3rd event for the RX-8 and my 2nd time at Hallett. I think there's a few places to pick up a little time, but honestly think this is about as good as it'll get for this car on stock suspension.

The Car:
- 2004 Mazda RX-8 110k miles. It is stock outside of cold air intake for cooling (unblock radiator) and off the shelf Bilstein dampers to replace the blown OEMs.
- Tires: 17x9" wheels with 255/40/17 Hankook RS-4. A decent all around 200tw tire, but far from the grippiest
- Suspension: Stock springs, but Bilstein shocks replaced blown OEMs. Stock Sway bars
- Engine: A used pull out making officially low compression (mazda manual says this engine is "failed" and needs a rebuild), but it runs ok enough to drive on track.
- Brakes: G-Loc R10 and R8 combo, stock calipers and generic blank rotors
The driver:
- Red with The Drivers Edge
- Group 4 with NASA
