As the flier states, we will be having our second annual meet in conjunction with the Grand Am series at LimeRock Park in Lakeville, CT. Some more details are being hammered out as we speak. We are working with Mazda to sponsor the food for all those who attend. We are also working with Speedsource and Riley Racing to get into the paddocks and drool all over the 20b RX8's!

As of right now this event will be free of charge for admittance, but Limerock is working out the details.

Worst comes to worst it will be a huge meet with the NYRA and NJRA at a great venue. http://www.limerock.com/content/track-track-map

As time moves forward I will let people know if we are BBQing (all will chip in) or they are providing. We should have a very large tent for all of us to hang under.
P.S. Beer can be consumed, but no drinking and driving.

The meet will start around 12:00pm, but we are having a pre meet and cruse at 10:15am at the usual spot in Stamford (leaving at 10:30am). The Park & Ride off the Merritt Parkway exit 35 (High Ridge Rd).


Tickets for the rest of the event can be purchased through the Lime Rock ticket office for Friday, Saturday and Monday. The main race will be Monday and we will be gathering again to root on the rotary teams!

Very nice, but we have a thread for this event.

 

Um, no you dont. This is for the CT people. It s scheduled meet for my crew in conjunction with the NYRA and NJRA. This is a specific meet on the 25th, not the whole event. If you wuld like to come, please do.

 

john dont be talkin smak on the 8 forum now, its nice and quiet w/o u 7 rowdies comin on here n causing trouble

Im in, btw

 

No smack talking here, just putting it out. Its a meet inside of the event, corrdinated by the people bringing the event itself.

 

I'm in!

 

mmmmmm..... meat inside of meet! whats on the grill?

 

im there

 

Gotta love meat...the kind you cook on the grill.

 

i still regret missing the hooters meet, so believe me when i say im gunna do whatever i can to be there.

 

Brians meat? He said something about a small portable grille, not a big Weber.

 

I'm eyeballing your meet.


Cruise, you say? Something more than just the ride north to Limerock?


I'm definitely interested, and should be able to make it.

 

Yeah, we will look into doing a local cruise up at Limerock. I dont know the area, so it may be an informal thing. The meet is picking upsteam as we have people from all over coming up. Some are staying the whole weekend! I think hanging out and having a nice BBQ with friends in such a great location is going to be awesome.

 

gotcha. I'm going to try to head up regardless of the 'cruise' portion.


with no event on Sunday will we still be able to drool over the cars in the corral?

 

Are us MASSHOLES invited? If it helps I do like to consider mtself an honorary member of the NYRA. Notice the decal





Bob

 

see ya there. IF we get lost we have navigations lol

 

if me and john get our way we may soon have MARA (Massachussets Rotary Association). We are working out the kinks as we speak

I apologize for not puting you up on the site this entire time.

 

Hey Jason,

It's all good. I'm glad you invited me down to Bear MTN. I'm going to try to make it down this year.

Bob

 

i'm going!

MARA, you say?

 

Driving down from Montreal for my 1st time at Lime Rock... will be in town Sunday with my GF. Do you accept Canucks?

 

As long as its a rotary canuck!

Dont worry about bringing food that day, we got yah covered because of the long drive. Unless you bring some of the high octaine Canadian beer!

 

It's all good - Mendossa's cool!



for a canuck anyway.

 

Update: The met and greet with the racers has been arranged for Sunday in the paddocks. There will be no charge as of this date for coming into Limerock Park on Sunday the 25th. We will have at least one BBQ, so if you have one, bring it along. Also, please make sure you bring something to contribute to the food.

 

MAZDASPEED CORRAL AT LIMEROCK FOR GRAND-AM SERIES

We know many of you have purchased tickets for Fri,Sat, and Monday and we wanted to complete the weekend. Those of you who didnt purchase any tickets but want to come and have a car meet, feel free to join us. PLEASE DO!!!!

So all you rotary guys should definately come out and chill. You may also have the opportunity to have a meet and greet with the Mazda Race Teams (Speedsource, Riley Racing, Hypersport, Racers Edge, Roar Racing etc). Not 100% but damn near close.

We will be refining this portion in the oncoming weeks.

Only 1 thing you need to do is fill out a WAIVER, saying that if anything happens to you the park is not responsible.

***Reason for pre-registering was to try and obtain some more $$$ from Mazda to sponsor catered lunches for all attendees. We were unable to get that (Come prepared), but all those that have pre-registered are guarenteed to get a Mazdaspeed Tshirt/Hat. We will def try to get extras so everyone can have some, and im pretty sure we can work that out with Mazda USA/Mazdaspeed.

Last year me and john found this nice little italian spot that has some really good heroes (eh um i mean WEDGE). I can def try and find that address and give it to you guys, its only about 15 minutes from the park.

I hope all this info helps summarize it all. I will be very busy in the oncoming weeks with projects, tests, and then Finals, so i wont be around as much.

So please come out and join the CTRA hosted meet at Limerock Park on Sunday, its FREE!.

Best Regards,

Jason, NYRA

 

I'm there for the entire event. Voluntering as well for Marlon.
