NO It plays part way through and then it is just noisy. I'm not sure if I did somethong wrong, or what. I am very tired and will redownload quicktime pro. It got stuck at like 92%, so that may be the problem.

Hey everyone - Thanks for coming out! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and got more than they expected. I'm really sorry I didn't get to spend more time and meet all of you but I was extremely busy the entire weekend.

Classic Motorsports magazine and Mazda are the sponsors of The Mitty for at least the next two years, so expect to not only see many of the same Mazda race cars that were there this weekend, but MANY more. There isn't much chance of the green and orange 787B showing up, but we're already working hard to get one of the white ones there.

For marketing and sponsorship reasons "The Sports Cars Of Japan" can't be the feature next year (one of the other areas will be). We want to see you guys represent the rotary again next year and maybe even be in charge of "The Sports Cars Of Japan" area.

Let me know what you liked and what you didn't like so I can work to make The Mitty even better next year!

Regards,
Bill

Liked:
1. F-1 car
2. Mazda Race
3. Track Touring with extended time (AWESOME)
4. Elise AutoX
5. Cars sectioned off by country
6. Skid pad (ummmm, maybe it should be offered as another activity so we wouldn't have to accidentally get on it by mistake)

Did not like:
1. Weather ( I understand you may not have much control over this one)
2. Procurement of Track Touring pass. Was not clear where to purchase and where to get in line.

I re-downloaded the video tonight and it worked fine. For some reason it didn't all download last night.

Great footage Don That will be nice to continue to view throughout the year.

Thanks,
Holly

Classic Motorsports magazine will pay the balance of the tent if you promise to fly our Classic and GRM flags at all your events. I'll supply them too. E-mail Bill@GrassrootsMotorsports.com to let me know how much you need. Consider it a thank you for supporting the Monterey of the East!

Regards,
Bill

Boosted... It would be nice to have a contribution to the club. We are not trying to make extra moneys, just pay for the E-Z right now. wmac is generously making a contribution to complete or close to completing. If you want to send some to TA... just PM him and he will give you his PayPal info. TrackAddict is our most honorable Treasurer and keeper of the kittty. Thanks Boostd for your support.

Nice shots TorqueAholic. You have a good eye for photography. I like your multiple car shots and turn #6 is a great place to get some action.

Nice seeing a lot of you up there. Don, a pleasure as usual. Ryan, great to have been able to spend a few with you. Holly, always a joy. I saw Charlie's car but never got a chance to see him in person on Saturday. I got some nice tape of the 4 rotor cars idling, really cool. I'm so happy that Mazda's going to be involved with this for another 2 years. John Doonan said we can expect a 787 next year.
Paul.
