I was at a free track day at High Plains Raceway in Colo today and had just gotten off the track when this guy comes up to me and asks me how I liked my RX-8. I told him I love it and he said he raced one at Daytona. I said sure, you're Nick Ham and he said yea. He said he really loved driving the RX-8 even though it really doesn't resemble much of anything to our street cars.

I told him that a lot of us here were disappointed to see that he only ran one race with the Speedsource #70 car. He said he was headed for testing next week with the # 69 car and he will drive that race only. He is also on an ALMS team, running a Porsche in GTC

I told him that there would be a lot of people on this forum following and pulling for him at the Rolex 24 hours and he thought that was great. Just glad to see that he is still involved with the RX-8's.

 

Nick is a great guy...a gentleman and a true racer

Wish him great luck in the race...............Hope to see the Speedsourse guys at the top of the podium this year...

 

Awesome, glad he knows that

 

Damn, it looks like I'm going to have to root for a Porsche this year.

 

Hey, so where can I watch this stuff? Youtube definitely leaves some racing to be desired.

Is there a streaming channel/cable channel/torrent of this stuff?

 

Do you get SpeedTV in Canada? They will most likely broadcast 18 hrs or more of the race (there isn't a lot of racing going on that time of the year to conflict with scheduling). The WC events should also be on SpeedTV.

 

Al, are you driving down again this year?

 

I think I will skip this year. It's an awful long drive with out a long stop. I would however would like to make, at least, one other GA race besides Mid O and R A.
