Zoom-Zoom BOOM!
Great to have you out today Chris, sorry for just up and bolting as I did, I wanted to see your afternoon runs but was under pressure from the wife to hurry up and get back! I did see the times were posted on the CDC forum already and that you improved on every run, that's what you want to see! Hope to see you next event, and ill bring the tools to reseat your power plant frame and bleed your clutch slave cylinder.

Smallbore is for cars with 1.6 liters and under, we don't fit in though since by SAE convention, we are reciprocating engine equivalent to a 2.6 liter 4-cylinder. I think they allow 12A equipped first-gen rx7s but only because they're so weak!
It's my understanding they had the smallbore series to keep the monstrous cobras from mopping the floor with everyone else. Speaking of which, I'm surprised there weren't any out that day usually there are 3 or 4 of them.

Welcome Denim, glad to see some RX love out there, only person who ever acknowledges me on the road is Adam!
Oh and if you see a Red Series I with a utility trailer full of stuff, that'd be me!

This is how mine stands at the moment before the exhaust and springs are installed.

Generally we run anyway, Frederick doesn't offer a rain date. slippery conditions separate the good from the great 
I'm only in the frederick area for autocross, I live just south of bel air and commute to Catonsville, so that's where I could be spotted.
I saw on the roster we have three rx8s signed up for tomorrow I'm so used to being the only one! Looking forward to this one as I haven't been in awhile, look forward to seeing some of you there.

Hey everyone.
In anticipation for some life altering events, I'm selling my 2004 MT GT. As the odometer will attest, I do not get to drive the car as often as I would like. I live too close to work to get to warm it up. I basically drive it enough to keep it healthy and make sure it can still redline.
Here's the link to the FS thread.
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8s-sale-w...tained-246186/
The car is tight as a drum, and apart from the loud as hell stereo, it's a blank canvas and completely stock.
I'm only asking $7,750 because carmax offered that much to me. If you know anyone who's interested then please let me know. I would rather an enthusiast get the car than some 16 year old noobie.

But if its two kids or less you should be fine, I make do with the 8 as the family runabout.
Unless you mean you're going to prison or maybe coming out of the closet and buying a hummer....hmmm, life altering events is pretty vague

Another autocross on Sunday the 16th in Winchester, it's out near summit point so I may swing by for some fast karting afterward. I'll be swapping cars with my buddy Alex, he's got an FR-S with a smattering of basic bolt ons and a set of direzza z2 under it. Can't wait!

Just signed up for this weekend's event. Let's hope I can make it down there without getting sidetracked by the short circuiting Audi again!

Ill be at Winchester near there on Sunday for autocross, but I'm trying to get in on the hyperfest karting enduro Saturday night, if I can secure a place on a team for that than ill be at hyperfest throughout the day on Saturday as well. I've got a bunch of friends fielding a LeMons team that day! It'll be awesome, I hope my karting plans pan out and make it worth the trip.

Either way there are plenty of capital driving club events left this year, I'm sure you could make at least one, that I think is the best place to cut your teeth autocrossing, you can ride along a lot with others and its more fun and less srsbznz
Let me know if you'd like details or anything, I check this site every day or so.

Come to the Autocrossers Inc. event in Waldorf on Saturday the 29th, there's plenty of slots left and their courses are very high speed, it'd be something of a baptism by fire but man it'll be a blast too. It's 65$ for 8 runs 4 morning and 4 afternoon. a very good time, I'd be happy to introduce you to the friends I've made going there and you'll be very welcome.

Sure, open for details. Seems a shame to have such a great handling platform now, and not make the most of it.Zoom Zoomz!
