On any given weekend, there are more Mazdas on the road-race tracks of America than any other brand of vehicle.
Haha, actually there were 12 Mazdas in my running group. (20 total in 1 group)
3 FCs, 3 RX-8s, 3 Miatas, 2 Mazda 6s and 1 FD lol

Well, despite the sunroof giving me 1 inch less of headroom making me kinda have to slouch a bit to drive, but yeah, this gives me a place to mount the camera so I can get a glimpse of my mistakes.
Videos and track pics to come later.
Man, I feel dumb, and I feel like I'm about to get flamed lol, posting this might not be a good idea.
Gee... I NEED to work on my shifting indeed

Nice. And don't worry, driving my Mx6 I've got a video of me doing the fastest 180 of my life because I tapped the brakes mid transfer between two corners. Very stupid mistake looking back at it, haha. But you get better, especially when you're actually getting out there. ![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Keep it up, there's tons of fun to be had. I can't wait to get my Rx8 out for some events myself.

You probably aren't. Doing the track day allowed you to push the engine harder for a longer amount of time, ultimately allowing you to burn off the carbon build up in the engine. That's most likely why it's smoother now, which is a good thing.

Very jealous Dezau! That track is on my bucket list. It is an expensive track from what I have seen and quite a drive for me but I will drive it one day.
Oh and my car never drives better than the week following a track weekend
