Well, this time I was little better....I was still the slowest RX8 there.....there were 6 total, and 2 of them had race rubber. The other 3 had performance street tires. I have the greasy Sumitomo all seasons...anyway..I did very well...within a tenth of another RX8.



here is the video

There's the sound of a bunch of change in the ashtray clanging around....and then there's the wind buffeting around the cockpit....I got to around 60mph and the windows were opened....
