They kicked butt last year too. I think I was just as surprised as you I don't think they're factory. Just like the RX-8s in the Grand Am Rolex series are using the 20b engines.

Fun to watch!

namasan, haha doh! I just realized you already knew what I posted...

Hopefully more rx8 members will start participating in more RPMNW events. Unfortunately the majority of time the info is only posted on 7club so many over here never know about it.
