Florida is notorious for crappy long straight roads, no twisties, and very subtle elevation change. To be honest the trip we all took a few weeks back is about as good as it gets around here. I'd love to drive to deals gap but if I were to do that it definately wouldn't be in the car:nono: I'd be on the bike for sure. My ass would hurt after the first couple hundred miles, but once there, it'd be worth it. |
ya know what - i'd be for a deal's gap run, too. In fact, I could ask Mary (or get one of y'all) to drive my wife's truck as a support vehicle, including a bike trailer (if we could source one) for your ass. :p

I agree with soul.. as far as interesting roads around here this place sux. There is always an scca meet every month a little west of mobile AL. Very small cone course, usually lots of people, and you get to see all sorts of classes from old school race porsches to beat up corollas. I was the only one in BS but there were two other rx8s. Next one is july 25th i think. Just an idea. Check out the website www.gulfcoastregionscca.org would be kinda cool to pull up with 10 or so rx8s.

well is there anything north of us? maybe something in the al area...

Ok folks I wanted to share some news with everyone.... Today I was contacted by a local Mazda dealer looking to sponsor some events/ meetings. I have put a couple of phone calls in to some organizations that might help us produce a very interesting meet or two. If you guys have any ideas let them fly... The follow up email I recieved today to my phone conversation: Hey James, What we would like to offer in sponsoring the local club would be a location to meet for club meetings and for meet and greets. You would have access to use our canopy for other shows that you attend in the area. All club members will get a discount on parts and accessories. I will work on a discount for service but don’t foresee that being a problem. We are here to help the club and want to offer things to you that you will find of value. If you have any ideas of what you would like us to provide for the club let me know and I’ll see what we can do. What we want to get out of it is exposure and to get others excited about Mazda products also. Too, we are having our Grand Opening on July 2nd between 3-8pm. We will be having a drawing for a big screen TV, snacks, cold drinks and all current Mazda owners will get a coupon for a free oil change. We would love for you guys to meet here if at all possible. Either way let me know what you think of the sponsorship and starting up a club in our area. Thanks nice talking with you. Sandy Sansing Mazda |
