MazFest-2006 - Buttonwillow Track Festival

It’s back!!!! MazFest-2006: Buttonwillow Track Festival


To all my Mazda friends: We’re at it again. I've joined up with a few of my good Mazda enthusiast friends to bring you all another ALL MAZDA TRACK Day on the weekend of May 20-21, at Buttonwillow Raceway. This year's event is going to include more track time though; for all you track junkies! On Saturday May 20th, it will be strictly a track day, but Sunday, May 21 (main event day) will include all of the following:

-Car Show
-Dyno
-Track Time
-Race Demos
-Track Rides
-etc... etc...



Track spots are limited, so sign up ASAP... this is first-come-(PAY)-first-serve!!! Don't be left out; like many Mazda people were at last year’s MazFest. There will be track time for everybody, from beginners to full-on racers. Race car participants interested in joining the race group, please e-mail or PM me ASAP for details.


Registration and Details here:

Guys,
The track event is now more than half-way sold out, and still ONLY 2 RX-8s. I thought for sure we'd have a bunch of 8 owners jumping on this. I'm sure there are a few more coming out to run, right?!?!?

Where are all the Touge Masters?!?!


Thanks to all those coming out for the show also!

I don't see ONE non-Mazda on Sunday, which is MazFest' main day! Saturday is open to all Mazdas and friends. SUNDAY is the main festival day, with Saturday being an OPEN TRACK DAY only.

Yea, Saturday was set-up so we could share it with friends and family who don't drive Mazdas. Still not too bad so far... the above list is still close to 60% Mazda!! We'd like for even greater Mazdas on Saturday, but it is open to all. SUNDAY though is the day for all MAZDAWGS!!

It is... there are only 73 cars signed up for Sunday. The Saturday list shows over-booked, but there are several folks who have come off the list, but are still showing. So there are still a few more spots for 8s! Are you in Bong?!?!?
