2009 Grand-Am Daytona RX8 team invite

Going to the 2009 Daytona 24? Stop by and say hello.

The Koni Sports Car Challenge race is Friday the 23rd in the afternoon. Just like every race, I welcome the chance to meet you and the othe fellow Mazda bretheren.

Currently there are 5 RX8's registered for the Koni race on Friday and 3 MX5's. The MX5's of Freedom Autosport out of Tallahassee ran the fastest times of the Daytona test last weekend and we were right behind them on Sunday. 2nd and 3rd fastest on Monday afternoon.

Stop in and say hello. I get the "race fan" thing as not too long ago I was the guy with the camera taking pics of the 3 rotors, the DP cars and the ST RX8's. Gotta love the sound of the 3 rotor.

Grand-Am is putting together a specail VIP tour for Mazda owners. Contact marlon Sumlin at fishline9572@aol.com for more info.

Happy rotoring

Eric

PS Make sure you seek me out. Ask any of the team and they will hunt me down.

Hey Eric,

It's great to see you reaching out to us fans like that. I think that's what sets Grand-Am apart from the other autosports. While I can not make it down to Daytona I wish you the best of luck. I'll catch you at Lime Rock for sure.

Bob

i have been to the koni race i think for the last 4 years. it is the best bang for the buck you ever will see.

last year it was 15 bucks. you park in the infield, and drive to what ever corner you want to watch..

the not hot pits are open to everyone..

and the racing is very, very good..

beers
