HSR Mitty Challenge-April 29th
The HSR Mitty Challenge this year spotlights Japanese sports cars. Last time I checked we all owned one of those, and I think we need to get out there and represent the Mazda marque with pride.
When: Saturday April 29th Where: Road Atlanta Cost: $25 There will be plenty to do, including throwing a Lotus Elise and a MINI around an autocross course. :mrgreen: I am going to go, who else wants to go too? |
Count me in for sure. Downing is bringing all the stuff we saw including the 792p. I wont have the 7 finished yet but ol blackie will be polished up and ready.
|
great, old chaz is gonna show up and make the rest of us look bad with his 204 whp and fancy wheels. great. ;) J/K, glad you can make it, it will be a lot of fun.
Between here and the GA Forum, I think the attending list is as follows: Attending L8APEX TrackAddict SilverEIGHT asmoran Marietta 8 anyone else, add your name to the list... |
I plan on making this as well. Can't pass up an opportunity to watch some 3 and 4 rotor action. Is Jim tracking them out on the track? They are also having a Mazda corral since Mazda is hosting it.

Have you guys ordered your tickets yet? On the RA site it looks like there are no advanced purchases.
|
Looks like it is gate admission only. That does not surprise me, since it is not likely to sell out, or run out of room.

very cool, the group is growing. We will have to set up a good meeting point the morning of, and caravan out there. Not that we don't know where it is, it just looks cool to have a line of us go down the road.
|
yeah, looks like some fun to be had. But whats not to like.
|
L8, Don't forget to bring the banner. I'll bring the easy-up.
|
iwill need a reminder about that a few days before. the banner is in the storage unit, not hard to get to, but I might forget.
|
I will have event posters this week for the group. They are really cool as they feature the Racing Beat 1rst gens from the late 70's. Some of you younguns might not remember that Mazda made a neat little sports car back before some of you were born but it's true and they won a buttload of races.
It's looking like our favorite manufacturer is going to be very well represented. I hope to pick up posters tomorrow so those that are interested need to speak up via my email address. I don't check pm often enough so hit me up at the shop if you want one. (freeeeeee!!!) |
You should be ashamed of yourself, making us get on our knees and beg like little puppies for a chew toy! . . .
I WANT ONE.... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Can I please have one! Please! Email sent! :fingersx: |

Thanks ROTORX7Holly
|
I DO remember those cars! And I'm not even that old (by tree standards). Freebies! Zip, Nada.... Email sent.
|
email sent. I may not have been but about 7 when I remember seeing my the 1st gen Rx-7, kinda like the one that lego has, but I liked it then, and almost bought one when I was in high school.
ROTORX7Holly, thanks for the heads up on the advance purchase option, I will get mine there if they are as cheap as you say. To all of you going, are you going for Saturday, Sunday or both? |
Probably both.
|
Your welcome guys. Hope to see lots of Rotary Powered vehicles there.
Holly |
Good lord that's a lot of options......
What's everyone else doing? |
I will be doing Saturday only. I have too much to do to takt he whole weekend off.
|
If you guys want your own space within the "Sports Cars of Japan," send me an e-mail at Bill@ClassicMotorsports.net. I'll be setting up the corral areas Thursday and will make a sign and rope off an area for you guys.
Regards, Bill P.S. We will be doing an all Japanese parade lap Sunday with Mazda drivers in the front. |
of course we would like our own space. I will send you an email right now. Thank you very much for the offer, that is awesome.

L8, I think strapping the banner to one of our cars is appropriate for this if it is OK with officials. Hot damn! This just keeps getting more exciting every day. Thanks Bill, you just made my day. |
OK guys, this is important. We have space reserved.
I am supposed to give them an official car count on April 14th. So anyone that wants to go, needs to make it known by April 14th. Or you will not be in the car corral. Space there is tight, so we need to make sure we have everyone accounted for, I don't want anyone to get left out. |

I'll be attending. I just need to read the rest of the thread to see where to buy tickets.
|
since we have the coral area which tickets do we need to buy to be able to park in coral? Just the Saturday or the Saturday with infield parking?
|
Just give me the count for Saturday. That should cover Sunday too. Get your tickets and more info at www.TheMitty.com
|
Cool. What about track touring on Saturday? Can we do that as a car club? Is that part of the ticket?
|
We're going to try to give everyone who buys an infield parking pass one FREE parade lap session so you can do it either Saturday or Sunday. There's only one parade lap on Saturday and three on Sunday. The all Japanese parade lap is going to be on Sunday. You will be able to sign up for these at the Classic Motorsports tent on a one-per-car, first come, first served basis.
HSR will offer Track Touring opportunities on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting. For just $35 you can take your car on Road Atlanta and get an idea of what it would feel like to race there. While you can’t go full-throttle, you do get to travel at a decent clip. Two- and three-day packages are also available at www.TheMitty.com. |
Guys, looks like we tour on Sunday!
|
Fun fun! I am now going Sat and Sunday :) Iwas going to just do Saturday but this is too much fun to pass up. Last year I got to drive an Elise around the autocross course. I can't wait to do that again.

My dear friends,
It is with great regret that I break the news to you, my cherished "EasyUp" was taken away from me last night as the rains filled the canvas and wind collapsed its fragile metal skeleton. I was using it to cover my son's truck as we did not finish his brake job last night and wanted to keep everything dry. It was a good cover and will be missed by all who had the privilege of sitting under it during it's short existence. Easy was such a dedicated cover and part donor so my John Deere Tractor was the benefactor of a much needed tarp. In leu of flowers, a request for your attendance at The Mitty and taking Sunday Tour laps with the GA RX-8 Club would be much appreciated. Easy will be looking down and smiling as we pass through turn 10A & B. Sincerely SilverEIGHT |
May she rest in peace Silver8. We need a moment of silence.

We don't seem to have much luck with the awnings. I say we look for a white one this time to match our banner!
Count me in for Saturday. Pam |
Very cool guys and gal. Silver, sorry to hear the easy up met its match. Looks like the group is growing, and will be fun. I have managed to talk the wife into letting me attend for part of Sunday, I will not be able to stay the whole day, but I will come out for part of it. I need to get my tickets ordered.

Just bought my ticket. Got the super pass for the weekend including parking. I have never been to this event, and can't wait. Like TA, I would not mind getting behind the wheel of the Elise. I have never driven one.
|
^^ Super Pass ordered!
|
Track Touring on Friday may be fun - fewer people :) See if I can get black flagged...
|
ride with francois...that will do it. I will never forget the red convertible saab screaming through turn 12 in august last year. that was priceless.
As for friday, I will not be out there friday, pushing my luck with being there saturday and sunday. |
