I sure would like to see another sevenstock, but i can also understand the stress that people who organize the event are under. ESPECIALLY if mazda is only vaguely supportive of them!

i understand it's a LOT of work for the socal club people organizing it. it's unfortunate that mazda isn't eagerly willing to continue support (i actually don't really understand why that is)... but this has grown to become such a defining event of the rotary community. i don't think even the z-car people have anything like this. i think we should keep this flame going... and i'll gladly help in any way i can

I'm a die-hard DSM'er in the epicenter of DSM culture, NE Ohio. Dave Bushchur holds the DSM shootout in Norwalk, OH every summer and DSM enthusiasts from all over the world pay $20 to get in, because they know they won't get to experience anything like this for another year. The problem is that you're asking for money, rather than making people pay to get in. I know of some doh-mestic V8-loving rednecks who would pay $20 to see a four-rotor in the flesh; surely the rotary community itself would pony up. I'm contemplating making the trek from cleveland myself, even if I don't own a rotary, because it's an experience you just can't get anywhere else. You could probably turn a profit with the right marketing; why not at least ensure that your costs are covered?

It's all talk until you all step up! Remember, we are in this together.
Keep the faith... SS-8 might be around the corner!

yes for SS8! i wouldn't mind paying a fee, but i already blow alot of money for shirts and raffle tickets when im there. also i love the banquets, its always interesting to see who i will be dining with and what speakers will come. i actually think the tickets are pretty cheap, but dont quote me on that.

Enough reason?
Thats my love for rotary engines, I just hope I can get there some year, no matter what I want to be there, see all the generations, admire the FD's.
Hear the rotary sound from the rotary engines.
All in all, this carshow is unique, it is unique from all other shows.
It is not just a few europeans and australlians that loves this, everytime I watch the video of 8 minutes from 7 stock I get thrilled.
So does other rotary lovers... Cutting the string to this would be a major set back.

Say $20.00 dollors for adults, $10.00 dollors or even free for kids. use the whrist
band type jobs. does a entrance fee fall into another type of event to the city of ervine? meaning sercurity, taxes, and what not for public events. i would think the event being roped off if a entrance charge is in effect. and i can't really see
it roped off either. thats a tough one. getting out of hand and rocketting away from the idea of the whole BBQ get-togethers. maybe by september mazda will have released the twin turbo rx8's. I look forward to SS8 and i'll help out if you
need it.

I would love to attend. A few friends flew down from canada but unfortunately I could not make it. I have been following the Sevenstock since day one and I have to at least make it this year.
I can only see how this can benefit Mazda by showing support for the rotary.

One of the main reasons SevenStock has been so successful, has been Mazda, and I think that they will continue to work with us, the enthusiast community, to continue to bring you all very unique events, like SevenStock!!
