I wasn't going as fast as I could have that day, but it was a fun course. I lost a ton of time on that 180 with my setup and never did figure out what was the best way to do that. Well I hope to see you again in the DMVR region next year. Need some more people in SM2 so we can have more fun like our region's SM group.

As long as streets are ice free and its above 20 degrees id be interested. Depending how big you want it, i could get some of the Rx8 guys.

Well i found out that slower was faster actually! lol my best run was me not trying and going much slower. the 180 you had to get on brakes hard and turn softly through, i found out that was the best way for my car. Also i do plan to keep running sm2, if they let me that is. lol i hear people complain if there is a turbo rx8 out there. Also a few other rx8's should be joining me for sm2 next season.

i have plenty of room for all of us to stand around in the house or garage but i think any more than like 8-10 cars in the driveway/street may be an issue. There's a Hy-Vee and car wash about a block or 2 away so we could ferry people back to the house if the street gets full.

I could probably pick up 2 of the rx8 guys and bring them with me, that would save space for other cars. They all want a ride on mine so that would be nice. Let me know when do you have it planned so i can finish her up and have her ready. Only got a few things to do. Plus check ups.

Sorry Ian, I forgot we agreed to not talk about your insane mad JDM drift skills.

Looks like the RX-8 turbo is coming along well. Sad thing is I continue to see RX-8's pull up to the local Mazda dealership on flatbeds and tow trucks that are blown up.

Yea, last time I wanted to go to the party and I wasn't 21 I got shut down hardcore by Eric. It sucked. I'm pretty sure everyone that was at the meet was 21 or older weren't they?

How big are you planning on making this thing? Like 10-15 people? More?

You make it sound like i told you to leave, i just said no beer served to anyone underage at my house... now if there were some 19 yr old college girls around i may have bent the rules


as long as its <25-30 we should be OK
