Well, I'm tall and bald, so I'm pretty hard to miss. Theres a good chance I'll be wearing a hat, though. It will most likely be a black hat with Mazdaspeed in orange letters on the front. Hopefully well meet up.

Everybody come see me in the Speed6 Challenge tent. I'm running the camera system and timing. I also help design the course with Stu Hayner so I can give you tips before your run.

So how exactly does this work? Do you have to pick which event you want to do, or can you do more than one? Or do they take you though all 4 of them? Cause I'd love to thrash an rx-8, but I'm real curious about the mazdaspeed6 as well. I have a 6s and its real nice, but I'd really like to see what awd and a turbo 4 do to it.
You can do all of the events I think at least twice. We started out letting people run the Speed6 course as many times as they wanted to wait in line but we had a bunch of cars get the clutches burned up in the first few cities. We sent the cars ahead to Houston to get new clutches so we should have plenty of cars for a couple weeks(I hope).

You were there? Did you see two guys, one with a Kumho hat on? If so, that was me and my brother. (I had the hat) Got kicked out though at the miata/rx-8 track. They don't like power sliding at all aparently.
The guys at the Mazdaspeed track were cool. They were all autocross people, so we were talking about how to turn better times and such. Ended up with a 31.5, so I was pleased.
Just came back from the event on Sunday morning, good time and Stu was cool at the Speed6 track. The Speed 6 stripped of all the body was great to see as I plan to mod my 6 as soon as products are available; and that downpipe is gonna be a bear to changeout! There was not a large crowd so get out there and drive if you want to have some fun ... Speed6, Mazda 6, Mazda3, MX-5, Rx-8, CX-7 are all out there to be abused.
I ran a 30.1 sec in the Speed6, got a hat for it, wow I guess. They ran me out in an auto Mazda6 to show the crowd and I ran a 32 flat, exactly what they predicted. The guys are really keeping up a positive energy level given how boring it must be for them after a day and a half of the same thing going on. I figure a 29 would be easy in the Speed6 with a couple more laps and times would just keep dropping as more laps were had. They only record the time your first two laps and for us old farts it takes longer than that to get up to speed.
