Congrats Tyler!
So how about AsNrx8 and wizardrummer? Did yours come in, too?
Doesn't look like I will be rolling in this week because of the tag issues. Trip will slip one week. But I will be around NWA for the rest of August and Labor Day. Just got and installed my clear sidemarkers last night. Excellent!
Enjoy your vacation Tyler. Of course, with an RX-8 that's easy!
Be prepared to have lots of people gathering around the car wherever it goes. One guy almost walked into a closed door at the post office last night because he was looking back at my car. 
Send me a PM when you start working again and I'll plan a time to bring the RX-8 by when the grand kids can come and play.

Well, looks like I'll be one of the next Arkansas owners. I think I finally sold my Yukon today and will be shopping for an 8 starting tomorrow.
I like the guys at NorthPoint, but they don't have what I want in stock though they have several on the way. They are willing to get me something to drive until they can get what I want, so that's cool.
Hey, I once knew a guy who talked about racing his S2000 somewhere around central Arkansas. Does anyone know of a track where we could take our babies for a little spin?

Whoa a bunch of Arkansas people! 
:p
Just thought I'd register and direct you guys to www.arimport.com our page for Arkansas import performance.
If you're wanting to hit a dragstrip some of us are planning to hit Centerville on the 30th of this month, along with a few other activities. Love to see some of you guys show up, RX8's are sweet (Hence the reason I'm on this board
) You can find more information about our big track meet on the www.arimport.com site, or more specifically, this thread - http://pub73.ezboard.com/farimportfr...icID=611.topic
Hope to see some of you on the ARImport forum and at the track. Later!

The strip focuses on HP and speed, the Autocross focuses on handling.

Both of my statements are legal. Drag racing and Autocross are both held at legal sites designated for such activities. Since you seem a bit new to all this, the drag strip, at least around here, is a 1000' strip that clocks your accelleration from a stop until you cross the finish line. The autocross is where you have a course created with orange cones that you must navigate in the quickest amount of time. Both are a blast. You should try them both, although I think the RX-8 will shine more at the autocross events.

I didn't mean to imply that what you mentioned wasn't legal. I was just explaining what I want. I want a place where I can put the 8 through its paces without worrying about getting a ticket.
I'm not worrying about drag with the 8. Autocross is definitely more what I had in mind. Sounds like fun. But what I really want is an oval or road course. It doesn't have to be Leguna Seca, mind you.

Centerville drag strip is about 10 minutes outside of Dardanelle. They have test and tune every saturday night where you pay 10 bucks to run your car all you want. Come on the 30th! :p

And don't worry about your tires, one night out there won't hurt them. And I can assure you they they arn't anywhere near as expensive as mine are:P

Any of you have the black RX-8 that was at JFK and McCain intersection last Friday (8/29/03) around 1pm? It's the first one I've seen on the street instead of at the dealership. Sweet ride.:D

Who has the red that I pulled up next to Saturday in Fayetteville?
I took a great, winding road on the way to see the Razorbacks play this weekend. To avoid freeway construction, I took hwy 65 to Harrison, then 412/45 to Fayetteville. It was great fun driving through the twisties in the Ozark Mountains. Can't wait to do it again!
