The Road to Topeka - Chike's official 2008 Autocross Blog Thread (B-stock Mazda RX-8)
Several SVX Network members asked that I start an autocross blog for my 2008 season in my B-stock Mazda RX-8 as it'll help my friends on here stay abreast of my progress. My friend Shawn, will be my season long co-driver. We plan on doing 1-2 National Tours and at least 2 Pro Solos. It is also our intention to attend both the Pro Finale and Solo Nationals in Tokeka, Kansas in Sept, '08.
The Car 2006 Mazda RX-8 purchased from Carmax with 12,600 miles on the clock the weekend after Thanksgiving in '07.   The Set-up I'm bascially prepping the car fully to the rules of the SCCA 'stock class.' Current upgrades include:
Pic of the wheels:  Mazdaspeed version 2 catback (7lbs lighter than stock):  I did a test & tune event with the Mid-Atlantic chapter of NASA on February 10th. Felt comfortable in the car and I didn't feel like they were too many winter cobwebs to brush off. My next event is the 2008 SCCA Dixie National Tour this weekend in Cecil, GA. Shawn and I leave this evening.

Thanks a million Tom. I'll definitely update this blog with my results as the season progresses. It's nice to finally be in a well-prepped car. No excuses...just time to shut up & drive!

Good luck Chike. I'm no fan of the RX-8, and wished you went another direction, but I wish you well, you know that. You should have gotten a Cayman.
