NorCal track people, where are you?

So, I went to my 2nd trackday this last weekend with NASA and there were no RX-8s to be seen. I only saw one other RX-8 on my first track day back in September and he was not a member of RX8Club.

Do you guys run with different organizations? Where are you?

I go with TEAM Racing, Golden Gate Lotus Club, Hooked On Driving and Speedventures. I've been doing track days for ~7 years and can't remember seeing more than one or two RX8s at any one event. HPDEs just aren't popular with the RX8 crowd.

Once I get a few more track days next year with NASA, I'll look into these other organizations. With the lack of response, you are very right that it's not popular.

Every time I go, I can't believe how fast the RX-8 actually is on a racetrack.

In case you or anyone else is interested, my next event will be at Buttonwillow on Dec 19.

barotary.com used to do track days all the time, but it died off as it seems there aren't enough rotary track people around anymore.
