I'm sure it won't be a problem for you to show up and watch. It would be great to meet another 8 owner. Here is a link w/ the info:

The class was GREAT! We had about 12 runs & I let the instructor (we had the same one the whole time & was also a Mazda fan) drive 3 times to see what kind of times the car could get (we were in a competition w/ the S2k & Mini). I learned a lot. I can't believe how well this car does in the slalom. I just kept pushing it faster and it never got out of control (in the slalom that is). There were some mini guys (cooper, not “vertically challenged”) that were talking trash to me in a restaurant during the event on the 21st, but their best run was over 1.5 seconds behind me. The course had a bunch of different types of maneuvers (Chicago box, slalom, etc.) to get us novices used to seeing some of them. I would definitely recommend it for everyone and I plan on going again next time.

Hey Guys,

I'm from Jersey and made my first visit to Texas this past weekend to attend the Air Force recruit graduation at Lackland AFB. I spotted only one RX8 in my three full days in San Antonio. On Friday evening (23 April) at about 6pm heading east on 90 right before the Ball Park exit I spotted a yellow 8. Was that anyone on the forum?

Yeah, you don't see a whole lot of them here (unfortunately). I don't know anybody in my group that has a yellow one.

I saw 2 blue 8's last night around 1604 & 35. One was on 35 & the other was @ the forum. If you are on here, you should definitely check out the cruise night @ the forum (one of you were in the forum anyway...). Also check out the yahoo group listed in my sig...

Welcome! You should all come out for the autox on Sunday. Check out www.conehunter.com for more info. Don't forget about the Alamo Area RX Club's Yahoo group for info about events in San Antonio...

It's across from a Shell and car-wash - right where Westover Hills meets Culebra.

I probably won't be able to attend any kind of meets or autoX for this month - it's still chaos right now. Living in a hotel is really getting to me. Can anyone recommend a good PDR (paintless dent removal) shop in the area? Thanks.

Sorry about that. They were calling for flooding, so I didn't go. We have a couple events this weekend, but I'm not going to be able to attend most. The first is tonight (SAR), the next is a Wimberly run on Sunday. Check out the Calendar in the yahoo group for info on all the events. I asked if anyone was going to the Wimberly run & I didn't get any replies back. I may or may not go on the Wimberly run since my wife is leaving for 4 weeks next week, but I posted the instructions on the Yahoo group.

One more thing, the activities guy in the vette club you saw is a friend of mine (pewter C5). You should have stopped & said hi. Oh well. Also, if you don't see anyone, stick around for a little while. Other people may have done the same...

Sorry... We were there on Sunday though.

You should definitely come out to the autox events. There's a novice school event next month you should sign up for. Check out www.conehunter.com for info.
