forgot to update the date, that was from April the 9th. (can you tell i copy and past?)

YES THE MEET IS THIS SATURDAY MAY 14TH 9:00 A.M.

i figure we will pick the drive like we alsways do. last minute! see what everyone is in the mood for. weather is supposed to be great from now till then, so i dont htink we are going to have to worry about snow or anything stupid like that. i went to big bear yesterday, and not one drop of water or snow was there. i am sure this will be the case on all roads.
anyways, talk toyou all later.

The San Bernardino meets are "always" on the 2nd Saturday of the month.

It's too bad the drags are the same day..........

Do yourself a favor, skip the drags and check out the autocross at California Speedway on May 29th (that's the Sunday before Memorial Day). $40 for non-members. More info here: www.solo2.com

re: autocross May 29. I'm supposed to work, but I might be able to get the day off. I'll be there on Saturday until noon, but Saturday's practice is already full.


Sundays are championships, and there are good things and bad things about this.
Good news: there's room for everyone, they don't restrict entries, and it's cheaper than a practice day.
Bad news: there's room for everyone because you get less track time, and that's why it's cheaper than a practice day.


They won't let you in if your car leaks or is missing any lugnuts. Two people can register for the same car if you've got a buddy who's nice enough to let you share. Each driver pays full price and gets the same amount of time as everyone else, there's no penalty for two-driver cars. I'd still try and fix your leaks ASAP though...


As always, autocrosses are free to spectate. Stop by and say "hi" on Saturday while I'm around.

I feel like an *** nah but my car gave me a little trouble for the first time I spent most of the mourning trying to find out what the noise is, it sounds like my rear brakes but not a wear sensor noise, a weird clunking when I am not pushing the brakes or the gas, I will check it out a little more later and sorry about you car riccio, well maybe I will make the next one

personally i think the front bumper is just fine. nothing some sanding and a repaint wont fix. the urithane went back into shape after a few minutes of just sitting there.
anyways, also very sorry to see that happen. but i guess the bright side is it could have always been worse.
