I shift into fourth just just before I exit the complex and into fifth a little before start/finish - but keep in mind that I run the lower 4.77 gears from the '09 model. Also the line through one and two can make a difference - starting high and going low has higher speeds but during a race a slightly lower speed all the way around the bottom can be quicker in a lower powered car like the RX-8. During a race without passengers I'll see more like high 130s and on a rare occasion low 140s if I catch a draft and my motor is feeling happy. The speed exiting 1 and 2 is all out getting on the gas as soon as possible before the complex and building speed early... and finding a good draft if possible! I much prefer buttonwillow in an RX-8. AAA Speedway is a power track and our cars are obviously more about handling and braking.

Magnus: I had the pleasure of taking a few laps with you in the afternoon sessions and I wanted to just thank you again for the great experience. I was the really tall guy that got in your car and said, "I own an RX-8 so just let it rip!"
and that you did...
And yea, I agree: that Corvette owner in front of us was TERRIBLE!

I posted a thread with a url to a ton of Mazfest pics, but only two people commented. I guess everyone else must hate me....

'laze: are you talkin' about my front lip or my trunk spoiler lip?? both were painted right before the WHiV meet...
n' yeah, i kinda thought the sticker would be a nice touch considering i don't have any engine mods right now other than a revi intake. lol. I was kinda thinkin' about starting a GB on that sticker tho n' slang them to the 2nd (& 3rd n' 4th) motor club. I was debating about doing it all over for someone on their 3rd motor n' have multiple lines that will read like this above my headlight
