Naa I couldn't do that to ya, welp Im still the fastest Mazda but not the slowest, There is a MX6 came in today. I think I got him today by 5 seconds,
I did loop the car this morning on the cold wet track, No damage I barley got the back tires off the track Then when the track dried out this afternoon I only got two runs in. WTF
I just up the boost .. # 2 setting . Hell my tires and car were still cold, Oh well there always tomorrow.

Bobby got y'all some parking pass and y'all owe him Bigtime. with about 4 inches of rain the fields are a mud waller.

See you guys tomorrow, we're suppose to run at 10 Patriot course so as soon as you cross the bridge hang a left.

Johny

Thanks guys, good info. I was wondering about parking when I saw the weather report this morning. How big a crowd is there? Guess a hat, coat and hiking boots are in order just in case. Speaking of spinning... I pulled one almost last night coming down an offramp on to Wilmington Street... backend got all squirrely on me...was fun hah!

Had to leave a little suspense hahaha. Today was a great day. I had fun and am looking forward to going back tomorrow. The SIM race... yeah waiting in line is a monster. They have a 2 hour block from 8:30 - 10:30 tomorrow, i think thats the time.. it's early is all I remember, so hopefully we can get on at some point.. I waited in line today for 1hr20mins and didn't get to ride... Gridlock. The MazdaDays meet was slow. 2 MX-5s, 2 7s, 1 8 after the dust settled. There is a MazdaSport photographer taking photo's for the December magazine so look pretty (I'll have my muddy face on haha). I'll give out parking passes at CB tomorrow so noone has to hit the mud like I did today. I've also got MazdaSport magazine signup flyers for anyone who wants to order magazines. Here are some teaser photos

Mazda Days.. the begining...


MazdaDays.. the end...


The girls... did I mention it was COLD?!


SpeedSource team ready for battle... #70 and #69 owned ST qualifying

Got a full set of new belts on today and did a test drive, all is good.

I'll see everyone at the Morrisville Cracker Barrel NLT 6:30 tomorrow morning. Got to pickup my ticket like everyone else at the track tomorrow.

GT Live Final report... IT WAS COLD AGAIN! hahaha but it did get better. I have photo's and junk I will put online in a few days. Too tired to do it tonight. For those who didn't hang around, SpeedSource finished 3rd (#68), 6th, 9th, and 10th. Not too bad. Turner Motorsports (BMW 330i) took second today, but won the grand am championship.

I still have more GT Live posters if anyone wants them. I will bring them to the meet on saturday... hindsight being 20/20... I had some of them in the trunk of my car that I could have gotten for us to have Tarzan autograph.... brain fails me sometimes...
