Marlon,

Sounds great - keep up the good work!

I'm a bit confused, which day is the Racers Edge tour? That sounds like fun.

Great first day! Perfect weather, good people and the #30 RX-8 gets the pole! I think the encouragement Jarrod & I gave them before qualifying is what did it.

Tomorrow looks to be just as good.

Now the bad news. My wife has taken ill and will not make it tomorrow. However, her loss is your gain. The first person to PM me can have her ticket, no charge. We'll work out the details of getting it to you.

This also means that I will be leaving earlier. I will be at the Pilot, ready to leave at 8:30. See you then!

I'm getting together with some iRacing guys for a night at Columbus Motor Speedway next Saturday, July 10. I've done this several times in the past and it's always a good time watching some old fahoined short track racing.

Any interest?

Been a while since I posted here as I sold my 8 around two years ago. I went to the Autox to race this last weekend. Saw a maroon mazdaspeed 8 come to the event on a trailer. Looked very sweet and looked like you had some good runs. Also talked to one dude with a black 8 before run group one started.

I was in the 07 Impreza STI.

Vroom-vroom .

Hey Guys!

I noticed everyone is still doing well..good to hear. Since I'm on my 2nd engine, does anyone know a good mechanic around Columbus Area? I have almost 66k and want to have my belts, hose, etc check. I want to avoid the dealer because I think they charge $300-$600 dollars for the 60k checkup.

Thanks!!

I've been giving some consideration to doing this myself, as I'm approaching 89,000 also on my 2nd engine. I think I have an alternator whine too - especially at start-up. Probably just run that until it dies, as I've been spending money like a drunken sailor lately.

Brian, I know you're well over 100,000 now. Did you change your belts and hoses?
