Looking forward to hear the finalized plans with Star Mazda. It is gonna be a great weekend!
Marlon, have the details been hammered out for where the parking area will be? I won't be bringing my 8 due to a fuel pump issue. I guess I'll be parking the wife's Si with the average folks.

StarMazda is totally on board with this. Spoke to their Communications Director last Saturday. As far as I know, they're planning to have a car on display and someone available to discuss anything and everything under the cowling.
Damn I wish i could be there.
Here's a StarMazda at VIR press kit.

To all attending:
Marlon will be on site around 7am to get things setup at the corral. I will be there by 830 and will be getting a hold of Star Mazda. I believe we need to meet at the Toshiba transporter around 9 or 10 so we can hand out the raffle tickets and go over some things with everyone.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Although HOT! That was a great weekend! Thanks for all of the organization. Please let us know how we can appropriately comment to the right people in order to get even more support from Mazda.
msumlin, you mentioned there was a good connection for me to try in order to get some Mazda feedback about our club here in Central Virginia. Any help is appreciated.
