Just found out about this. Is anyone here going?

Its not too far from here so I may go Sat. Tried to sign up online but its closed.

Looks like fun.

i'm planning to be there in my RX-7, broken wiper switch be damned :p

A bunch of friends and I signed up for it months ago, so I'll be there Saturday. Also I'll be bringing my new RX-8 along (got it last friday and haven't stopped smiling since). Any other RX-8 owners planning on attending? I'm looking forward to meeting some fellow owners in the DC/Baltimore area.

count me in too! not a current rx8 owner :( but I'll be there. Current 8 owners, I hope you dont mind if i take pictures of your car :p

by the way how would I identify other RX8Forum members :confused:

About 15 MSCW members were there at 7am for VIP/Media half-day and the Friday competition. I was the first Mazda Enthusiast to bring their RX-8 for display at a Rev It Up event. We displayed a total of seven cars today till 6pm. Pictured below are the rotary participants next to the RX-8 tent. (All our 2nd Gen cars had previous commitments) Saturday and Sunday this will be the Mazda Sportscar Club of Washington tent. Thanks to my time on this forum I was able to answer a whole lotta questions for people stopping by to look at the Winning Blue RX-8 and my own Black GT RX-8.

We did the competition for fun today. And it IS a lot of fun. Mazda has produced a very well planned and professional event. Look for a repeat Rev It Up within 24 months due to the success of this tour. No, the autocross vehicles will not be RX-8s next time.:(

If you are in the area, stop by! Competition slots are filled but there is other stuff to see and do. Don't forget to get your free Falken Tire poster. ;) Mazda Rev It Up Information (http://www.mazdarevitup.com)

I will be there on Sunday morning in my silver RX-8.

I was gonna go check it out today, then I got on I-66 and traffic was a bitch, and it was getting really hot out there, so I turned around and went home to enjoy the nice cool AC instead :D

I will drop by the MSCW monthly meet next Wed to check out the new rides!

I was there with my silver rx-8. Saw a blue, black, and blue RX-8. People were checking them out all the time.

Got my insurance today. It went up $158. Sure is a crime when I never had to use it.

Oh well still cheaper then most places so I guess $1,111 for a year isn't bad.

I just love the navi. I'm never getting another car without it. Which will prob be when I get 200k on this car in 10 years. :D

Opps I mean Red for above post.:eek:

Well, I was there all day Friday and Saturday and felt like the local RX-8 "expert" ;) Did see a couple forum members who stopped by. Maybe some others, too, who didn't introduce themselves. Sorry if I missed any of you that came out on Sunday. But the RX-8 had to be parked inside by 6:45 AM and stay till 6 PM. I opted for rest and shade when the alarm went off at 4:30 AM.

And at least two other RX-8 owners picked up some club information. My RX-8 was drawing a lot of attention by locals and the RevItUp staff. Only the Blue and Red pre-production models have been traveling with the 'circus' and several thought the Black looked so much better. (Of course, 10,000 people haven't crawled through mine.) Pictures of my RX-8 will now be in hundreds of photo albums. It may be on the RevItUP site in a day or two as well. Media relations came by and took a couple pictures of us standing by the car in front of the MSCW banner.

I drove the Mazda6 course Friday and Saturday mornings. Improved my time almost a second on Saturday so I was pleased. No where near the leaders, but I didn't expect to be. I thought the entire RevItUp operation was well done and a good marketing tool for Mazda. Mazda must think so, too, because they are already planning RevItUp 2004. Sorry, it won't be RX-8s for the competition. But I would think they would add the RX-8 to the test drive center lineup.
