Quick update guys. If you have purchased tickets already, you need to contact LRP and upgrade for the MAzdaspeed Corral or you will not get any of the parking , hats, shirts, etc. "For the people who bought a $55 ticket or daily ticket for $5 less, please have them call the office so we can upgrade them to a MAZDA car corral ticket and charge them the $5."

Call them and ask for
Mike O'Flinn
Ticketing and Promotions Coordinator

This does not effect the meet on the 25th, although it will be a BBQ, we will have to bring our own food and grills.

Update from Marlon (Lead guy for Mazdaspeed Corral):

If you guys need any addiitional information, please PM me. I have a lot going on, planning other events for Mazda across the country, so be patient. You have to be 18 to drive the parade lap, passengers can be any age.

All of the drivers from all of the Mazda teams will be there to sign autographs, take pictures, ask questions. You will have access that the general public will not have and you don't have to wait in line. Just an FYI, you must have the special corral ticket and parking pass, if you do not have these, you will not be allowed to participate in the corral or any of the other activites planned for the weekend.


I was just @ VIR and spoke to all of the drivers and crews of all of the Mazda teams, they are just as excited as we are about the event. Craig Stone and Jameson Riley can't wait to get involved, and the owner of Racers Edge may bring his 2nd Gen RX-7 to the corral.

I encourage all of you that didn't make last years event to make this one, as it will be bigger and better!

We know many of you have purchased tickets for Fri,Sat, and Monday and we wanted to complete the weekend. Those of you who didnt purchase any tickets but want to come and have a car meet, feel free to join us. PLEASE DO!!!!

There will be NO ADMISSION CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So all you rotary guys should definately come out and chill. You may also have the opportunity to have a meet and greet with the Mazda Race Teams (Speedsource, Riley Racing, Hypersport, Racers Edge, Roar Racing etc). Not 100% but damn near close.

We will be refining this portion in the oncoming weeks.

Only 1 thing you need to do is fill out a WAIVER, saying that if anything happens to you the park is not responsible.

Please NOTE: There is no racing on Sundays at LRP, therefore no parade laps. Parade laps are for ticket holders on Friday and Saturday.

***Reason for pre-registering was to try and obtain some more $$$ from Mazda to sponsor catered lunches for all attendees. We were unable to get that (Come prepared), but all those that have pre-registered are guarenteed to get a Mazdaspeed Tshirt/Hat. We will def try to get extras so everyone can have some, and im pretty sure we can work that out with Mazda USA/Mazdaspeed.

Last year me and john found this nice little italian spot that has some really good heroes (eh um i mean WEDGE). I can def try and find that address and give it to you guys, its only about 15 minutes from the park.

I hope all this info helps summarize it all. I will be very busy in the oncoming weeks with projects, tests, and then Finals, so i wont be around as much.

So please come out and join the CTRA hosted meet at Limerock Park on Sunday, its FREE!.

Best Regards,

Jason, NYRA

POSTED BY RAY ON MAZDA 6 CLUB

OK here's a brief rundown for Friday:

Corral tickets are no longer for sale. I can't help people that don't have one, unfortunately. Nor will I let them in or allow them to stay. That is just unfair to the track, Mazdaspeed, and the people who purchased corral passes. Recall that there was plenty of advanced notice on this.

I'm going to be there bright and early at around 8-9 AM tomorrow Friday the 23rd getting the Mazdaspeed Shu Go ("Gathering Place") corral set up.

For those never been to the track, here is the Google Maps address:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=White%......sa=N&tab=wl

Enter the track through the White Hollow Rd entrance. After the ticket area, you will go over a bridge. Make a right turn after the bridge to reach the corral. It's in the skidpad, the giant circle on this map:
(IMG:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/...a50cd8a2d2.jpg)

I might recruit a couple of you to help me set up the corral and put up signs. The sooner we get that done, the sooner we head to the paddocks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/5.gif)

Please see the attached schedule. Note that this schedule is subject to change and is very dependent on the racing schedule.

Seeing that Rolex and Koni are going to be busy practicing in the morning, we'll visit the Tri-Point, Tindol, and Horton Motorsports first. We'll visit the RX-8 teams afterwards as they become available after their practice (SpeedSource, ROAR, Racers Edge, and Hypersport).

Note that at 1155, we have a drivers' meeting and pre-grid for our parade lap, where I will brief you on the parade lap.

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH - ATTENDANCE TO THIS DRIVERS' MEETING IS MANDATORY FOR ALL PARADE LAP PARTICIPANTS. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED. IF YOU AREN'T AT THE MEETING, YOU DON'T GO ON THE PARADE LAP.

Afterwards, we will have our parade lap as soon as we are cleared by race control.

Depending on how many teams we have the impromptu meet-and-greets in the morning, we will go back to the paddocks to meet the rest of the teams in the afternoon (as their racing schedule allows). Or, if we met all of them I'll let you guys loose to go wherever you please (watch the practice/qualifying, hang out at the paddocks, hang out at the Shu Go, etc.)

After 6 PM, I will be leaving the track but you guys are free to hang out at the Shu Go

PM me or Marlon for my cell phone number. I am available until 1 AM tonight. I'll check my PMs again before I leave at 0500 or 0600 tomorrow, but after that I will have no access to these forums until Friday night.

DOWNLOAD SCHEDULE BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

im suprised they kept both sets of door functional...i figured it would have been lighter to remove the rear door and mold it into the body...the cars look great...did anyone get in trouble trying to take or touch something?

just looked at all the pics...its a little dissapointing not really to see any 7's doing the lap...i mean it was good to see some 8's went but darn
