Guys, can I get an initial count for the Grand Am races In Sept. at Mid-Ohio? This doesn't commit you to anything, they would just like to get a rough count to get the planning done for the corral.
For those who have never been to this event, you really need to come! This is the championship race and the battle is very close in the GT class. Marlon puts on a great corral with terrific access to the teams and time permitting, parade laps!
Shout out if you're thinking of going so I can get a count.
Thanks

Jeff, just wanted to update you, we have sold 120 tickets to this event and we have a week left for on line ticket sales! Lot of great prizes and giveaways and we are supporting the Make A Wish Foundation of IN. KY and OH.

Is Clueless
I've actually been seeing less than normal lately. I used to see a decent amount though when I lived on campus.

Hey guys, anyone know of a good alignment shop around Columbus. I'm driving to DC this week and just put coilovers on and am in need of an alignment.
I'd appreciate the help.

lol i drove it home for 6 hours like that when i bought it. It has mind of its own i guess. Yesterday on the way home i turned the key and it was not working at all, and today when i was leaving work it was working as soon as i turned the key.

Im down for getting together, i've been trying to get somebody who knows something about rx8 to check it out before i start modding it. Kinda want to get an idea what needs to be fixed or adjusted before i put money into aftermarket parts

I did that too when i bought it, but i think it's related to recent coolant light issue. When i was driving spirited it was on for few seconds(read up on it) just wondering if it overfloated the bottle and temporary short-circuit the wires. By the way my steering is weird, sometimes it slightly pulls different directions but mostly it pulls to the left like my alignment is terribly off, however when ps is not working it drives straight

another reason to keep the ps off!
yeah, its the coolant overflow. when i did fix it i put an extended hose on it so that it went down below the connectors. theres a writeup around here somewhere
