I'd be interested in an emanage/piggyback tuning clinic for the 8. If racing beat is there, I'd like to hear about how their ECU project is going.

also maybe a clinic on suspension tuning if that has enough appeal.

Well I swear I lost half my tread on my first track day at Calf. Speedway.

Ah......... Rotors can wear out if you push it hard. They'll warp.

The new 05's have bigger rotors up front.

unfortunately I had to cancel my spot for a family gathering (other family) so maybe one of you guys will get moved up.

Bern, will there be another MazFest next year? Possibly around or after memorial day?

Yes, the $10 is the gate fee Buttonwillow Raceway (SCCA - Cal Club Region) charges per car to enter the grounds. We will picking up the tab for all drivers participating and registered to drive the TRACK event. Courtesy of Heritage Mazda.

That's pretty cool... so the spectators and the show cars will have to pay the $10 fees. That's fair.

Yes sir... that's about right. We wanted to show a little appreciation for those that shelled out the bigger $$

We really wanted to pay for everyone, but the money we received from Heritage Mazda, was just enough to cover the track group.

This may be a stupid question but do you need to register to be a spectator, or is it just show up pay your $10 and enjoy the view?

Registration is not required to spectate. Just show up with friends and family, pay the $10 gate fee and enjoy the day

Guys, if you have an option to go on the track, go! Its a nothing deal and lots of fun. I was just there last week (the only RX8). If you drive carefully, you can have lots of fun (and get passed alot -- who cares). Put air in your tires -- start at over 40 -- stock breaks should work if you have pads left (redstuff ceramics work great front and rear though) fun fun... great track!!

I'm heading up late Friday afternoon. Should be a bit of partying Friday night as well. Anyone want to meet up for the drive to Buttonwillow?
