Decided to cross off a bucket list track this tear so I headed down south with a friend and we rented a couple seats in an RX-8 here are a couple videos of me driving horribly and figuring out the line. A lot of pro drivers were at this race which made things fun. ![[https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtl1/v/t1.0-9/12670907\_10153958502951276\_7856024664042900603\_n.j](https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtl1/v/t1.0-9/12670907_10153958502951276_7856024664042900603_n.j) pg?oh=3e44b077081aa2bbf57fc60c5b3cec05&oe=57898A84]([https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtl1/v/t1.0-9/12670907\_10153958502951276\_7856024664042900603\_n.j](https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtl1/v/t1.0-9/12670907_10153958502951276_7856024664042900603_n.j) pg?oh=3e44b077081aa2bbf57fc60c5b3cec05&oe=57898A84) ![[https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/12592277\_10153958509936276\_5009446448755510625\_n.j](https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/12592277_10153958509936276_5009446448755510625_n.j) pg?oh=bd160ef374b268c4333e70bc5b74d5c2&oe=577E58F2]([https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/12592277\_10153958509936276\_5009446448755510625\_n.j](https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/12592277_10153958509936276_5009446448755510625_n.j) pg?oh=bd160ef374b268c4333e70bc5b74d5c2&oe=577E58F2) lots more pics: [https://www.facebook.com/aaron.bluestone/media\_set?set=a.10153958492921276.1073741837.68183](https://www.facebook.com/aaron.bluestone/media_set?set=a.10153958492921276.1073741837.68183) 1275&type=3 ---
