What does all think? It would be a great time to get together and show off a little.

Me thinks it sounds like a great idea! I can't say for sure, but I definitely want to be a part of Mazfest.

I plan on being there Saturday. Talk it up and get as many as we can. Charlie said he was also going to be there---he thought.

Do you mind Miata's? I will be there Sat with you, but if I am trolling the Miata boards I might find a whole group willing to go.

I have some folks that are interested in going.
But no idea on where to tell them to look for us.
Is there a spot for the usual hang out?

Yea, when you enter, cross over the Turn 11 bridge, on the right in the turn 10 complex there is a terraced area. We usually put up a couple Easy-up's about half way down toward the flag stand in 10A. That's usually home base. I'm usually all around the track with my Nikon D200 shooting more pics than I will be able to manage in 3 weeks.

I'm coming up Saturday/Sun morning. This is going to be a huge event for fun. Probably the most fun event of the year at RA. Just read this page of events: http://speedfest.classicmotorsports.net/

We can get on the track, we just will not have enough to get on as a group. 20 + is the group thing, unless I read it incorrectly.

Yep!
"Tire Rack Club Parade Laps
Every club that has more than 20 members at the Mitty will get to hit the track for parade laps courtesy of the Tire Rack. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere at the historic Road Atlanta circuit. Individuals can also sign up for parade laps on a first-come, first-served basis."

Hi guys-

You should have no trouble hitting the 20 person mark as MazdaFest is planning on combining all mazda's in attendence into a corral. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Awesome, thanks Marc!

So we get to drive for free? How much time do we get on track?

Silver,
Why don't we all meet in the Mazda corral and sign up as Mazda Car Corral? Easy enough to move about once we get there, but we can prolly insure ourselves track laps, some free swag, etc. If they are gonna set it up, why not see what it is all about?

Yep, I will be parked in the corral. Did last year too. They will put all the RX-8's together and they slap a sticker on your windshild. I think that is your pass for the touring laps. We were right across road from where we park our ***. After crossing the bridge at T11, on the left hand side of the road. Don't know if it will be the same place or not.

Will do Marc,
be nice to meet you. Looks like we will hit the paddock Sat, and set up viewing facilities inside turn 10A.
Rx8's in packs are usually pretty easy to spot!
