COME TO THE FESTIVAL!!

After returning from an extended road trip with my RX-8, it's time to start finalizing the plans for the RX-8 Festival. Since the event will be on the NC border, I hope many SE Region RX-8 owners will join us.

To request a registration form (NO ADMISSION FEES!) send me an email at MARX8Festival@aol.com. Registration will assist our planning, promotion and begging for more sponsor prizes. ;)
