What are you talking about? Thats not any worse than what most people do to their cars. I just happen to admit to it. BTW I have the car for sale, but now Im kind of really reconsidering selling it, I had way to much fun with it in the twisties.
BTW it was such a tight course intentionally. It was held in the local shopping mall parking lot on a Sunday, so there were a LOT of spectators and they wanted to keep the speeds down for that reason. And I did get lost in the cones on my first run, Hahah.
The course was very well suited for the RX-8. My car is completly STOCK and I was only 1.5-2 seconds off of the fastest time of the day which was laid down my a older Datsun 240Z that was a full race car. No windows, full cage, full suspension, and slicks.
