Cool, I'll try to see if I can get it in google video...or some sort of form to upload to the site. The sound of them is incredible. The rest of the cars have a deep growl (the vettes sound like crap) as they fly by, and then the 8's scream by...it's a great sound! I asked one of the mechanics at the paddock if they wanted to do a quick engine swap on their off-day, and that I'd be happy to leave my car there overnight for them to work on it. They just laughed and decided against it.
Find a guy named Marlon (and his wife....sorry, I can't remember her name right now though) when you go...I bet he'll be at the GT race. he's from Ohio, and he organized the whole Mazdaspeed corral, and knows all of the different Mazda race teams. He'll take you right in the paddocks and introduce you to the teams and drivers...you can check out the cars up close and personal. He has us all hooked up at Limerock this weekend. Definitely hunt him down!!

They were great pics Josh. I can't was to see the ones from Memorial Day.
Good to meet Astral, DRKSYDE and the other guys there (not exactly sure how many 8 owners I met). Maybe I'll see you at the Northeast Exotic Car Show this year.

That was such a great day. I wish I had time to come over and say hi to all of you at the Mazda speed tent. That was the last day I did anything with the Miata. Other than go to and from work. But it is way better driving the 8 than the Miata...
