I better have my freakn' clear corners by then.
You may be able to even sit in the car, depending on the schedule of events. Sylvain usually gives a tour of his hauler, and will answer questions along with David Haskell and Nick Ham. Matt and Marty, the crew chiefs are more than willing to share their knowledge too.

You guys will have a great experience and we can make this an annual event, like we are doing with Lime Rock!

Columbus area folks, we can set a meeting point on the north end of town and caravan on up. The rest of you folks we can meet up there.

Come celebrate the first day of summer and cheer the Speedsource guys on to another win!

Details at http://www.grand-am.com/rolex/schedule/event.cfm?eid=14

See you there!
Don't forget about us KONI Challenge guys! So far there are 48 entries in the ST class...including 9 RX-8's!!! Also, make your way by the ROAR Racing truck...we are always glad to the fans come by!

If we do end up combining our efforts, I will see if Mazda will lobby for us to do a couple of laps. It has to go through Grand Am and Koni as well.

My wife bakes brownies for the teams only, no Cleveland6club members had any at all! SpeedSource, Hyper Sport, Racers Edge and ROAR Racing got them. The other teams we're the SWC TC Teams, Tri-Point, Tindol Motorsports and Horton Motorsports...

Hell, she doesn't bake brownies for me!!!!

Good luck brownies. She brings them brownies so often that the teams look forward to her brownies. So much so, that I think it's slowly becoming superstition among the various Mazdaspeed Motorsports teams (Tri-Point, Tindol, SpeedSource, etc.).

I was the first one at Lime Rock to set up, and the first thing they wanted to know was when she was coming with the brownies.
