Like the heading states, is any one going to be there?

I have never been but it seems like fun. I signed up for the track day, so I'll be there.

 

Haven't seen any threads for it yet; when's it scheduled for?

 

August 13th. They posted on the RX8 Club but not here for some reason. Here is the link www.mazfest.com/

 

I'll be there Pic of my black FC is on the front page, haha

 

I'll be there! (unless something breaks again...)

 

Oh sweet! I'll be there!

 

I'll def be there, with my trusty 12x12 tent. Won't be ready for full up track, but if they have autocross I'll do that. It's fun, I like Mazfest

 

I went once, just for the car show; Sounds like it's a lot more fun doing the track thing, but that's not really what my car's about - - or about ready for!

Thinking on it, though. Lot of nice poeple and cars there to hang with.

 

Just come find us. We usually end up in the back corner somewhere due to all that wind. With the way the stages are set up there is always someone at the tent(s).

I will be there

now purple group or black hummmmmm

 

The colors are for the track group? right?

 

I'm hoping there are cars with some RZ seats. I want some but not sure how comfortable they are, so I'm hoping I could try them out.

 

im thinking of registering!

i just need to install the TII brakes, SS lines, and vented rotors and im ready! im sure my car is pretty solid where it is now... i think ive touched just about all necessary mods for AutoX or track time

 

Can't wait! I really enjoyed last year's. It was moderately sized and intimate!

 

any restrictions on helmets?? other than just being DOT approved?

 

^ from what i remember, as long as its DOT approved, they don't really check.

im down! all of the mazfest has been fun. i'll probably own an FD by then

 

How about DOD-approved? (Still got my 'steel pot,' heh)

 

anyone know the total amount it will cost to run the on roval? i see $80 to register on the site but im asking about any extra fees? other than gas and trainers/coaches....

 

i think its $80 for the autocross, and its actually $180 to run the roval, which im pretty sure its what most of us are going to run, and plus the $10 gate fee

 

I'll be there to race...

 

drivers have to pay for the gate fee? That's bs!

 

I'm down, my beast will be ready by then.

 

Doing autocross only. So, do I need a transponder to be timed at the autocross? Or are they using the traditional auto-x timing lights ??

 

speedventures charged that too when it was just a speedventures event. i suspect it may have to do with the ownership change of the venue? its been that way at least a year?

 

Usually it's the Track that charges the gate fee. For instance, it's $10 to get into Buttonwillow no matter whose trackday it is.
