New Daily Driver / Stock-ish RX-8 Autocross Debut!

Highlights from the Washington DC Region (WDCR) SCCA Autocross (Solo) season opener / practice event at Summit Point Motorsports Park on 28 March 2021.

This was my first event in the new daily driver RX8. It was also the first event for my very excited 12 year old nephew. It rained in the morning, which made for slippery fun on the Washington Circuit. However, us afternoon folks were lucky and the course dried out and allowed for some full-speed runs.

I thought the car performed well and was an absolute blast considering it's on the low compression ORIGINAL engine and the original shocks and tires from 2016.
