TO REGISTER: Visit the event link http://www.autobarnmotorsports.com/trackdaysinfo.html and fill out the registration form. Contact Joe Moulton at the Autobarn to arrange registration/payment. Payment can be taken via credit card over the phone.

This event is sanctioned in association with the Mazda Owners Club of America (www.MazdaOCA.org) with instructors provided for each run group.

 

Forgot to mention - this event includes breakfast, lunch and end of the day social time. Great event with lots of benefits!

 

Will this void my warranty with Mazda? I'm especially concerned since I bought mine from Autobarn.

 

As long as it isn't timed, which I am pretty sure it isn't, there is really nothing they can do with your warranty.

 

I may have to wait 'til next time then. My friend decided to get married that Saturday so I might not be in a driving mood on Sunday

 

That is correct - is a non-timed, non-competition event - so warranties are not affected.

Please pass this info on to anyone who you think might be interested!

 

Is this the south course or the north course? In the first post of this thread it says south course, but autobahn's website shows it on their schedule as being the north course?

 

I just talked to Joe at Autobarn. It is the north course. Works out well for me - i just ran the south course and wanted to run the north one separately before trying the full track.

Joe was very helpful on the phone.

 

Sorry everyone - it is the North Course.

 

Bump - this event is THIS coming weekend! Sign up if you haven't already or at the very least - pass the info on to friends you feel might be interested.

Thanks!

 

Marc,

I signed up about a week and a half ago. However, still haven't gotten a confirmation email like he said I was supposed to. Not sure if they haven't come out yet or if they forgot to send it to me. I left him a message yesterday but didn't hear back.

 

Shouldn't, last year the guys from the local dealership were driving cars with stickers still in the windows on the South Course.

 

^ lovely. my car was a demo car, i wonder if my 8 has already seen track time in it's first 1000 miles. it's like doubting that your girl really lost her virginity to you.

i would so love to do this but father's day, my friend's wedding, and my niece's birthday have sucked up my funds for the month

 

Marlon-



Here is youtube of in-car in a Porsche from autobahn north course: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgFWyByKmfM

 

Email me: mmiller@mazdaoca.org and I will make sure you are confirmed. Got any friends coming with you?

 

How much would my friend have to pay if he was to come with?

 

I am not sure what passenger entry passes are - Contact Joe Moulton - here is his number: 847-570-3047

 

Are you coming out for the track day? Hope to see you there! Gotta see this monster you have created.

 

I forgot to mention - the schedule has been beefed up with 4 - THIRTY minute sessions (25-30 technically). LOTS of available track time for sure.

 

MDW....yea I'll be there...I am only doing one track time though. As I just got it back and it isnt fully tuned. I am only boosting 4 PSI for safety. I just want to try out a road course first, and then I think in August ( MVP sponsored?) there is more track time at autobahn. But, we will at least get to see it run for about 25-30 mins haha. I also still may be selling it though, I will have dyno tuned with graphs tuesday. I'll see you there and talk to you more there!

 

Last time I came to watch I think I paid $20 as a spectator PS: it was the track (Autobahn) that charges the entry fee, not the sponsor.

 

I think each entry is allowed one "guess/crew" then additional folks/passengers are charged a fee for the food and entry/pit pass.

 

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

I received a request to offer up the following offer for the Autobarn Mazda Track Days this weekend. We hope many of you or your friends would be interested in taking them up on this.

Due to low registration - Autobarn Mazda & Mazda are offering a 50% discount on either program day. That's right - they are kicking it up a notch providing all registrants a $75 price for 2 hours of track time, Breakfast, Lunch, Event T-shirt & Professional Instruction!

Anyone who has already registred will receive a refund for 50% of their ticket.

We hope that you can share this with all of your contacts and make the effort to contact Joe Moulton @ The Autobarn (847-570-3047) to register or RSVP.

As of right now - this offer is open to anyone - Mazda or otherwise.

 

That is an AMAZING price for any track day, let alone a more expensive place like autobahn. People should jump on this.

 

Just wanted to thank Marc, MOCA, and Autobarn for putting on a great track day yesterday.
