The Speedsource RX-8 guys and all the rest will be coming to Mid-Ohio June 21 for a 5 PM race. Last year we had a pretty good showing of RX-8 folks and saw a great race! Who's up for a repeat performance?

Columbus area folks, we can set a meeting point on the north end of town and caravan on up. The rest of you folks we can meet up there.

Come celebrate the first day of summer and cheer the Speedsource guys on to another win!

See you there!

It's on like Donkey Kong! Count us in! #70 was soooo close at Laguna Seca this past weekend...

Count us in.

I'm going to try to make it down from the SW side of CLE. Sounds like fun.

are you guys parking in any certain spot at the track?

If we get enough, I'd like to think we could get an infield corral. Attendance at these things is usually very low, so maybe. I'll check into it and post back.

Sounds like fun!

Just wondering what goes on, Sunday . Is there some other race , because the one I've read about is Saturday. I might drive out there .

Thanks.........

Thank you

Good news! I have confirmed with Mid-Ohio that they will set up an infield parking corral for us. No cost for parking. When you arrive, just follow the signs to infield parking and there will be a corral marked for RX8Club.com

I'd like to give them a semi-accurate count to ensure we have enough room, so please post up even if you're just thinking about coming.

so please post up even if you're just thinking about coming.

I am planning on coming but with work...they call I have to respond. So no work call Brian will be happy guy at Mid Ohio.

Take care,

Brian

i will take a space.

Put me down as a possible. Pretty sure that weekend is free and it'd be nice to see some 8s.

I'll be there Jeff. Looking forward to seeing all the 8's in the field. Wonder if we'd have the opportunity to maybe say howdy to the Speedsource team? :)

Mickey-Ds at Polaris again?

We're in. Thanks for taking care of this Jeff.

Sounds like it's coming together!

Mickey-D's sounds good to me. I'll post in the Columbus thread to see if we can meet this coming weekend to finalize details.

For me, I'm thinking about a paddock pass. The cheapest way to do it is $30 for the weekend pass, which includes everything. Otherwise, it's $20 for the race on Saturday. These prices are online, before June 18. From experience, earlier is better, as they will mail the tickets to you so you don't have to go through will-call at the track.

Put me down as a possible. Pretty sure that weekend is free and it'd be nice to see some 8s.

Ok I'm in for sure on Saturday. Maybe Sunday as well. Johnnyspeed and I can try to get a few more of the Cleveland 8s down there when we meet up on the 6th.

Apparantly the Daytona prototypes will be there as well. My buddy knows an owner so I may be able to get close to a few of them. If the chance of seeing the speedsource wasn't reason enough to drop in that will be.

Yeah, that $30 ticket looks like the way to go...general admission for the entire weekend plus the free paddock pass. Gonna pick one of those up! Thanks for the heads up Jeff!

I too may attend. My 5 year old son has been asking about going back to mid-ohio this year. Last year was his first time there. I'm hoping he'll take up cars as a hobby!

I'd like to give them a semi-accurate count to ensure we have enough room, so please post up even if you're just thinking about coming.

I'm planning on being there.

Im in and it looks like ProChargerGT will be heading down as well with his Mustang.

My name is Marlon, I plan corral events for Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development, I am also one of the founders of Cleveland6club.com. I plan every Mazda corral from Sebring to Mid-Ohio.

A couple of my members have told me that you guys were having a corral @ Mid-Ohio? We were planning to have one at this event, but see that you have already started one. I have a few questions for the organizer?

1. Do you have an actual space picked out, if you do how many vehicles is it for?

2. Is Mazda USA or Mazdaspeed Motorsports supporting you guys?

3. Has anyone contacted the teams, Speed Source, Hyper Sport, Racers Edge, ROAR Racing?

I would like to join forces and offer the membership a great opportunity. I work very closely with all of the teams above and I work with them on settin gup personal tours of their paddocks, haulers, etc. We have meet and greets, photo ops, autograph sessions, where you do not have to stand in line with the public and wait.

Here are a couple of e mail from teams principals, etc

Hi Marlon,



No problem here. We would be happy to participate like we did at Lime Rock and we can come up with a few “giveaways”.



BTW, great job at Lime Rock and thanks for lunch! Next time I can, I’m going to bring my R1 for your corral J



Jon


Jon is the owner of Racers Edge and is looking forward to the event!!


Here's another:

Thanks Marlon.



Right now we are planning on getting the #60 up to the corral for a meet & greet and to let people sit in the car. It’s our brand new car that we are going to be finishing next week. Plan on us bringing it up after our Qualifying session on Saturday, sometime around 3 pm. It might be possible for us to get it over there after practice on Friday as well so that anyone who is there on Friday can be sure to get their chance to look at it and helping to cut down on any crowd on Saturday. Hopefully this time the steering wheel won’t get stolen out of the extra car.



We have also found a few shirts and hats that we can donate to your cause. I’m not sure what sizes for the shirts off the top of my head though, I will find out later.



Adam

Adam is the owner of ROAR Racing and will haveone of his cars on display at the corral. I have the same commitment from Hyper Sport and SpeedSource, too! Also, I am working with Jim Ryan of Koni-NA and we will have some special things taking place, hot laps in the G8's and more......

We are also holding a raffle for Autism Speaks, you will get a chance to win team shirts, hats, possible "gopher" for a day for the teams, where you can have special pit access and assist the guy.......win some Mazda apparel as well.

Here are some links to pics from Lime Rock....

If you guys woudl like to join forces and make this a very special event, please let me know..so I can let my contacts @ Mazdaspeed Motorsports know what is going on.

Thanks,
Marlon

I would highly recommend teaming up with Cleveland6club. C6C has great working relationships with Mazdaspeed Motorsports and with ALL the teams that race the RX-8 (Hypersort, SpeedSource, Racers Edge, etc) as evidenced by our recent successful Mazdaspeed Shu Go Corral at Lime Rock.

As a result of all the hard work of establishing and fostering these relationships through the years, we were able to provide our corral attendees "up close and personal" access to the cars, drivers, and teams.

Ooooo..... Can we touch the Speedsource 8? vb ;)

Lots of picks from Limerock in the pics forum and props on the first to Marlon's Cleveland6 group :

You may be able to even sit in the car, depending on the schedule of events. Sylvain usually gives a tour of his hauler, and will answer questions along with David Haskell and Nick Ham. Matt and Marty, the crew chiefs are more than willing to share their knowledge too.

You guys will have a great experience and we can make this an annual event, like we are doing with Lime Rock!

I was trying to get him a promotion!!! :Eyecrazy: They're a great group of guys and they looked really good until the fire in the car with Chip Herr driving and Also, they had another good friend of ours driving the sister car, Charles Espenlaub...tough day..but those cars are very strong!

Nic, my wife will have brownies for you guys the entire weekend too!

Im in for both days. :P Brownies FTW!

Man, those brownies went quick this past weekend!!! I didn't even get one.:(

Knowing some of those Cleveland6 guys it didn't matter if they were brownies or dog food...it was getting inhaled. :P

This is going to be a real event! Lets really push the envelope... how about a parade lap between races?

This is going to be a real event! Lets really push the envelope... how about a parade lap between races?

If we do end up combining our efforts, I will see if Mazda will lobby for us to do a couple of laps. It has to go through Grand Am and Koni as well.

Knowing some of those Cleveland6 guys it didn't matter if they were brownies or dog food...it was getting inhaled. :P

My wife bakes brownies for the teams only, no Cleveland6club members had any at all! SpeedSource, Hyper Sport, Racers Edge and ROAR Racing got them. The other teams we're the SWC TC Teams, Tri-Point, Tindol Motorsports and Horton Motorsports...

Hell, she doesn't bake brownies for me!!!!

Wait. What KIND of brownies.... Hope the drivers and crews avoided them on the day of the race. ;)

Well that is very nice of her. Maybe we can get Brian to bake us all a cake. :P Maybe in the shape of a rotor.

This is excellent! I will call you tomorrow to work out the details Marlon.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Jeff

Wait. What KIND of brownies.... Hope the drivers and crews avoided them on the day of the race. ;)

Good luck brownies. She brings them brownies so often that the teams look forward to her brownies. So much so, that I think it's slowly becoming superstition among the various Mazdaspeed Motorsports teams (Tri-Point, Tindol, SpeedSource, etc.).

I was the first one at Lime Rock to set up, and the first thing they wanted to know was when she was coming with the brownies.

Hey Jeff!

Count me in also!! This is going to be AWESOME!!!

Will

OH MY GOD. This is going to be flipping awesome. Marlon...you sir are a king among men. Can't wait!!!

I could not do this without my wife Lauri and also Raynman! It takes a lot of work to put these on and it can wear on you. I have assembled a good team of people to work with and now we have it down pat!

No special Pass will be needed, you just need to own a Mazda. This is a Mazda only corral and no exceptions can be made.

Charles and Chip are good friends of ours! My wife is Charles's "personal "
Flag Girl for all of the Speed World Challenge races and we've always supported Chip, even when he drove for Stasis, as he started out as a Mazda driver.

I know ROAR will do well with the help of those two, as they drive like there is no tomorrow! We'll see you in a couple of weeks!

i have 3 Pirelli hospitality passes i can give away for the race, i just need names to put on them. if anyone would like one just let me know.

^DUDE SOMEONE JUMP ON THOSE NOW!!!!! these events are soooooo much fun!

Are we holding off on getting our own tix via the website to see what happens here or should we be getting our tix asap?

I've lost track in all the excitement.

Jeff, 60 mph!?!?!? Do we have a club motto or what? "110 or All Out", yes? Ha!!!

Purchase your tickets ASAP, there is no point in waiting. The teams and drivers are already to go, they get more excited than we are, just having the support of Mazda owners means a lot to all of them.....

Just to clarify, buying a paddock pass and a general admission ticket will get you access to everything. The best way financially to do this is to buy a weekend general admission pass for $30. This includes a free paddock pass. The price if you buy a Saturday ticket and paddock pass is $33, so you save 3 bucks, and can go all weekend, if you wish.

Mine's ordered - can't wait!

I had purchased my tickets last week and had them a day later from FedEx. I don't know why USPS wasn't an option this far out but whatever.

Marlon, if you have any requests for pictures either of the pits or race if you can forward them on to me prior to going. Im planning on taking a couple hundred pictures each day, but if there is something specific someone wants I will make sure I get it.

What catbacks are you all running? I'm curious to know what I can listen too on June 21st. Also, if anyone's intersted, I'm selling my non-res midpipe that I just bought. It has about 100 miles on it and I'll bring it down if someone wants it for $160.

Marlon and/ or Jeff,

Are the things that you are pulling together for us "in place" of the paddock pass? Therefore do we need to still purchase a paddock pass for Sat.?

....and Sat. will be the only day that I'll be attending so my total cost would be $20.

Thanks in advance.

Anthony,

You need the paddock pass. The best option is the full weekend ticket for 30 bucks, becuase it includes the paddock pass. Otherwise, it's 20 for Saturday plus 13 for the paddock pass.

Hope that's more clear.

Got it, Thank you.

Mine arrived today. Weekend pass with paddock pass - I'm good to go.

Marlon, I have a quick question. Do I have to purchase a paddock pass to participate in the Mazda Coral, even though I hold Grand-Am crew credentials?

The 69 Speedsource took the checker today tho the 70 lost points overall. Guess they had to deal with a bad alternator and damage from the previous week but still managed to finish 7th. Loved watching the rx-8 tearing up the Pontiacs on the straights. Always fun seeing what a crazy tuned rx8 can do. :)

Should be a great setup for the 21st. Makes it even more exciting.

No the #70 had to deal with damage from the previous practice session. Had major damage to the front left suspension, they got it back together and started from the pit. Very good finish either way!

Anyways, looks to be a great match up on the 22nd during the KONI race! 9 RX-8's entered last I checked! Hopefully, our cars will be in the lead and bring us win this time...

Marlon, I have a quick question. Do I have to purchase a paddock pass to participate in the Mazda Coral, even though I hold Grand-Am crew credentials?


You have your credentials, so you're good to go, like me!

I was at the races this weekend, it was a great weekend overal, but we did hit a few bumps in the road. It was true that, the #70 car was hit and sustained a lot of front end damage, along with suspension work! They had to start at the back of the field and they did get to the front eventually, ( we had 3 RX-8's) running 1, 2 & 3 early on, but mechanical issues slowed the Racers Edge car and Hyper Sport was taken out on the first lap of the race, but the had to fabricate a shock, but they got back into race and put forth a great effort.

If you guys want, you should bring out your better half to the event, as I have it on good authority, that Patrick Dempsey will be racing that weekend. I am sure you are wondering on who's authority, well Patrick's himself!

Here is a pick with Patrick signing posters for me...

Really nice guy and he loves racing and appreciates the fans as well. So if the wife or girlfriend won't let you go, use the "McDreamy" factor to your advantage:lol:

+1 on Patrick! He really is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I met him this past Oct when he drove for us at the 6 hr at VIR. He signed a rotor for me...I'll bring it with me, along with my SpeedSource signed rotor and maybe if someone wants to take a very valuable piece of SpeedSource memorabilia off my hands...the autographed rear door of the #70 from last year's Sunchaser 1000 at Miller!!!

Marlon,

I edited my entry for shirts, if possible. Your "McDreamy" post swayed her to leave the quilt show early!

Thanks,

Jeff

what time are guys showing up saturday?

what time are guys showing up saturday?

A couple hours after I wake up and that's highly dependent on how well Friday night goes...

Probably shoot for between 11-12.

what time are guys showing up saturday?

I wanted to know the same thing so, I can let the rest of the team know how many and roughly what time to expect you all. Ya'll are in for a real treat too...we will be debuting our newest car that weekend!!!

I know that some of the Cleveland guys were talking about caravaning down at our last meet. So whenever RK wakes up I will probably be heading out the door. Personally I was hoping for 9 - 10 though.

10 ish works

tireman you may want to hop into the Akron/Cleveland thread. We are talking about meeting up at Rt18 and 71 right now and we are a bunch of passive folk so you may just get your wish for a time if you hop in. :P

I'm going to confirm the corral with Mid-Ohio this week, based on what I see in this thread. If you haven't posted your intentions yet, now's the time!

10 days & counting - can't wait!

We'll be there early to set things up and finalize things with allof the teams. I will have a better idea what time when I see what the rest of this week holds for me.

I may have 2 more people coming down. If you're still tracking t-shirts add in a pair of Mediums. If not no biggie. They're more interested in McDreamy than t-shirts. I'm thinking I shouldn't thank you for that but I'm sure they will. ;)

Just curious but only Mazda's in the corral, right? Trying to figure out some driving arrangements.

Damn, We've got some big boys comin' to this thing!! 4XL's?!?! 3XL's?!?! Yikes!

I might start talkin' trash to the non-Mazda folks and then ask them what they're going to do about it. Ha!!

If my buddy drives he'll be in a mini so it won't be hard. Then again if he came down in the Vette he raced at the Cleveland Grand Prix vette challenge 2 years ago he'd probably 'do' something about it on the track. ;)

I'll throw my car cover in the trunk and can just cover his ride up when he's not looking... Although with a Mini I can probably cover it with a lawn size trash bag.

I believe he was speaking of trying to use me as his muscle. As an MMA fan I am sure I can hold my own...but as Mazda makes really small cars...I would be careful who you pick on. Can we keep it to Crossfire and Civic owners as they are normally under 100 lbs soaking wet? kthxbai

Pass this along to all the ladies coming just to see Patrick...he really does enjoy having the fans there but also keep in mind he is a race car driver and doesn't have a lot of free to time to go around. I know he doesn't mind taking pictures and signing autographs but please be courteous.

So panty throwing on sight is considered inappropriate? ;)

It shouldn't be a problem. I vaguely knew he did stuff with Mazda but hadn't realized he's driving an 8 in the GT. Good for him and good pub for Mazda.

Panty throwing is allowed only if the rest of us get to watch the panties come off! HAHA! Yeah, Patrick drove 2 seasons in the MX-5 Cup and has driven for us in the ST class before. He will be driving for us again just not sure when.

Yea...while I spent my 4 hours at the dealer the other day I got to read about his story from the Mazda Magazine. It magically stopped getting delivered to my house. Twuz a good story...too bad Mazda doesn't love me anymore.

Any chance of putting together a small educational spring and strut workshop Saturday or Sunday? I have new MazdaSpeed shocks/struts and Eibach Springs to put on my car? Sounds like a nice size group in the corral!

If not no biggie, but thought maybe some might be interested.

Plus, it would save me the trouble...LOL!!

Also, I will probably be getting to the track on Saturday between 7:30 - 8:30am

Who else is making this?

The Cleveland/Akron gang has decided to leave from the McDonalds at I-71 and SR-18 at 9:30 AM. We expect to arrive around 10:30 AM...at least by Google's calculations. I expect us to arrive more like 10:00 AM though...we shall see.

Jeff,

What were you thinking as far as a departure time? How long did it take us to get there last year?

Anthony,

Marlon is currently confirming the schedules with the teams. For me, my wife has an early morning function, so we will not be able to leave Hilliard until about noon. That would put us up there about 1:30, which should be ok given a 5:00 race time. If folks want to go up earlier, by all means have at it. You had mentioned hooking up at the Rt 36 exit. Do you still want to do that? Any particular place and time in mind?

I'm giving more consideration to going up Friday afternoon to see some practice and qualifying. Anybody interested?

Friday is out for me but Sat. is golden.

Rt. 36 this Sat. around 1230p-ish for a bite to eat then? Ra/ wife and Mark will be with us as well.

^^^We'll be there.

Also, are we planning on cooking out afterwards? What is everyone bringing? Apologies if it was mentioned earlier in the thread.

I'm bringing two tickets to the gun show.

Watch out, they'll getcha!

Rt. 36 @ 12:30 sounds good. Name the place.

Way late to the party, but my 7 year old daughter and I are planning to attend on Saturday. Mid-morning arrival.

Chris Harvey
06' RX8 Red....B-stock Solo2 mods and decals

I'm thinking about coming down... Tickets still available? And where can I buy them? Where can I find all you guys and gals when I get there?

Beth

"Rt. 36 @ 12:30 sounds good. Name the place." -Jeff

First we need to decide if we want to sit down or do fast food.

Sit down options are Bob Evans, Cracker Barrel or Waffle House. Haven't been to a Cracker Barrel in years so I'd be up for that or the always satisfying Bobby E's.

Fast food options are standard issue: McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, White Castle, Wendy's?, Arby's? etc.

I'm easily pleased so if you have a hunger for one in particular I'll probably be down for it.

Beth

Beth,

There is no more opportunity for advance tickets, but you can easily buy tickets at the gate on Saturday. Make sure you get a paddock pass as well. Once you are in, follow the signs for infield parking and there should be a sign for "RX-8Club.com" Depending on when you arrive, you should see several 8s there.

Once parked, look around for tents with Mazda/Mazdaspeed banners on them - you should find some friendly people there!

Stay tuned to this thread for more info...feel free to PM me if you need help.

I'd prefer the sit-down stuff, but we might be better off time-wise with the fast stuff. BK @12:30?

Beth

Hey Beth,

I may end up having 2 extra tickets. I won't know for sure until I get there at the track Will Call office around 8am. The tickets cost me $35 each with shipping and include the paddock passes. I will let you have them for the face value of $30 each.

If you would be intersted PM me with your cell number. I'll let you know around 8am Saturday morning.

Will

-ps Jeff, Anthony and Ra you guys are killin' me...I'm the first timer and going to beat you there by 4-5 hours. Geez...leave the padawan to get lost in the forest on his own.

I'll be sure to save you a parking space! See you guys there!!

OK, ladies and gentleman, here is an update. I am still working on the shirts, like everybody else, Mazda has been hit by budget cuts, etc. I am looking at other alternatives at this point. See e mail: Hi Marlon,



Unfortunately, my supply of shirts is depleted, as is my budget. Did you get any response from Kim?

As far as the Cook out, we can do it on Sunday and we can compile a list tomorrow. Looks like we'll have a pretty good turn out this weekend. If anyone needs to reach me, here is my cell 440-382-3636. I am bringing my Speed Protege, it is Spicy Orange, so you can't miss it.

Fast food options are standard issue: McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, White Castle, Wendy's?, Arby's? etc.

I'm easily pleased so if you have a hunger for one in particular I'll probably be down for it.

Mmmmm....White Castles has my vote. We'll all be in for a fun ride in the MZ5 if we carpool. :lol:

Jesus christ I'm going to be tired tomorrow. So Burger King off of 71 and 36 at 12:30?

Yup - see you there!

Marlon is at the track.

they did not put a sign up designating the rx8 club corral parking ... so just drive to the infield parking, by turns 3 and 4 and look for the spicy orange protege and that's our spot.

no tents set up as yet either, nor mazda signs ... just spicy marking the spot.

have a great day!! i'll be down mid afternoon ...

see you at the races!!

lauri (the wife)

Thanks for the update Lauri! See you around 230. w00t w00t!

It was nice meeting all of you guy's. (and ladies) Great day despite the rain, I just wish I had gotten more sleep last night. -_-

is a caravan heading down from cleve area on sun am?

we're planning on heading down @ 10am ...

John and I are headed down for sure - leaving around 9:30 from the McDonalds @ I-71 and RT 18. Not sure if we qualify as a caravan. :)

Thanks to all that came out, the teams really appreciated and look forward to us coming back next year. I hope everyone got their picture or an autograph from Patrick, as he asked me if all of us were taken care of.

Jeff, did your wife get a picture and or an autograph? Let me know if she did not and I will take care of it for her. We are working on a few other things for this year and I will keep you guys informed.

thanks marlon. It was a good way to spend a Saturday. I really enjoyed the access we had to the speedsource guys. Shame the weather took a crap on us the moment the race started but what ya gonna do.

Did anyone get pics of all the 8s?

Marlon,

Many thanks for not only helping to set this up but for the time you spent with us on Saturday introducing us to the teams and just generally sheparding us around. I especially enjoyed spending time with Nick Ham, Craig Stone from Racers Edge and the ROAR Racing guys. Hanging out with Craig Stanton after stumbling upon him at the Scion KONI car was an unexpected treat - he's a super nice guy.

Anyway, Marlon, you made the day very special for Marina, Andy and I. Thanks again.

Tom

Thanks to everyone who stop by to see us. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves! We had a rough weekend but appreciated the support. Hope see everyone again.

Lauri and I always enjoy sharing our passion with all of our Mazda friends, we get a great deal of joy when we see people get excited about racing and Mazda as well. I can't thank the Roar Racing for the use of the #60 car, Adam and Robert are great guys and they appreciated everyone stopping by and showing their support.

Also, they have a crew member that was very instrumental in helping us, he even owns an 8 too! Great times + great people + plus great cars=Succesful event!

Stay tuned for more, as I always have my hand in something Mazda related!

Thanks to everyone who stop by to see us. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves! We had a rough weekend but appreciated the support. Hope see everyone again.

Sure seemed like you guys had a target on your back on Sunday. :( I hope that the rest of your season goes better. I am trying to see if I can make one more race this year but we shall see. Until then...good luck and keep on Zoomin'

Marlon,

Unfortunately, no. We slid down to his trailer while you were delivering brownies and got this shot, but there was no time for autographs as he was off to the driver's meeting. Maybe next time...
http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn119/huhwha57/IMG_0634.jpg

^Oh man, too bad you didn't get to meet him. We went down to Hypersport to introduce him to our new Crew Chief and his family. Patrick drove for us at the 6 hr VIR race last year...I was a little surprised that he remembered me. Here are some pics I got of him when I was down visiting their pit stall during the race and a few after the race:

Jeff, I have a signed Mazda ball cap for ur wife......I had him sign five one is for her....I will be seeing him again I'll also have a special surprise for u as well.

I appreciate it Marlon. I'll PM you my address. Many thanks for the hospitality and support.

I just want to get my shout out to Marlon!!!

Thanks so much Bro!! I really appreciated the access and the help obtaining autographs for my panoramic photos!!

Sylvain and the Speedsource guys went out of their way to make sure I had everything signed and made sure we got shirts and hats!! Sylvain Tremblay is the MAN!! His entire staff and crew were so warm and welcoming!! When a tough as nail race car driver puts his arm around you, you know your not just another paddock hound. Thanks Sylvain!!!

Want to thank the Roar guys too!! Very generous with their time. When I was only able to get 3 of the drivers to sign my panoramic with the primary and secondary cars they were still accessible post race and made sure that Chip was able to sign the photo as well. Marlon you were a great help in getting these autographs as well!!

I was also able to get Stewart of the Sunlight Silver BMR car to sign as well. Also a nice guy and very excited to see the photo and sign it! Very friendly as well!!

Over all I had an extremely amazing time at the races!! Saturday and Sunday ROCKED!!

Oh yeah, a special thanks to Mike aka "Tireman"!! Thanks so much for the Pirelli hospitality passes!! That tent and flat panel LCD tv came in great during the hour and a half downpour!!!!!! Heck the BBQ and drinks were not half bad either!! Thanks Mike and Mary!!! It was great meeting you both!!

Thanks Jeff for all you did too!! Too bad Ra and Anthony bounced before I had a chance to say hey. Let me know when we are getting together for lunch or drive.

Again, Thanks Marlon!!!
God Bless Everyone!!

It is my pleasure, we try to get to everybody we can, but sometimes things get a bit crazy! All of the Mazda teams are great, the BMR guys are really nice as well, as I let them know that you guys would be coming by their paddock to visit.

The teams appreciate Mazda owners stopping by, this gets the drivers pumped up as well as the crew, they want to do well for us as wel as themselves! This is with every team that competes in any series.

Tri-Point, Tindol and Horton Motorsports, Mazda 6's to B-K Motorports and the ALMS P2 car to all of the MX-5 cup guys and gals, they appreciate our support! What Lauri and I try to do is get owners out to these events, where you can get up close and personal with the teams. The series that Mazda competes in, whether its the SWC, ALMS, MX-5 Cup, Grand Am or Koni Challenge, you can have the same access to all fo the teams.

We hope to see all of you again @ Mid-Ohio next month as Tindol Motorsports goes for their 3rd win in a row, as we try to catch Acura for the Manufacturers Championship, we're only 10 points back...

So whenever you see an event where Mazda is competing, go out and support them! As our teams have the best people and obviously the best cars!

Well...the only person that I never did hear back from now was Marlon and I'm assuming he really doesn't care. Marlon, if you object, off the pictures come. But here are pictures from Sat and Sun...255 in all. No pictures from the Sat race though...stupid rain. :(
