Just found out they are having the CT State BBQ Championships at the same time on Sunday at LimeRock!

Jay, you get any more info?

Not yet, as i get it, i will post it all over

Quick updates. For this limerock event we have secured 4 sponsors so far.

1. Mazdaspeed
2. BP (Gas company)
3. Castrol
4. Yokohama

Details of the promotion will be updated shortly. If you havent signed in please do so now. The first 50 cars will be able to drive on LIME ROCKS racetrack.

Best Regards

Jason NYC

I'm in for the 25th & 26th!

how do i sign in?

can u summarize the difference between the two days in terms of events? is there an agenda somewhere?

Matty, PM jason with your contact info to get on the list. As for the event Sunday the 25th is just a prep day for the teams. We get to go through the paddocks and meet and greet the teams (its a blast). They usually have a classic car show that day and the CT BBQ championships. Monday is race day. The first 50 people signed up and paid (when ever that is) gets to get 2-3 paraid laps before the race gets going. Then its zoom zoom zoom! Hope that helps

Yeah what john said. Just send in your name, and that will get you on the list. A month before the event the final schedule will be posted and you can purchase which ever tickets you want. You dont have to select the days now. I will post a pricing breakdown for each day and what is being offered.

Follow the link on the first post and follow the instructions. Thanks

Jason NYC

Great job Jay, looking forward to see the crowd!

Hey I'm down.... My baby should be up and running by that time...

Bump for this. I finally sent in my information. Can't wait till all this cold weather is gone... I really miss you guys!!! :(

Wheres all my NYRA guys at?

Alex, Josue (1 and 2) , Rich, Joe, James, Ralphy?

Jay, is that like 15 of my peeps coming? Was that the current list?

count me in. for sure. I will pm ya on the date/days.

Hello I have a new update. Its a short one so dont worry.

I have added a new team to the Mazdaspeed Corral called RILEY RACING. Mr. Jameson Riley raced last year in the KONI Challenge for Volvo but this year he will be racing with a Speedsource Built Renesis Mazda RX-8 in the Street Tuner Division. I just finished speaking with Mr. Riley and he is on board for the Corral.

KONI Challenge is oriented more towards productions vehicles than the 20B powered Mazda RX-8's in the Rolex GT series.

These RX-8 in the ST division of KONI will be racing on Saturday May 24th 2008, and the Rolex GT will be on Monday May 26th 2008.

Seems like this is going to be a rotary fun filled 4 days event =).
