Anyone interested in getting a group together for a track weekend? VIR? Road Atlanta?
It'd be great to get a group of RX-7/Rotorheads together for a track event this year. I think VIR would be a pretty good option for us East Coast guys as it is kind of more centered than somewhere like Road Atlanta or NJMP. It's also a really REALLY great road course and most places have plenty of runoff in case you do make a mistake, damage is minimal. I don't think a NASA event would be a good option for us due to being side tracked with some people racing as well as being completely packed. I know several other organizations have events there, but I'll throw one out... Mazda Driver's in June or August. June is the Grand East course, August is Full Course. No racing, good turnout but not a packed paddock, alot of Mazda's in general, and plenty of time to hang out... Let's hear some thoughts or suggestions?

June sounds fun. August is out for me (anniversary weekend). I will definitely put the MazdaDrivers event at the top of my calendar. My very first event back around 2001 was with them (when it was still with MSCW).
So, my vote is for June.

I'm down for where ever, majority rules. So far though VIR is looking a little better, but the thread is only a day old.
So currently:
VIR in June: 3
Mid Ohio: 1
Road Atlanta: 0

I vote for PCA on the VIR F course 5/21,22 and 23. This year it's not the normal 3 day format because they're doing an instructor clinic on Friday but advanced/solo drivers can drive during the clinic on Friday as well. It's usually priced fairly but more importantly its good track time because you're driving w/ mostly Porsches and there's open passing in the advanced group and completely open passing in the instructor group (meaning passing in the corners).
If you're a novice there are also usually good instructors w/ lots of experience.

I'll be at the First Settlers PCA 3 day event.
Fritz/Pete you two around June 19-20? We're building a Lemons car for the Summit race and might need another couple of drivers. I'm off to look at a BMW 535i tomorrow. PM me for more details.

Btw - anyone have dates for the Alfa-Romeo "Small Bore" event at VIR this year? It's usually in May and I've always had a great time there. Well run event and the displacement limits for student cars (<3.5L) makes it perfect for rotaries.

You guys have any preference, May or June?
Fritz brings up a good point... more bang for the buck. I like to get as much for my dollar as possible, and a 3 day event really cuts down my per day cost opposed to a 2 day event. I'm still down with either or, but I think my preference is the FSR PCA.

Alright... let's shoot for May 21-23 at VIR with the FSR PCA. You can also just register for May 22-23 if you don't want to attend Friday. You can register here(doesn't open until Feb 22): http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...DB21EEF31BA43D
