I'm still in. We will be back from Michigan on Thursday or Friday so we can be at the meet on Saturday

For those of you who want to make a weekend of it, Mid-Ohio has camping and also Mohican State Park. If you want to attend all 3 days and join us in the "Car Corral", get the car club ticket.

It is $90 and gets you a reserve seat, pit pass and a lap on the course itself.

Hmm....probably not gonna want to make a full weekend out of it, but if some of us wanted to attend a few parts of it like the meet or something, when would you recomend we join? Also, would just joining in at these times cost money or is it just cost money to get those special privledges?

...wow 5 am....this post took a lot of concentration at this hour...

Alright that sounds cool. what time will you all be arriving at mid ohio on saturday? whoever wants to meet in columbus, we can just plan on leaving so we get there about the same time. also, how far is wooster from mid ohio?
I personally would like to get there pretty early b/c i will have to be back in columbus around 6 or so. Once we get this figured we can come up with a definite time and place to meet.

No problem, I am sure we can do that. Also, a few of us Mazda owners are going to head to the Winking Lizard in Avon, they are having a car meet every Sunday, starting this coming Sunday, from 11:00-4:00, throughout the Spring and the Summer.

Alright, well we have some planning to do then. I mapquested it and it's an hour and 45 mins from Ohio State to park mazda. Mid Ohio is about an hour from here...it doesn't really matter to me so lets hear what everyone is up for as far as how much driving.

Hmmm all I know is I'm available Saturday morning/afternoon. I have a b-day party to attend Saturday night, will involve plenty of beer pong and other drinking games, so I will not be very active Sunday lol So I'll let you all decide whatcha wanna do and when, and I'll go, so long as it isn't Saturday night or Sunday.

 

[Mazdaspeed989]

Yeah i'm in the same boat, b-day party/kegs at my apt complex. I'm thinking we should leave sat morning and get back late afternoon.

 

[Mazdaspeed989]

What's the earliest people are going to be willing to meet on saturday? we're going to have to kick this thing off early in order to get to mid ohio at a decent hour.
