I will be there on friday, with a few of my Ohio boys intow, don't worry Vic, I will get Lauri to make you some brownies. I will post our schedule on the site early next week, so we keep things organized and running smoothly!

I don't know which car i will be driving, the wagon or the MSP, more than likely the Spicy Orange car. Looking forward to it guys.....

 

Great to see you're coming Marlon!

 

Sweet Marlon, thanks for the almost update! haha! Don't have Lauri make a special batch brownies just for me, I'm on a diet these days. See you all next weekend.

Marlon I will give you a call this weekend from VIR, I will be attending the SCCA races going on there on Saturday.

 

The CVMC tent should go up sometime Friday as well. We've got people coming and going all weekend. Work seems to screw with everyones plans.

Any more of you guys camping?

Thanks to Mike for the leg work on Star Mazda connection, this is going to be a great relationship for all Mazda owners.

 

Great work guys. We really appreciate it!

Bob

 

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!

Nic

 

Very nice turn out today! Great to see the #70 take a podium finish and awesome that the #30 and #40 were able to stay in the top 10!!! Sorry I had to bounce before the race. I will try and be out there tomorrow morning for the days events...

 

Fantastic event today. The turnout was very impressive. Great stuff. Thanks to everyone who made it happen. Marlon, Piloti, Mazda, The race teams, anyone I may have forgotten because I'm kindof tired hahaha.

I have to work tomorrow so I will not make it back for Sunday's festivities.

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.
