Is there any vending or swapping of parts at the meet? I'm looking for a few things and plan on showing up with a beer budget and a parts budget. Which may vary depending on my success at finding people with one or the other in which to spend my money on.

Anyone know if Racingbeat is doing an open house on Sunday?

There is a vending license to be had, so some people will be selling stuff for sure.

Cool. Thanks. I guess I'll have to find you guys and buy a few rounds before I go parts shopping so I don't blow my whole budget on the car.:)

Seriously though I'm looking forward to finding as many of the RX8 club regulars out there as I can and meeting you all in person for a few beers.

Look for the black "MazdaManiac.com" and red "Paradox Performance" banners on a blue 10'x10' tent next to three BB, FI RX-8s.
I bet you will be able to catch up with many of the regulars there.

excellent! Now I just have to figure out how to get through the next 11 days...:Eyecrazy:

ironically enough ill be in LA next weekend... so ill def make it down to SSX.
ill be easy to spot. just look around for the tall bearded guy.

I will stop by and say hi

How about some official vendor instructions?
When is the setup on Friday? When can we get access to our booth again on Saturday?
When do we roll vendor vehicles in and out on Saturday?
What is the power situation?
Etc.

only one week to go!!!

yeah, how do I sneak my car into the Vendor section? :D:

I'm getting rotary bumps all over my body :)

Vendors will set up along Gateway, yes outside on the street (it will be CLOSED all day because of SevenStock). If you're a Vendor, you will be getting instructions from James or LC beforehand, but I'll run down these quick questions.

Vendor setup will occur AFTER business hours on Friday, Mazda and their neighbors will still be working till the bell rings that Friday.

I don't know what you mean by "roll vendor vehicles in/out". Once cars are parked, they will NOT move until the event is over. Your cars SHOULD be parked in the vendors area by 8am on Sat morning.

As in ALL previous SS's, there is NO power for Vendors. That is my understanding, unless you have made special arrangements that I am not aware of.

For ALL participants who will be parking in the main Mazda lot for SSX, you will be required to stay until at LEAST 2pm, please remember that. If you have to go before that, then leave your car at the staging area and walk over to the festivities.

I had a question, that im sure previous attendees can answer. If i am not able to arrive until later in the day (11amish)... do i park like normal (following the yellow lines) or is there seperate parking available for people arriving late?

BigO: if you show up by 11, the lot will be full. You'll just park out on the street

Shoots, sounds good. Hopefully there will be enough street parking!!!

Hopefully I wont be parking at someones house and taking a cab - LOLZORS!!!!!!

NO street parking. You will park in that same lot we stage the cars in. Thanks and see you all Saturday :)

I found it difficult to get an RX-8 rental, especially one with a large enough trunk to fit a renesis and a supercharger kit. So, embarrasingly, I've booked a Chevy HHR to get myself to and from LAX and all the running around in-between I need to do.

So I guess that will mean it will be easy to spot me. I hope i'll be cut some slack!

Cheers,
Hymee.

k, ill just print out the map above and follow the yellow brick road :)

Thanks for the Info.

-hS

LOL - i dont think anyones gonna be complaining.

same here, I try to find at least a mazda6 an could not, all I got was an explorer :(

gotta rent from hertz and specifically ask for a mazda- i got a mazda5 during my trip to Atlanta. Mr. Barnes says thats what they always do. Hertz has 3s, 6s and Mazda5s in their fleet

I ask them thay said they dint have any, maybe it has something to do with sevenstock

I'm debating on whether to bring my paintless dent removal kit and charge a fee to remove people's dents.

^ not a bad idea at all, I might bring all 3 of my wheels so I can sell it for cheap.....lol
