Even though I missed the advance ticket deadline due to crappy work internet, I'll be there on Friday @ Noon with my Orange SA (taking time off of work for once). Should be a blast, weather permitting. Is anyone else planning on camping? I live 15 mins away and am debating about camping-out.
I finally got those waffle wheels I bought off of Donnie last August, and some new tires mounted. As such, I'd definitely be down for some parade laps.
I think we ought to move our monthly meeting to the Mitty. We should meet up at the corral and then roll over to the other Jeffrey's in Braselton for some "food". HAHA, we should go-in together on an OGTA banner to rep the club while at the track.
Holly, any clue what cars Downing is bringing? If you could organize a pit tour for us that would be super-sweet. I'd love to get really close to any of those cars.

The old green 4-rotor Kudzu is now on display at Jim Ellis Mazda on Peachtree Industrial. It is supposed to go out to the Mitty and it will be racing.
I will try to organize a pit tour and see what Jim's schedule is and if he would take the time to talk to us. I will get more details next week.

I will be out there Wednesday for the initial setup. As you know Mazda will have a large display so I will attempt to put you guys close to that.
I'd say you can keep adding to the list until Tuesday around 5pm. Thats the last time that I know I will be able to check. It would also be nice for a break down on which days people will show up. Saturday or Sunday.
Again I will do my best to have a section for you guys but I can't promise anything.

4-Rotor MAZDA race cars arrived in ATL
WooHoooooooooooooo!
I arrived at work this morning unable to park until the Hauler unloaded the racecars from MAZDA. The 792P, GTO & MX-6 arrived. Hopefully I will be hearing that 4-rotor sound for the next several days, until they go up to the Mitty.
Guys you have to get your butt up to the Mitty to see and hear these rotaries go around the track. Mazda is going to have a good showing of the historic race cars and you cannot beat the sound of them all going around the track. You will wet your pants.

Holly,
I sure did pick the wrong day to come out to see the place!
You all can count me in one of the days. If there's parking with the group, I'll bring out the 95 White Single turbo.
Which day is the best day to come out?
Best,
John

Ha! I haven't seen the post but it is good to see that Holly has me on the list. I will be there Saturday and Sunday for sure! I bought touring laps for 2 days. Hope to see everyone out!

Donnie I should find out more this coming week. But if it was like it was 2 years ago when Mazda brought out all the racecars... Saturday should be the day that they will be racing in force. It is possible some will race on Sunday, but I bet all would race on Saturday. Plus I'm going to check with Jim and see if he will find a time slot on Saturday to speak to all of us as a group. I will try to get all of us HANS hats too.

Ray you have choices. Parade Laps are free, however you must get there early and sign up for them. Touring Laps you purchase and are hotter laps, but you cannot pass. Touring Laps are $35 for one day and $50 for two days. Go to http://speedfest.classicmotorsports.net to find out more.

Several of us will be going both days. Sunday should be a good day too. Donnie do you plan to do the parade laps on Sunday? If so, I encourage you to get there early. In the past you had to sign up at a tent before a certain time to get in on the parade laps. The best thing is for everyone to there well before 9AM each day.
