You know the Rx8 guys have yet to acknowledge our presence here on this thread. They're either shy, snobs (cuz we don't yet own Rx8s), or scared (cuz our FD3Ses would wipe the floor with their Rx8s in both straight and curved street races) LOL

that's not true. Several have asked to be included in the champs luncheons on sunday and 1 asked to be included in the bloomington run. We just have the time brother, DINKS forever lol.



The Revolution has had many hits and some registrations from this site. The 8 owners are gonna love the road course!

We are trying so hard to get the RX8 designer from japan to come to the show. He signed my copy of the rx8 book and my copy of the rx8 dealership poster. Actually, the president of Mazda japan, the president of Mazda Amercia, the rx8 designer, the rx8 roll out manager, the rx8 motorsports vice pres, and the last remaining memeber of the rotary motor design team all signed my rx8 book

We shall see.... we spoke to mazda last week about him. If he can come to Seven Stock he can come to the Revo I bet a few 8 owners would like to have their vin plate signed by the cars designer...now that is cool.

At least we have secured an rx8 test vehicle for hot laps at the track. I hope it doesnt fall through like the 787 did last year.

I'll gladly volunteer as your hotlap vehicle driver to take Revo participants out for rides at either Putnam Park or IRP; I have plenty of experience at both tracks

Next gathering will be @ Fast Times Go-Karting Center. It's located in Indy's north side. More details to follow. We'll shoot for a time in mid-December during the holidays. Great meeting Red_Rx8 @ Champp's lunch yesterday. Hope to meet more Rx8 owners.

I have yet to make it to a fast times event ...the more I think about it, the more i think learning to pick a line there in a cart is easier than picking a line at putnam in the 7 lol

So I have to make it to the next one.



Hopefully Red_RX8 now has rotary racing fever :D
Nice meeting ya man!!!!

SleepR1,

Thanks for the info. I had already emailed keynote22. But i didn't know about the web site. I would assume if RX-8's are welcome, you will be getting a major influx of new members ???

As of today, the only slots available this weekend, for open racing @ Fastimes is Friday, Dec 19--after 9 pm; Saturday, Dec 20--after 8 pm; and Sunday, Dec 21--afer 3 pm.

If we want to reserve these times for Rx7/Rx8 owners, it costs $800 for a maximum of 10 racers to race for 2 hours total, for whichever time/day slot we pick

IMO, it will be:
a) difficult to get 10 people to commit to any of these dates because of the holiday schedules
b) even more difficult to find 10 people willing to pay $80/head to race for two hours.

Because the openings are so unpredictable during December, we'll need to do last-minute planning to see who's in, and what slots are open for the folks who want to race (any group can book an event at any time, and so the slots I listed above may not exist this weekend).

Because we'll be doing last minute planning, I will limit this to the local Rx7/Rx8 owners who can attend at a moment's notice.

When we decide on a date/time, I'll post it on this board, so folks who just want to meet/greet can do so without having to race.

FYI, Fastimes Indoor Karting Center phone number is 317-566-0066. Street address is 3455 Harper Rd, Indianapolis IN

Hello!

Just bought my RX-8 on Saturday. Unfortunately, two hours after I got it home it started snowing! Ordered some Dunlop Winter Sport M3s today. Hopefully they will be in by this weekend. It is painful not being able to drive it.

Keynote22, you mentioned you're in a club that goes to Putnam every other week or so? How do I sign up for that?! I'm also into sportbikes and have taken my Suzuki GSX-R1000 to a few track days at Putnam. I've always wanted to take a car out there. Now I have a car worthy of doing it!

I have a few things going on Saturday, but I can make the Friday night event or the Sunday afternoon event.

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Not sure what happened, but for some reason I was logged in as ac89???? Weird, anyway, I'm the one who made the previous post, not ac89. That's kinda scary how that happened.
