I'm going to the SD one for part of my spring break... going to swing by Mexico as well... Both should be a blast... Did anyone go last year? Just wondering what it is really like? $40 just seems too cheap and wondering what the catch is and how I get around it...



Uhh...have you heard of the RX-8?? 228HP from a 1.3L!! ...0-60 mph in 5.9 sec, 0.25mi in 14.5 sec @ 95.6 mph, 6 gears... BBC's "Top Gear" raced it around a track and it tied the BMW M3 time... Not bad, I'd say...

TJ sucks - go further south as fast as possible if you hit mexico.

TJ = little kids selling chicklets, mexican beers as expensive as the US, watered down tequilla

I meant tips for the Mazda race days in San Diego, but that's ok. I believe for mexico we are going to Rocky Point. Spring break central baby... should be crazy. I should get laid at least twice without even trying...

just went to the san diego mazda rev it up thing today. first time ive raced, off the street there where 4 classes - fun, novice, club, pro - i was in the club class and placed in the top 15(club class) and on the big scoreboard. the format was a cone course - slalom section, some s turns, a large 180 turn, box section and another slalom section. a pro driver would run the course to set a track time - if you where as fast as him youd get 1000 points, deductions for slower and 2 second penalty per cone hit. the pro was running mid 29s to low 30s. i came in at mid 32s. i noticed they changed the tires for the pro driver- considering a car starts every 15-30 seconds the tires we used where probably worn a lot more.

also attended the 3 drive training classes with very short courses to practise on - not much as far a class or course but you got to rag a new car out.

overall a lot of fun sliding a car around. lines where long at the side courses. it was worth the $40.
