Antoine @ Petit Le Mans / Road Atlanta...?

[TheDirtyGoatee]

Well there is the hill from the parking area to the pit area, and then theres the big dip between parking area. Meh... I might bring it just in case.

 

[aMaff]

I've always found walking up a hill easier than riding a bike up it, but you know, do your thing. Especially a speed BMX

who are you kidding Andrew? You're the one always saying "carry me! carry me!"

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

I have no problem walking. I walk a sh*t-ton at work.

Hell yeah! Imagine how bad off I'd be if I were on a friggin BMX lol

Ok.... Good? I guess....? Not really sure what that has to do with anything. I was saying walking was easier. No one was questioning whether or not you had problems walking. Though, now that you mention it, you probably shouldn't chew gum while you do it...

 

[TheDirtyGoatee]

Oh man... you're funny. Well, at least you think you are.

Updated the list, because 'somebody' left me out.

 

[RacerXGirl]

that's weird, because I copied/pasted the list with your name on it...oddness!

 

[Perro del Sol]

This is what we have confirmed already:


Hi Marlon,

Thanks for the update and good to hear that we will have Mazda enthusiasts attending the race at Road Atlanta. I can guarantee that I will set up the same meet and greet as we did at Mid-Ohio ... do you want to stick with the same program? As in ...

talks with Pat, Kathy, and Tom-SCCA Officials

Optima Battery talk w/ Jimmy Dey

Stoptech Brakes talk w/ Steve Ruiz

Tri-Point meet and greet w/ Craig Nagler, Jason Saini, Eric Foss & Chalres Espenlaub

swag and Optima battery plus stoptech giveaway plus pace car ridealong giveaways...

I will check with Road Atlanta/John Doonan to see if we can swing parade laps.*

sound good?

I am working on a couple of other additions ... but I don't have them confirmed so I won't tease you with them for now ...

Dave


As I get updates, I will pass them along to you guys, should be good. Also, we'll stop by and visit with Patrick Lindsey of Horton Autosprt, who also drives a Mazda 6. He got his first podium @ Road America and is helping to keep Mazda ahead in the Manufacters Championship!

Also, Jasoin Saini is leading the Drivers Championship, Eric Foss is the Rookie of the Year, so we have a lot of reasons to go out and support all of the Mazda teams!

We will also be paying a visit to Team Dyson and having a Tech Talk with all of the drivers and John Doonan of Mazdaspeed Motorsports. The LMP2 cars have been very strong of late, with 3 straight podiums, plus a win @ Lime Rock Park...

You can see we have a lot planned and it should be a great weekend for racing, lets have some strong representation from Mazda owners!!!

[Shadow102]

Sounds great marlon....only thing I gotta ask is there going to be set time for all this? I know last time I missed a bunch of it due to not knowing where/when to head

 

[Perro del Sol]

We'll have a schedule of events posted up on a dry erase board, all of the tech talks for the World Challenge Events will be held @ their hauler and tech center.

Paddock tours will be held at the paddocks of course.....we'll have it all worked out before the event.

 

[kcbhiw]

Marlon, that sounds awsome. Should I cross post this to the local Miata forum? There are a bunch of Miata nerds there that will be going and will definitely add to the Mazda showing.

Feel free to post this on any Mazda forum you'd like, we want as much Mazda support as we can get!!!!

Thanks, we missed you guys last year, we always have a great time when we make the trip down to Petit Le Mans.....

 

[THE Phen]

If this is anything like VIR, Lime Rock, or Mid-Ohio x2 was, you guys won't be disappointed!

we've had good meets with folks...but it was more loose on when to be where...always a good time though.

Would you happen to know yet which days those events will occur...Between the 23rd to the 26th or just the 25th & 26th?

Seems most people are intending to be there on the 25th & 26th...Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a specific/detailed schedule for each day...Even on the Road Atlanta site...Unless I missed something...?

As for my situation...I would be booked and ready to go already but I've got to clear an extra day off work which means I've got to wait at least another week to confirm it...The problem is...Ticket prices keep rising and more hotels are selling out...

 

[RacerXGirl]

Antoine - book your hotel...most have 48 hour cancellation policies, so you should be fine if your plans change. Doublecheck with them to verify the policy though.
