We are proud to announce the second annual event date has been set. Due to the success of last years event and the maturity shown by our guest, MazdaMeets.com was able to work out an ANNUAL deal with Road Atlanta and the SCCA.

Mazdameets.com will be hosting Zoom-Fest '09 on July 18-19th at the infamous Road Atlanta course, which offers a gorgeous 2.5 mile track, 750 acres, and close proximity to all needed amenities. This again will be a 2 day festival type event for all Mazda and Mazda powered vehicles. We strive to deliver a safe and enjoyable weekend where you can meet new people, hang out with some old faces and take your car to the limit!

Over the next few months the organizers will be finalizing all the details. We will keep you up to date as more information becomes available. The things we do know at this time will help you plan for the weekend.

* Guest can show up as early as Friday Morning!
* Camping will be allowed, and encouraged!
* All ages are welcomed!
* There will be numerous opportunities to drive the race track, including a PDX (3 - 20 minute sessions with a driving instructor - At Speed!)
* Swap Meet - No charge to sell your extra parts!
* Saturday night outdoor movie!
* Much, much more to be announced!


We hope to see you there. Please keep an eye out for updates posted at MazdaMeets.com.

This will be a tough decision.
Zoom-fest, Rolex Grand Am, or HPDE at Lowe's - all the same weekend!

At least I know to have my vacation request in..

 

That sucks, man. With a forum as active as here, there will always be conflicts during the summer, but at least you've got plenty of time to decide.

We'll see [some of] y'all there!

 

Can't wait! Last year was awesome!

 

Any idea on how much this will cost?

 

i'm in!

how much?

 

I don't remember the entry cost, maybe about $50 bucks or so. But I do remember the PDX was about $150 bucks. All-in-all it's well worth the caysh! 3 day's of races events and badass mazda's.
Definitely a good investment!

Hope to see you guys there!

 

Sounds good to me, Count me in!

 

Negative, Ghostrider.

Last year's event cost $15 to preregister for Zoom-Fest and entitled you to a discounted admission of $15 to Road Atlanta. Road Atlanta also charged $5 per car, independent of whether you were there for Zoom-Fest or the SCCA races. The PDX cost $100 payable directly to the SCCA.

With the new year upon us, we're only now able to sit down with the Atlanta Region SCCA to plan the '09 event, but we hope to keep the costs consistent with last year. We'll also have an autocross this year, which may add a few bucks for those that participate, though it'll be independent of the Atlanta Region's Solo II classes, points, etc. We'll likely have 2 or 3 classes just for fun, or perhaps split it up by major models (FB, FC, FD, FE, MX-5, Protege, etc.).

There's still a lot in the air, and it's too early do discuss final pricing, but last year's event wasn't nearly that expensive.

Once we get the autocross off the ground and can start planning its associated costs, we'll let everyone know. Again, it's too early to talk specifics, but it shouldn't hurt the wallet too bad.

 

Awesome Crit! Glad you cleared that Up!
Cheers

 

subscribed and interested.

 

I'm in, but I'll probably bring my Fd instead of the Cosmo this year so i can get some track time!!!!!

Is the track lapping an option this year as well?

 

^^ Yes, the track lapping is an option again this year as well. SO is the PDX and autox/time attack.

Registration is now open:

The event will also be featured in Grassroots Motorsports magazine. So don't miss out on one awsome weekend!

 

^Are the 3 (20 minute run sessions) included with the $30 entry fee? Or is that an extra cost.

 

^ what i'm wondering as well

 

Here's the info and Link!

Calling ALL mazdas!!!!


9) How much does the PDX cost?
- Your Zoom-Fest registration allows you to sign up for the event at a special $100.00 rate. This includes a temporary SCCA membership (A $60 savings). The membership is required to run a PDX event. If you are already a SCCA member you can choose the standard entry rate.

We are happy to announce a number of great things were finalized over the last week.

First, We would like to welcome a few new sponsors for the event.

* Great American Sign Company has again signed up for this year and will be responsible for another superb quality event T-Shirt. Anyone who has one of last years shirt will tell you - They are top notch. http://www.greatamericansignco.com/
* Grassroots Motorsports Magazine has joined us this year. Along with product for the raffle there will be an add run in the next issue as well as an event article in the following issue. http://grassrootsmotorsports.com
* RotaryCarClub.Com has signed up this year as the "rotary forum" sponsor. I have known one of the owners for a number of years now. We are proud they have embraced the event and together we can build awareness on the East Coast for Mazda and Mazda powered vehicles as well as American road racing and AutoX.
* Re-Speed will of course be very active this year. Re-Speed plans to introduce a bunch of brand new items for the old school rotaries at the event.
* http://www.rotorsportsracing.com has joined for this year. They will be over from NC with a product showcase.
* We have been working with a number of other potential sponsors that have responded to our inquiries. Once they finalize their involvement we will announce them as well.

Second, through diligent efforts form the Zoom-Fest promoters the "Time Attack" style AutoX is 100% a go. We have secured the "skid pad" area of the Road Atlanta facility and the Atlanta Region SCCA will operate the event for us. This is a Zoom-Fest exclusive event. It has been setup for novices through pros and stock cars though full blown race. There will be awards for "FTD" in at least 4 classes. This is a huge deal for this years event!

Last but not least, registration is open!

You can sign up for the event here -> http://www.mazdameets.com

You can also find the answers to all you questions in the FAQ -> http://www.mazdameets.com

 

Ok Since I'm a member of SCCA already, I have to pay the "standard" rate...What is the standard rate...

 

^^^Anyone care to answer my question...

 

IIRC, the fee for a non SCCA member to participate in the PDX is $125. For Zoom-Fest participants the SCCA will be providing them with a temporary SCCA membership for the weekend. For SCCA members, or anyone who is registered for Zoom-Fest, the fee for the PDX is reduced to $100. I hope this clears everything up. Sorry for the delay in my response.
