Hi Guys,

I sincerely apologize for such short notice. I truly thought information was posted for the event.

I am one of the original founders of the event, and have help take it back to it's roots this year. Mazdapalooza Summer 2008 will be this Sunday down in Clearwater.

All Mazda and automobile enthusiasts from ALL forums, ALL Clubs, ALL Models are welcome! We are still allowing NON-Mazdas to show as well.

One big change after winter, which came at the request of many of the RX-7/RX-8 Group, is that we split the classes. We listened, and for Summer 2008, expect the top 3 to receive awards in RX-7 and RX-8 classes. Of course, it is 100% People's Choice now. It worked great at winter.

We will have the entire restaurant this time, and if people want to show up early to get cleaning, come on in around 9 AM.

When: July 20th, 10am - 4pm.
Where: Quaker Steak & Lube
10400 49th Street, Clearwater, Florida 33762



Details are on www.Mazdapalooza.com
Any questions, email me! Eric@mazdapalooza.com!

I know it is really late in the game, and for that I am extremely sorry.

If anyone is interested in a hotel, there is a Wingate for $85 Saturday night, 100 feet from the event.
5000 Lake Boulevard
49th St Bridge & Hwy 19
Clearwater, FL 33760 US

Unless we get another big thunder/hail storm, I'll try to make it there. In the winter we had 6 or 7 RX-7's. Lots of RX-8's, Miatas, 3's, etc. but I like seeing them too.

 

The last 2 summers it has rained. I think it is time that tradition ends, personally! For the majority of the day, I ordered up sunshine and fun.

I do want to see more RX-7's, especially since we have split up the classes. I know the RX-8 groups will have a lot of people. I cannot wait.

 

Dammit, why does it have to be at steak lube again!?!

Is there still time to sign up as a vendor?

 

Well, we got rave reviews from winter, so it is there. The rest we have resolved in IM.

 

ah man, short notice, but ill be there!


wish i had my new gas door (old one broken off, lol) and lowering springs by then, but they havent shipped yet.

 

Glad to know you will be there!
