Co-drive for SD Tour?

Results are a little "off", as we ran second group on a wet/drying course...no need to say who had the best conditions on their third run

Right now, we are waiting on some shocks, so it may or may not be ready for SD...in which case, I'll be back to where this thread started, looking for a co-drive.

I'm smart enough not to go bragging about local PAX times and such nonsense

This will likely be the vey first event in the car since switching it back to Stock (assuming I get it done it time), coupled with being in Jason's back yard I have no illusions of grandeur

edit: Koni just notified me the shocks should be shipping out tomorrow, one step closer

And my local SCCA region is extremely small. Top 10 in PAX there means you're mid pack at best nationally. My other SCCA region is the WDCR and I've only once finished in the top 50 in PAX there. Top 10 in PAX in that region and you're rubbing shoulders with the likes of Brian Garfield, Ian Baker, Sam Strano, Jason Burns, Lee Piccione, etc.
No ego here Mark.

I'm just hedging my bets...the XP Miata is currently a big question mark, for SD, because it has no shocks and we're not sure if we'll have them back and have the car anywhere near ready enough to go to make the tow to SD worthwhile...plus, I've always wanted to drive a RX8 with the Team set up, to see how different it is, or isn't, relative to mine.

I hear you. From my selfish perspective, if I had the choice between a RX8 with a "guesstimated" set up and a 325rwhp Miata with same...

hey Mike,
if you need someone to get your car to the SD Tour, in exchange for, I dunno, a co-drive? Lemme know
I was gonna offer that on sccaforums, but I thought I'd start here first
I just hope your car doesn't have traction control, cuz I seem to forget to turn it off at National events
Otherwise, if Mike doesn't want your seat, I'd be happy to heat up your tires Mark![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)

The idea is that I'm going to be driving the XP car at SD and if my car end's up going to the event, Rob Luis has already volunteered to tow it down there and then share the ride Sorry, dude, I'd love to share a car with you, it would be fun.
I might have a couple of other ideas for you, if you haven't already been contacted by RX8 drivers on this board, as a result of you post.

Looks like BS has comfortably made a class for the SD Tour: SD Tour Entry List
Best of luck to all who plan on competing. May dry weather be with you...

well she's pretty much back together in Stock trim except for the shocks and rear exhaust, cranked up immediately and ran fine so that's a good sign
I was expecting the shocks on Thursday, then nothing Friday either. Guess I'll have to call up Monday and see how big of a dump the man in brown took on me
I expect the new rear exhaust to be completed by next weekend
Up to 8 entries in BS now too

In case anyone is looking for a place to store the car between SD Tour and El Toro ProSolo, here is the detail: http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/282632.aspx.
Looking for a ride from El Toro to Orange County Airport for two people (my co-driver & I), after finishing Tour and driving the car to El Toro to park. Please PM me if you have two empty seats.
