GT Live/MazdaDays 07 at VIR
I posted about this over on the Mazda Owners of America website, but I'm spreading the word here as well. Instead of typing it all over again, I'm going to just copy and paste it haha (this is actually the 4th copy and paste... had to do it in two sections on here and the 8 club). This is basically a duplicate of what I posted in the SE section. I'm posting it here as well so that we don't leave out you guys from the NE that don't frequent the SE section (being that the event is in VA and all). Take note of the discount code: 'WIBOB'.

We had a blast last year hanging out with the MazdaSport guys, chatting with the Speedsource guys, not riding the SIM race (because it was slow due to the rain), watching the Grand-Am Cup race (now called the Koni Challenge), and being completely frozen haha.
This year in addition to all of the events they had last year (sim race, drift show, bike show, car show, fan festivals, koni challenge, lap battle, girls), they are also offering for the first time the Drift Challenge where we can ride along with pro drifters. It's similar to the SIM race, except it's drifting instead of lapping the track in really really fast cars. It should be great. A number of us from NC will be participating in the lap battle this year. Theme: 'Operatoin beat Jonny' haha. Jonny was the guy from VA with the White TII RX-7 who spanked up on the competition in the lap battle last year. He did that on a wet track, which means he will be even faster this year (provided it's dry).
MazdaDays is returning again this year. The NC Rotaries car club (formally known as the rrdi ... we realized that over half of our members were not Raleigh residents which resulted in a name change) is preparing to make this the best Mazda meet on the east cost. To do that we need LOTS AND LOTS of Mazda cars to show up. There is a possibility that Mazda USA will provide some things for us. I'll keep you posted on that.
Also, this year we have discounts! You can use the promo code 'WIBOB' when buying your tickets to get you $5 off a weekend pass, or $2 off a one day pass. Motorsports at a discount... mmmm mmmm good. The code is multi use, so feel free to distribute it as you wish.
I'm slowly making my way around to the different forums I'm registered at and posting information about it. I'll point them to this thread (free advertisement for mazooa and GT Live at the same time
). If any of you guys could help me out and post on your respective boards, that would be great! Direct them here too so we can get some kind of singular point of Mazda hot going on. So far, I've got the rx8club.com, rx7club.com, and rx8web.com covered (can you tell I'm a rotary owner hahaha).
Yes, clickable.
Who's in?

Mazda Days is returning to GT LIVE at Virginia International Raceway October 6th and 7th 2007.
The NC Rotaries car club is preparing to make this the best Mazda meet on the east cost. To do that we need LOTS AND LOTS of Mazda cars to show up. We will have a parking area in the paddock to show our cars again this year and we hope to have a huge turnout! Follow this link for registration, fill out the form and choose Mazda Days to have a parking pass waiting for you at the VIR gates. Also, this year we have discounts! You can use the promo code 'WIBOB' when buying your tickets online to get you $5 off a weekend pass, or $2 off a one day pass. Motorsports at a discount... mmmm mmmm good. The code is multi use, so feel free to distribute it as you wish.
GT LIVE has a blockbuster content lineup planned. Grand Am will be back with hot sports car racing during two six hour endurance races and this year you'll be able to see Tarzan Yamada take the wheel of an ICY/Phoenix Racing Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B to battle it out with the US boys. Redline Time Attack will make its debut at VIR and we anticipate a huge car count. On the drift side, the Falken Tire Drift team will do pro demos and give rides and US Drift will thrill us with another competition. Our Rally-X will expand a bit thanks to some support from Subaru and the XDL US Stunt Riding Championship returns. As always, there are tons of ways to get involved in GT LIVE, starting with go karts, rides in the GT Sim Race, the aforementioned drift rides, lap time in your own car in Tarzan's Lap Battle and last but not least, one of our many meets.

185 views and nobody else wants to do this!?!?!? Where are all the VA people? It's VIR! Virginia International Raceway. It's in your backyard!
Seriously, would love to have as many of you show up as possible. Don't want to be outdone by the other groups (Honda) ya know.

As of yesterday there were 5 RX-8s, 2 MX-5s and 1 Mazda 6 entered in the 6 hour Grand Am KONI race on Saturday! We've also received an email from Sylvain Tremblay, owner/driver for SPEEDSOURCE RACING saying for us to give them a time and as long as it works with their schedule...they will head over, possibly bringing one of the ST cars, for an autograph session!!!
Well I know that my girl and i r driving down there in my rx7. We live in northern VA so its not too bad of a drive. Only like 5 hours. I would def like to park with the other Mazdas as well
Hey, im in NOVA as well...we should all meet up, hopefully with a few more peeps and have a caravan!!!
Hell ya man! Email me at fonzi581@yahoo.com and we will set something up. Is anyone else going in our area?
I am planning on attending as well. If I can get my new motor in the 10th before then, I will drive it down.
Otherwise, I am not sure if folks want me parking the Jeep in the Mazda corral
