Free Tickets-Homestead KONI Challenge

Yes, free tickets for the KONI Challenge race @ Homestead Florida!!! March 14-15, here is the link for tickets and yes, they'll be a Mazda Corral !!!! This is a part of the Grand-Am experience......http://www.grand-am.com/konitickets/

We will have our dedicated page up for this event, so stay tuned for it, as it will have a full schedule of events and I have a good feeling we'll have parade laps on the track, possible both days. I can tell you this, that MAzda will have the only dedicated car corral at this event.

We are trying to have 100-150 cars each day at the event, so come out and support the Mazda teams and meet some fellow MAzda owners and have a great time.

Kinetic Motorsports brand brand new e92 M3. It was never run in neither of the 2 pre-season tests. 1st lap, 1st race, exiting turn 1 a Mustang taps it in the rear and sends Nick Johnson head on into the pit exit concrete wall at 80 mph. Car is presumed to be TOTALED! cost of a new e92 from BMW Motorsports is $200,000. ouch

Yeah man, tough break for Kinetic. Those guys use to help us out from time to time at the track. Great group of guys, just some bad luck.

Registration for the Mazda Corral

Ok, here is some important information that I received from Eric Meyer and Steve Focazio.

All Mazda owners who are attending the event need to follow these instructions in order to make this event as smooth as possible.

1. You must arrive by 8:30AM, not at 9:00AM. Any one arriving after 9:00 AM will not be allowed entry to the Mazda Corral, nor will you be able to particpate in the parade laps.

The reason for this is quite simple, we have to move our cars through the paddock area, where you have a huge mass of people. We will be marshalled in by Grand-Am staff to the infield where there will be 3 corrals Mazda, Porsche and Mustang.

2. We will be registering you outside of the entrance to the infield, so pull off to the side, come over to the registration area, (we'll have signage up) pick up your parking pass, wrist bands and sign a waiver so you will be able to particpate in the parade laps. You will also be handed a schedule of events, these are voluntary, you do not have to attend, but we highly recommend you check them out.

3. Parade Lap(s)-There will be a mandatory safety meeting @ 10:30 at the Toshiba Hauler. We will go over the rules and check to make sure that all participants have signed the waiver. remember, [B]if your name is not on a signed waiver, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE TRACK, NO EXCEPTIONS, if you miss the meeting, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE TRACK! If you appear to be drunk, buzzed or wasted, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE TRACK.[B]

There will be alot going on in addition to the great racing, we'll have a few surprises for you guys as well. So we'll see you all on Saturday morning, bright and early!
