The KONI Schedule has not been released, but KONI will be running at a number of these events with the DP & GT cars. I am working on trying to get us a special December Test package for DAytona as well. So stay tuned for future updates, as we are sure to be adding additional Mazda Corral for both KONI and Rolex Series events.

Awesome. I will definitely be at Lime Rock, and probably Daytona and New Jersey.

I'll be at Barber and Mid-Ohio for sure. I'd really like to get to Lime Rock (my old stomping grounds), but we'll see about that one.

They will be. The Grand-Am schedule came out and Miller is next to last race. However I was looking forward to the Laguna Seca race in May like this year and they took it off the schedule Cant believe that their is no race in Cali.

Sure would like to experience Daytona or Lime Rock. Long way to drive for me.

Any update on buying tickets for us Mazda owners for the June Mid-Ohio races? They have the full weekend schedules out now, and I plan to make hotel reservations today or tomorrow. I'd like to get my tickets as soon as I can, too.

We have begun prelim talks with Mid-O, we will let you know when we have all of the details worked out, so stay tuned for updates. Remember, we will have special pricing for our members.

Thanks for the update. I'm excited to attend the races. Apparently, I waited too long for hotel reservations, though! I had to go to Ashland over 30 minutes away to find a decent hotel. Oops.

We have someone working on hotels/motels already and we are going to work on camping for our members as well. I will keep you informed, once things have been finalized.

I became a new owner of a 2009 Mazda RX-8 three weeks ago. I am planning on attending Lime Rock over Memorial Day weekend, and have just become aware of the car corral that weekend. In an attempt to purchase a ticket it says i need a password. Is this something I can just look up or does it need to be provided to me (and by who)?

Indy is running this event and decided not to let us have a corral. So, we are now working VIR, Lime Rock, Watkins Glen and Mid-Ohio.

I went to the IndyRX8Club site and saw no mention of this. Is there another Indy club?

IRL/Indy Cars are running this event, so they have the final say. Sorry Al, not the Indy RX8 club.
