Maybe we should start a tally of how many we have coming from each club? Sort of a motivational thing.

NC Rotaries ... ?
Cleveland6 Club ... ?
Central Virginia Mazda Club ... ?
What other group Greg?

NC Rotaries has 13 confirmed and 11 maybes. The maybe may all turn into confirmed as the event gets closer.

Also Marlon, do we have a soft schedule of events and times so I may pass the info along? Mostly, when and where the viewing/lunch with Freedom will take place.

You can count me in the CVMC numbers. I'm trying the camping thing this year, but I'll come up Saturday morning.

It looks like kids under 16 are free? Last year I had to buy a ticket for my daughter at the gate. Does anyone know for sure?

Well thanks to G-Rex, the CVMC is up to a whopping 5 cars! Yes, I'm a bit embarrassed. But we're late bloomers, there will be more.

NC Rotaries ... 13
Cleveland6 Club ... 5
Central Virginia Mazda Club ... 5

I am sure we'll have others that will show as the word gets out and the date draws nearer. We'll have a schedule up next week, as soon as I firm up things with Freedom.

Thanks Marlon, I think I might sleep in the car Sat night...there's something about waking up to the smell of race fuel in the morning.

I know that Team MER will be by with Jason Saini, Mark Miller and more, they are good friends. Also Stan Wilson and Randy Hale, as we have relationship with them as well.. If you've never seen a MX-5 cup race, you are in for some great racing..

I am looking forward to it ias well, can't wait to get back on that track again. Should be a lot of fun, especially if we get a large number of Mazda owners to come out and join us.

Sorry forgot to add, NC Rotaries will also be bringing along 2 different Miata groups that we will be either be meeting with in Raleigh for breakfast or picking up along the way on our way to VIR.

Depending on how many of the Miata actually make it, this should add another 15-20 vehicles to our caravan!

Marlon, I'll give you a call that Friday to confirm with you if I need to go to the registration area to pick up the pass or just meet with you inside somewhere. Thanks again.

You just need to go to registration and pick up your pass. If you need anything else, please let me know.

Are there many in your groups that are camping? It would be fun to have an area we could all park our tents ... and our cars.
