C.A.R.T doesn't require an SA rating. neither does F.C.S.C.C. You may want to spring for one with a SNELL rating though if you plan to get into HPDEs and track days. I plan to once my STX build is done.I'm pretty sure Lime Rock requires it.
The tinted visor might not be ideal either but I doubt it will matter. I did the autox with my visor up.
This is the sticker I show them in my helmet its never been a problem.

I've also gone to a few of these over the past few years (must have been the other rx8). John Williamson is the helmet guy, usually sells them for $99. CartCt is a pretty good group, very laid back as far as autox cross (less strict than fcscc). Generally there is a good variety of cars, like godesshunter said, miatas, hondas, minis, wrx's, usually a few Z cars, mustangs and corvette's and couple of older cars too. generally fun times.

Yeah thats there for insurance hooplah I'm sure. I bring my wife with me and a friend. They make them sign is as "crew" and have to sign the waver at the entrance. I think they have that rule in because they dont want your whole group of friends driving up with you and hanging out.

Yeah $2 to buy a head sock in the morning you keep. Then just grab a helmet right befor your run and return it to the table when your run is over.

Sounds like you may be in for a new cat. Chances are a test pipe will be cheaper if it needs to be replaced. Don't ignore it though, you can do more damage than you bargain for.

Hi - I'm in New Haven, and know a lot about this car. Be happy to give advice or possibly lend a hand. Most of my tools are in another state, but I have my basic stuff and my brain, that's all you usually need....
Evap codes, if I'm thinking of the right one, are usually just a leaky gas cap, nothing to do with emissions/exhaust.
Feel free to PM me about whatever... I'm in New Haven, VR car with gold wheels, can't miss it...

I was getting a check engine code of p0420 throughout the summer, it would come on and go away on it's own within a day or two. No noticable problems with it driving at all, car idled fine. Take it out the first day out of winter storage and it threw a p0139 I think it was. Slow response to bank one or something close to that, checked on here and it could mean several things just like the p0420 could mean several things. I then realized Mazda offers 70k miles or 8 year warranty on the cat system. You bring it in and they check it, if your cat is bad they replace it ay 0 cost to you, If the cat is fine then it's $105 charge. They check your VIN for exaclty when your car was purchased off the lot originally. For me it ended March 31st 2012 which was the 8 year mark and was car was under 70k. So what I'm saying is, if you think your cat is bad and you have a 2004 model now is the time to have it checked at a dealership because 2012 is the last year for the Mazda warranty for the RX8. Good luck!
