Finally came to the realization it's better to get those cones out of the way early. 
I think Saturday did favor my car and I should have been faster (I figured 52s were possible after my messy first run, but my camber bolts had other ideas). Sunday's course I think was a wash with the higher speed stuff allowing the RX-8s to get into the meat of their powerband.

yeah, I was on the rev limiter hard in 2nd coming into the finish slalom on Sunday even with the taller tires, if the car wasn't understeering badly exiting the turn that led into this section I probably could have justified going to 3rd gear

... the nice thing this time was that I didn't waste the entire first day chasing a huge setup deficiency. The past couple years at El Toro I had to go for broke on Sunday morning.

A few shots of BS snuck in there, too... [page 12ish]
