I'm there for sunday to see the ST class go, possibly saturday too. I wonder if we can get some space to display our cars for mazda days. It makes sense to me to show off the rotaries since the speed source team is pimping a rotary on the track haha.

I found a new job! I'm now a GT Live Raleigh-Durham Promoter! :-) Some more information about Mazda days, there will be some space in the north paddock for Mazdas to park. It's going to be next to the MazdaSport booth and It's on a first come first serve basis, but we're going to try to make sure there is room for all of us. There will also be a mazda only karting session. Shaping up to be a hot weekend. Let's get a huge groub going! All the information is also posted on the mazda days website I posted above.

I have weekend duty that weekend but I should only have to work that Saturday. I guess we need to decide what time we're gonna leave that morning. 5am would be nice Greg but that means I would have to leave here at 4...don't think Keri will be up for that. But we'll see.

Have to check what time the track opens, work backwards from that and see what fits everyone. It'd be nice to get to do the parking thing but I'd be just as happy to just have everyone show up!

Well, then I guess I'll settle for a ride in the hpi Racing Impreza! I have a nitro R/C car with thier body on it. It would be kinda cool, to get a ride in the actual car though...especially if Keri could geta good pic with me inside it.

It's not so much the 8 hours drive as it is the cost of gas, hotel, tickets, and a whole weekend...
since I don't have a job right now and end up spending all the money I have on food and my car
Plus, I would have had to have heard of the event about half a year in advance to consider going.

Here is what I got last night.
Lets get it started so we can attempt to get an rx8 in the sim race! Who's in.
1. Me
Also, Mazda karting will be done in conjunction with the SubaruDays karting session (SubaruDays is the subaru owners meet sponsored by SubiSport mag. both sessions are on sunday from 11 to 12). It was setup this way because we are the two groups with the lowest expected participation at GT Live. I say lets flood that place with Mazdas! haha.
