See the 787B Sunday aug 15

I am driving up to see this. Also get a good look at the Track and such.. It will be a nice Sunday drive anyone else comming to this ?

-------------------------------------------------------------

This Sunday, Laguna Seca, the 787B will run at the Historics. Running along with it will be: both BF Goodrich Mazda Lolas Cars, the GTO 4-Rotor, the GTU 2 rotor, and the newly restored RX2 Car & Driver Car. All of these cars will do laps at Laguna Seca this Sunday. If you can't make it out this Sunday, Aug 15th, to Laguna Seca, these cars will all be shown (and started and revved?!) at SevenStock one month from today. Click through to see pics of the the 787b starting up. Again, from Mazda R&D in Irvine.
August 15th at 12:25 pm. Tickets for the full race weekend are still available at www.montereyhistoric.com.

Funny, yes I saw you there... :D

Hey you didn't come over a little later to the Mazda tent and ask the Mazda tech guys some questions about the sleeves in the RENESIS ports, did you?

I'm the guy sitting in the green/white 1st gen RX-7 daytona car pics. Red shirt, glasses. I think I'm also in a pic with Jim M of Racing Beat, and a few Mazda guys.
