the Hampton Inn, in Oxford. 32v said that is where they are staying, so I booked a room there, to make things easy. Not a bad rate at all.

Should we caravan over there Friday afternoon? What time do you guys want to leave?

SilverEIGHT

Are we meeting at Charlies first for a tuner sesseion? Guess we should be invited before we do something like that though. Since he will not be there especially.

L8APEX

he said we could come over the week before, but not right before we actually go to the event. Since he will be in Daytona. obviously if we do something, we need to schedule with him.

L8APEX

has he responded to the date change?

21 days and counting...

sorry guys.....i've been really busy for the past month and this thread has b/c very long. I'm still in......just let me know what i need to do (who to send the $ to etc.).

L8APEX

cool, good to know you are still in.

I had you confused with another guy in Alabama that had that avatar last year. He was a 7 owner, not an 8'er. Can't think of his SN now.

I assume you sent your check to Stop&TurnFreak. Other than that we plan on setting up a chat session to get any questions answered before hand. 32VCobra suggested a chatroom we could meet in. We just need to determine a good time for everyone (a little closer to the date). Let me know the best way to send y7ou a message to invite you to the chat.
Other than that, just show up and be respectful of all the participants and instructors.

misterwilson007

I was not aware of the check situtation. Is his address somewhere in this thread??

misterwilson007

ok....the situtation has been resolved.....thanks TA and STF. i look forward to meeting everyone on the 28th!!

I might just go hang out with you guys at Charlies and then meet up with you again at the track if it isn't too far to drive. I wouldn't mind watching if that is possible.

Stop&TurnFreak

It is possible.

He keeps the RPM above 6K.

Hi SilverEight - with all due respect...

Edit - oh yeah, use the search function But it is a classic video and belongs in any self respecting RX8 track ho's collection right alongside the best of trackaddict videos.

SilverEIGHT

, Sorry! May be boring to you guys but it is very educational to me as a virgin-track-ho. Sorry it's a repost!

Phlash

Oh just ignore TA...I think it's cool that you are as fired up as you are and want to get as much info as you can......you go boy!

L8APEX

yeah, i gotta work ont his heel-toe thing, to much going on on the street, I keep trying, but my footwork really needs improvement. feel like i am in some sort of dance class.

SilverEIGHT

I finally started getting used to my race shoes and now I'm having trouble with my street shoes! I think I will just start wearing my race shoes to work!

a lot of people use the blade method instead of the heel toe. just get a little wider gas pedal and you can do it much easier

My four ebay Potenzas came in yesterday and they are awesome. I can still see evidence of the little nipple thingies on the tread. They have never been pushed around a curve because there is no sign what so ever of being pushed. Dang good purchase. Me happy!

L8APEX

how much did you steal them for?
