If you are going to REV IT UP come by the enthusiast tent from 6:30-9:30 for a FAST PASS (gets you to the head of the line for the ride and drives). ALSO you are welcome to bring information to hand out about your club or upcoming events.
AND

We are looking for an RX 8 to be in our enthusiast tent on Sat and Sun (you do not have to do both days...one or the other is fine). Your show car will be there from 6:30 am to 6. I am now searching for one for Sat March the 6th and Sun the 7th (at Alameda).
Looking for one for Sat the 13th and Sun the 14th at Orange County
and then Sat the 20 and Sun 21 for San Diego.
Any owner displaying their car for a day will get a comp pass for one day at Rev It Up. The tent can hold only 3 cars and we want one rotary, one Miata and one Protege....so please let me know soon if you would like to display your car.

Also while you are at Rev it Up come by the enthusiasts tent . You are welcome to bring information about your local club as well.

You can meet the folks from Mazdasport Magazine and from Driving Sports Magazine....and share your story ides!


If you want to include your car as a show car please email me direct at
miatabb@aol.com

Do you want stock RX-8s? Or modified?

I can make it on 3/13/04 for the day but my 8 is a plain jane auto with Grand Touring Package

Do you allow spectators to sit/touch the cars in the Tent? If no, I may be able to bring my Blue RX-8 to either the OC or SD event.

Pics of my car are in the Pics forum.

Folks are not allowed to sit in the cars and we have 1 or 2 people in the tent at all times to say "Please don't touch". Barb

hey guys.. I just got back from rev it up.. I will suggest if you plan on driving the mazdaspeed miata and the other cars get there early. The whole thing was very very cool. unfortunately due to time constraints I wasn't able to participate in the competition. Next year though! and 310guy.. nice car.. its my baby's evil twin! :D

and shout out to Kevin and Paul the guys I met there!

Had a great time, but my score sucked, only a 403. I think I need a lot more practice. I'm really not used to automatics at all, I've driven manuals for about 30 years and most of those have been RWD. FWD auto was really different. Still it was a fun time.

I don't know. Maybe ask Barb (Plays with Cars)?


BTW, if you look closely at the pictures, you can see how dirty SpcyMSP's car is. :eek: :eek: :eek:

I was there but didn't race. I might go again tomorrow. When I left, I clicked my trunk opener and proceeded to try to lift the trunk lid, then realized I was at the wrong car.

You should make your car unique and different ;) put more stickers or something :p

I have a lot of fun test driving all the mazda lineup and learned many interesting lessons, but still have much more to improve :cool:

tent is 20x20 in each city....

The original height we were told was bigger (size matters!)
So our banner is a tad long (inside). Waiting to get a read on the fast passes (never saw them at SanFran or Orange County)... I have an email into Mazda about this...will keep you posted.

Hey are you going to ProtegeFest?

I'd like to but I have to wait until it gets closer to the event. One of my other "hobbies" may have me busy that weekend (sailboat racing). :cool:
