Why Friday vs. Saturday: MotorWeek is only available on Friday.

A chance to be on television with your RX-7.

Event meeting place (track and paddock):

 

Fees: there are no fees for RAM 2007 participants. RAM 2007 is the car show, vendors, parade laps, prizes portion of the weekend.

Track event participant fees are posted at www.MazdaDriverS.com, however, there are only a very few spots left.

 

Wow thanks a lot for the info, I heard about this event by some mazdaclub members but now I'll definitely be attending with my 2nd gen.

 

Crispy is making a very cool Rotary Trophy for the winner of the car show. Should be a lot of fun.

 

it's going to be tough for me to take friday off for this. sounds like a good time though.

 

I was wondering when someone was going to post this up, I'm definitely going.

 

Looks like my car will be there without me. It's too bad I have this job otherwise I would totally be there..ha.
Definitely post some pics after.

 

Yeah same here I probably wont be able to get it off, oh well.

 

Rotor trophy and Rotor clock raffle items for Friday. Hand made by Crispy Regan for the lucky rotary enthusiast that attends. Perhaps MotorWeek will film the winners with their trophies. MotorWeek is filming Friday rain or shine.

how was the show? any pics?

 

As far as I know it rained Friday, good for me cuz I would've killed myself for missing it on a nice day because of work.

 

Dave,
Try and let us know earlier next time. This would have been incredible to go to.

 

We had over 150 people in attendance. I was very please to see the number of RX-7's that arrived considering the weather and week day. We parked the cars out in the rain and used the large covered overhangs of the classroom building for everyone to stand. Waiting for photos from friends. I thank all the participants that made the effort to show considering the conditions. The RX-7 community is a great group of friends and I thank you for participating.

The highlight vehicle was a perfectly restored 1975 red Rotary Pick-up, with Rotor Power on the lift gate. Beautiful vehicle belonging to Dan S.

MotorWeek was there all day long and filmed the entire event, should be on sometime next year. The late driven schedule was tied to concurrence from MotorWeek of their participation. Longer lead time is always a good plan, wish it could have been so for this event as well. Will shot for a longer lead-time next year.
