sweet!
Is the rx-8 stock? What wheels are those?
I have yet to see a good semi-official time for a lap of the 'ring in an RX-8 with a professional driver, on the "full" course (meaning with the full straight, and a flying start/stop point on the bridge, not the broken-up course for tourist days. Any thoughts about how fast the stock car would be in that scenario?

When my car was bone stock I ran alittle under 10 minutes on the course but then again I sucked at driving and I didn't know the course.
Now my car has upgraded rotors, ceramic pads, 5.1 fluid, Mazdaspeed front strut bar, greddy rear strut bar, carbing rear lower brace, OZ ultraleggra, 245/40-18 Falken Azenis, and Trust Power Extreme Titanium Exhaust.
My best lap this time was a 8:34 on a day that it was about 45 degrees out. But that was not the whole course, next year I'm signed up for a few days of track time on the whole course. But with the whole course open that would only made that lap time +10 to 15 seconds slower.

I didn't actually see there facility they are completely redoing the circuit part so there is alot of construction up there right now. The ring taxi's were not running on either day probably because of the cold and damp weather.
