No cars allowed on the track Sunday, but you can actually walk the track! It's kinda cool. Last year some people were riding bicycles on it.

POSTED BY RAY ON MAZDA 6 CLUB

OK here's a brief rundown for Friday:

Corral tickets are no longer for sale. I can't help people that don't have one, unfortunately. Nor will I let them in or allow them to stay. That is just unfair to the track, Mazdaspeed, and the people who purchased corral passes. Recall that there was plenty of advanced notice on this.

I'm going to be there bright and early at around 8-9 AM tomorrow Friday the 23rd getting the Mazdaspeed Shu Go ("Gathering Place") corral set up.

For those never been to the track, here is the Google Maps address:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=White%......sa=N&tab=wl

Enter the track through the White Hollow Rd entrance. After the ticket area, you will go over a bridge. Make a right turn after the bridge to reach the corral. It's in the skidpad, the giant circle on this map:
(IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/...a50cd8a2d2.jpg)

I might recruit a couple of you to help me set up the corral and put up signs. The sooner we get that done, the sooner we head to the paddocks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/5.gif)

Please see the attached schedule. Note that this schedule is subject to change and is very dependent on the racing schedule.

Seeing that Rolex and Koni are going to be busy practicing in the morning, we'll visit the Tri-Point, Tindol, and Horton Motorsports first. We'll visit the RX-8 teams afterwards as they become available after their practice (SpeedSource, ROAR, Racers Edge, and Hypersport).

Note that at 1155, we have a drivers' meeting and pre-grid for our parade lap, where I will brief you on the parade lap.

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH - ATTENDANCE TO THIS DRIVERS' MEETING IS MANDATORY FOR ALL PARADE LAP PARTICIPANTS. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED. IF YOU AREN'T AT THE MEETING, YOU DON'T GO ON THE PARADE LAP.

Afterwards, we will have our parade lap as soon as we are cleared by race control.

Depending on how many teams we have the impromptu meet-and-greets in the morning, we will go back to the paddocks to meet the rest of the teams in the afternoon (as their racing schedule allows). Or, if we met all of them I'll let you guys loose to go wherever you please (watch the practice/qualifying, hang out at the paddocks, hang out at the Shu Go, etc.)

After 6 PM, I will be leaving the track but you guys are free to hang out at the Shu Go

PM me or Marlon for my cell phone number. I am available until 1 AM tonight. I'll check my PMs again before I leave at 0500 or 0600 tomorrow, but after that I will have no access to these forums until Friday night.

To NYCGPS and anyone else who mentioned camping....I called to ask a few questions, and there ARE showers on site. I don't know what that will mean exactly but....yeah. Obviously, there are also bathrooms, but I would recommend bringing your own drinking water. My girl and I will be in a hotel saturday night but camping on-site sunday evening....see everyone then!

Today was pretty sweet. Not huge crowds, and they let us push it pretty hard on the parade laps!

Hey, if anyone wants a set of rain guards that go on the windows, let me know...I'll bring them with me. I'm never going to put them on my car.

I think we're going to have a nice turnout this weekend!
