Hi all - please note that the NORTH course will be used and not the south course as mentioned above.

Spots are filling up and we have a limited # of spaces available.

First track day? NO PROBLEM. We have a run group and instruction for you - so don't worry about that.

Call in - reserve a space and get your friends to come with you. For the money, it will be an awesome day.

Not sure... I'm sure there will be at the Autobahn.

Let some friends know though - I believe they are rebating and lowering the cost for each day.

Nismonic & blm - read below - tell all your friends:

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

I received a request to offer up the following offer for the Autobarn Mazda Track Days this weekend. We hope many of you or your friends would be interested in taking them up on this.

Due to low registration - Autobarn Mazda & Mazda are offering a 50% discount on either program day. That's right - they are kicking it up a notch providing all registrants a $75 price for 2 hours of track time, Breakfast, Lunch, Event T-shirt & Professional Instruction!

Anyone who has already registered will receive a refund for 50% of their ticket.

We hope that you can share this with all of your contacts and make the effort to contact Joe Moulton @ The Autobarn (847-570-3047) to register or RSVP.

As of right now - this offer is open to anyone - Mazda or otherwise.

you guys have no idea what you missed.
this was probably one of the most fun days i have had in my entire life.
it was amazing.
i drove the FC for the first time on track, and its so good to see what these cars are really supposed to do. auto crosses do not do these cars justice.
i also got to test drive a dealer rx8 at speed. those cars are incredibly well balanced. not all that powerful, but still a blast to drive.
im deffinatley going again whenever they do this next time. probably will do both days next time.
