Ha ha. I know PAX doesn't hold water for many people, but they do have some use. The main thing with PAX, is that the course has to "national quality". DC events tend to have these qualities and I strive to do the same in my course designs. They are some courses on "postage stamp" lots that blantanly favor small cars.

Shawn's driving looks smoother to me in that particular GA event. 
Do you think the RX-8 can be competitive in times with the
STI of the event at VA? 
I can hear your let-go of your breath at the end of
the run in the STI! 
Wish you have fun and do good in this season!

Hi Ken. The car is doing well and running like a champ. I'm having the dealership check out the low power issue. Hoping its just a clogged cat or stuck secondary shutter valve - but we'll see. Shawn's driving definitely tends to be smoother than mine, but that's why I co-drive with a more experienced driver who's faster than me - I want to be pushed, I want to go faster!
Ha ha. I think I forgot to breath on in the later half of my run in the STI - it was just that exhilerating. I want one now - my next car
will be an '06/'07 STI!
If I ran my RX-8 that day I'm sure it would have done just fine out there. Martin and I are normally very close in PAX, but the Verona lot has some gravel in a few areas - awd cars definitely have an advantage.
I've now had 3 top 2 PAX's with the BRR. I want my darn FTP!!!!
