I would but I'm shure I can't pass a tech inspection at the moment. and I need to do alot of work this week. new trans, replace gasket once again, swap the steering rack, grease fittings, seal oil pan, replace oil line crush washers, turbo water crush washers. tighten wheel bearings, I'm just gonna stop there. I'm getting overwhelmed.

not to mention my winsheild cracked accross. The FB now has a o ring leak, need to put some freeze plugs in the intake. also has a cracked winsheild but I have a replacement for that.

You could come to support, but there won't be much supporting to do... I shouldn't have any issues and it's not really racing, just getting schooled by experienced drivers. They are going to be doing racing on Sunday though... and I might go watch March 28th?

It was awesome! A great day!

Had a great time and learned a lot, mostly that I need new tires and some suspension adjustments. Traction was definitely an issue. Plowed like a tractor.
Had some issues with the tie rods being loose, the bearings were a little loose to, and my schweet Tein Coilovers have slop at the part where they bolt to the knuckle because it needs some shims..or w/e.. easy fix, but almost didn't pass tech because of it. No akward tire movement.

No pics or video but, did get a certificate. Got a total of 2 sessions of 10 runs. 2 with an instructor as passenger, 2 with instructor driving, then 4 or so runs with instructor as a passenger and 2 all alone.

It Poured at lunch and by the time we started back up it was dry. Gotta love Oregon.

I hit a few cones(3 on the second to last run. doh). Really tried to look ahead and to be smooth, hard to do when the rear-end wants to come around when you're on the throttle and then thing doesn't want to turn coming into the damn corners. Instructor said I could lose 2 sec. with better tires, and I know I could too, maybe some more practice/experience/suspension too.

1 other Rx8 was there.
