Well I uploaded the few pics and vids I took - not really any of the stand and Preludes!

I was saving the juice for my track time video - but it died during the track time and it didn't save the video.

Stumbled on the NSX club first to drool over - Is it a real NSX-R GT? Either way its awesome:

Also loved this oddly kitted heavily modified NSX - it had a turbo conversion, big brake, Rays wheels, Mugen bits, etc:

Then we were drooling over some drift cars - this thing was insane a Nissan Skyline (Infiniti G35 shape) with a V8 and a Stillen supercharger bolted to it. It screamed round the track!

Little vid of it:

Then they went out on track:

A little video:

Loved this old Mazda RX3:

Then we saw the Top Gear trio go out on track:

(Zoom isn't the best on my phone)

Then I got the Mazda 6 (laughably) ready for some track action. It surprised a few out on track:

After we came off track I was waiting to drive back on to the stand. Next thing I knew the club stand banner flew up into the air from the wind and smashed into the side of my car. There's marks on the wing and the door which I think most will polish out, but the big creased dent in the door won't.

Bit annoying end to the day, but hey ho, at least I didn't bin my daily driver on track!

I'll snap a pic of the damage later.

Indeed we do! The wind was ridiculous by the afternoon, in fact Sunday was even worse I think.

No it didn't, which is the thing bugging me whether it was the infamous NSX-R GT???

Normally that would deserve a pi$3take comment back, but that sound! I think everyone had an orgasm over that!

I've always loved these, and all the classic ones before the RX7 are pretty awesome - google the pics if none of you have seen them (RX1, RX2, RX3, RX4, RX5, RX6).

Someone snapped my Mazda on track - body roll much?

It looks to be quarry corner - renowned to be the worst corner in the country!

No arch rub though by the looks - which is impressive!

Where's that photo of the damage?

BTW - didn't know there even were any RX's before the 7! I'd assumed not (given that there were two completely different RX7's

)...

Yeah no arch rubbing after I rolled/flared them.

I'll snap the damage on my way home later. In the grand scheme of the car it's not as bad as I thought, or maybe I'm just getting used to it. It's just annoying its not an easy one to just pop/pull out.

Most people don't know about the other RX's as they pretty much don't exist in this country - I guess the importing of them wasn't so popular back in the day.
