Just a quick update. We are set for Mid-Ohio.
The car is in pretty good shape mechanically. Grand-Am now allows an 18 Gallon fuel capacity, so we have upgraded the fuel system to give us that extra gallon. Grand-Am...
We didn't make it to the two West Coast races, Laguna Seca and Phoenix. Logistically, it was just goint to be too difficult for us to pull it off.
Right now the car is being prepared for the Lime Rock Park race, which is the end...
Looks like the car didn't sustain any suspension or frame damage from my off-track excursion at VIR last weekend. Jon sent it off to an alignment shop to see if all the wheels were still lined up, and he said everything came back ok, only a minor...
A new story has been posted detailing our adventures testing the RX-8 at VIR and Roebling Road during the months of February, March and April. See the lastest at http://www.grandamadventure.com/ga_vir_test.html .
I don't want to spoil it,...
It turns out we didn't get much practice with the Tarheel Sports Car Club last weekend at VIR. Our RX-8 wasn't ready, but the ROAR guys brought up the #26 RX-8. It was 35 degrees, and poured rain from the start. ...
IT'S TIME I MADE A FEW STATEMENTS ABOUT OUR ADVENTURE.
The purpose of any quest for a championship or competitive challenge is not the end results of the winning or the championship itself, but the journey and the road you traveled, the friends...
The Roar Racing team will be at VIR next weekend (Feb. 11-12) at the Tarheel Sports Car Club Driving School and Time Trial. Mark Vitacco, of THSCC, and Stacy King, of the Triangle Z Club, has put together one heck an event that allows both...
The TV air date for the Daytona Race has been announced. Since we didn't finish up front, I don't know that we'll be seen too often, however I think you can expect the highlight of Danny getting clouted by the Porsche to make it, somewhere...

During the race we had a mechanical failure - at this point we think it was an overheating fuel pump. It stranded me on the far side of the track, and this caused us to have essentially a 30 minute "pit stop". Danny took over with about 40...
We qualified for Daytona about mid-pack of the ST field, which is pretty disappointing. The car's handling quickly deteriorated during the 15 minute session. When I pulled off track, it was determined that the right rear tire was flat, and...
Roebling Update has been posted to http://www.grandamadventure.com/ga_main.html
We do expect to have Danny's transporter in the RV section of the infield during the 24 hour race. Stop by and share a cold one with us. ...
Prior to the Daytona race, the team plans to test at Roebling Road Raceway, on Monday, January 23rd.
We'll be getting more seat time in the car, testing a slightly changed suspension setup, and practicing our pit stops.
Expect an...
I talked to Doc today. He said he took the car to the Dyno, and verified we were down on power during the Daytona test day. Due to the last minute engine swap, he never had a chance to tune the motor prior to bringing the car to Daytona...
The website experienced some frustrating down time today, so I decided to move it to a new service provider. It looks the same, but it's MUCH faster now. The pages load quicker, and you should find that the videos that I post will...
Jon Lewis, owner of German Speed Merchants out of Wilmington, NC, has agreed to act as Crew Chief for the fledgling race team.
