Hey everyone - Thanks for coming out! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and got more than they expected. I'm really sorry I didn't get to spend more time and meet all of you but I was extremely busy the entire weekend.
Classic Motorsports magazine and Mazda are the sponsors of The Mitty for at least the next two years, so expect to not only see many of the same Mazda race cars that were there this weekend, but MANY more. There isn't much chance of the green and orange 787B showing up, but we're already working hard to get one of the white ones there.
For marketing and sponsorship reasons "The Sports Cars Of Japan" can't be the feature next year (one of the other areas will be). We want to see you guys represent the rotary again next year and maybe even be in charge of "The Sports Cars Of Japan" area.
Let me know what you liked and what you didn't like so I can work to make The Mitty even better next year!
Regards,
Bill

one thing that was really stupid is that you guys let ANYBODY take ANYTHING on the track for the parade laps. i saw a fuc%in mini-van and tahoe and a 1993 nissan truck for christs sake, i thought it was supposed to be a japanese sports car parade lap....i didnt get to do it because it was full up with 100+ cars
thats just 1 thing that sucked

I did see a few areas for improvement at the event, first off which being ticket price. $35 is not worth it for the quality of racing you see. Either do away with the infield parking pass or drop ticket price $10. I had quite a few people show interest until they heard what the ticket price was.
7 lap races suck! Most of the races were like 2 laps green, 4 laps double yellow, 1 lap green. Forget trying to squeeze "enduros" into the schedule, just split that lap time up between the sprint races so they are more then 7 laps.
Ditch the post-race interviews for every class in every race group. Nobody cares and you can't hear anything over the PA anyway. Instead of this show more racing
.On the plus side the 3 laps that the Benetton did made it all worthwhile. Next year get more F1 cars please!
I know you guys don't have much control over that sort of thing but you asked for it!
Sorry I never got the chance to swing by the tent Bill, I went that way during the slow group on Sunday afternoon and vendor row was empty. You guys got out of there quick.

dregg100 - food prices are high at all sporting events. Have you bought a hamburger at a pro baseball game or at a NASCAR race? Track side food prices are always high, everywhere. Plan ahead and bringing your own cooler is always the economical way to go.

We had two busses running from the autocross to the pro pits to vendor row to the suzuki bridge to the classic pits and back
i'll make sure the bus is better marked next year.
