any with 8th gen civics, I haven't seen any yet. It's amazing how strong the repressentation from other car clubs is there but I don't see any civics.

The nissan club, the s2000 club, club rsx, the miata club, no eight gens there running or spectating.

Most people who are serious enough to actually take their car out on the track consider the platform before they buy it. The Si is a fun car for the street, but there are about a dozen cars at that price point, or significantly cheaper that I would run on the track before it due primarily to weight/cost.

I'm considering taking my Si to the TrackDaze event at VIR in March. If I don't do that, it'll be either TrackDaze or BSR at Summit Point later in the spring. I really wanna do VIR, I just wish they'd scheduled it a little later than the first week in March. The weather could be anywhere from 50's all the way down to 20's. I wanna be running summer rubber on the track, and freezing temps might cause a couple moments.

FYI, I went to one of BSR's Friday at the Track sessions last year at Summit Point, and it was awesome. I'll have a few more mods and will be running better tires this time around, so I'm really looking forward to getting back out there.

I've always wanted to, since VIR's my home track (I'm from Danville). An ITR club rents the track for 2 days in early June. I belive it was $360 for 2 days, 4, 20 minute sessions a day, and a banquet at the end of the second day.

I saw pics of their 08 days, and it looked like some awesome fun. There were a few 8th gens in their pics. I'd love to hear that much vtec going on at once down the front straight

It would be rad if a few of us could all be out there together.
