My buddy with the DSLR bailed. I'll be bringing my regular crappy point and shoot.

 

Bringing in
1)24 bottles of water
2)Nikon D70 SLR
3)Sony Cybershit 50.

See you folks tomorrow!

 

I'm awake... and about to leave the house... groggy...

 

See you guys later!

 

That was awesome guys!!! Thanks to Al of Scarboro Mazda, Rev-Illusions, Kafka, Thief, and many others that helped organize it.

I especially liked the fact that the RX-8's went as a group only! Nothing against the other cars, but this arrangement is perfect.

So many photos to post!!! I'll be posting on my facebook accounts, so add me if you wanna see it because I'm not sure if a public link will work. If there are any photos you'd like in full size original form, just pm me with your email address and I'll email it.

 

Yeah, like Footman said, "Thanks to Al of Scarboro Mazda, Rev-Illusions, Kafka, Thief, and many others that helped organize it. " we all had a good time.......... thanks!!!

 

Congrats to Al and the team for winning the race, getting the really BIG trophy, and providing us the opportunity to drive the track!!

 

As said, AWESOME DAY! Congrats to Al and his crew.

Post up pictures people as I need somefor my article.

Thanks,

 

Al, Chris, team....thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!! what a great time.
My parents enjoyed it as well (haha, it worked out so well for me, i look like a good son and i didnt need to lift a finger aside from printing them the tickets and directions) and they got some great pics of a few of the cars (mostly mine and footmans car(guess they thought he was me)...you know how parents are) on the parade lap.
I got a hell of a sun/wind burn on my face. My eyes are burning from the drive home with no cat. my gas tank and wallet are both almost empty. all this and I still had the best time! thanks again all.

 

I too got a sunburn

 

man my face is crispy too!!!

 

Those who have me on Facebook can find pics there. Pics also uploaded to http://s274.photobucket.com/albums/j...20May-10-2009/

Sorry guys I didn't get a lot of pics. My camera didn't charge last night, but Jess ended up taking craploads of pics with Josh's camera on our way up.

 

Nice win Al! Great way to cap off a stellar day.

Couldn't believe how many 8's showed up, very cool!

Big thanks to Chris and Al of organizing and to all the 8 owners that showed up

 

what is your name on facebook???

 

Thanks Al and Scarboro Mazda for organizing.

Good to see some of you again.

Rotarygreg, didn't get a chance to meet you but I guess I see you next week.

 

WOW! Really all the thanks should go to all of you! You made the event by showing up in the numbers that you did. BEMC was thrilled to have everyone and has already invited everyone back next year! When our day started at 9:30am with me almost putting my car in the fence on the 1st corner in morning warm-up, I was dreading the rest of the day (lol). Then the traffic in race 1 and with my guess on tire pressures I still didnt have confidence we would do any better than we did in Race 1. My crew (as usual) made the right call on the tires for the second race and gave me what I needed and allowed us the opportunity to get our 1st win! Chris (Coneman) and his son Curtis have been there since day one, without them the car never would have turned a wheel. Scarboro Mazda plays a huge role in allowing me the opportunity to have the time and never ending support, Steve in parts (who many of you know) has been instrumental in finding things others have said is unavailable. Mark and Kam at Mazmark for giving me the huge power from their 13B.
Once again a special thanks to all my team members:Coneman, Curtis, Jody, Joshua, Chris (RX8), Mark, Kam, and Scarboro Mazda members Tony A, Colin, Brian and Anthony for all their help!

And a real special thanks to the RX8 Club "Torornto Chapter" for your loyal support to ABR and Scarboro Mazda!

ps: See you at Shannonville June 5!

 

Once again, thanks Al and others organizing this....... so many Rx-8 today.........

 

Guys,

I had a great time!

Big thanks to all the people involved in organizing the event.
This year was a big turn out.
Hell, we even had a few of Chryslers concept electric vehicles enjoy the lapping event.

I apologize for not being able to stick around longer. You guys do realize it was Mothers Day, right?
Had to celebrate with the family.

Met some old faces, and of course the usuals.

Thanks for everything! Can't wait for the next meet. (which should be Sherway Gardens this coming weekend! )

See you guys soon,
Chris

 

Awesome day boys and girls! What a turn out!! Thx for organizing Al, Chris and others!

Congrats again Al on the big win, was cool as hell watching you fly past the finish line in first!!
