Just an FYI for all, who are attending. The normal price for a car club ticket is $90 for this event, that just includes a parade lap and access to the paddock and pits, if you are a member of a recognized car club.

With our package, you get so much more, lunch, private access to the B-K Motorsports Drivers, Engineers and Crew, where you can view the new 500 HP MZR-R racing engine

You will also have access to the Mazda 6 teams of Tindol Motorsports and Tri-Point as well. You can speak with Randy Pobst, Jeff Altenburg of Tri-Point, also with Charles Espenlaub, Michael Galati, Charlie Putman & Mary Katherine (the only woman in TC) of Tindol Motorsports.

Be 1 of only 100 Mazda owners to become a part of this event, it will be a memorable event and one of best Mazda gatherings ever!

Cool, we'll be glad to have you Dave. We got to do 2 parade laps, it was amazing! The GT class race was phenomenal, the Vettes were strong all day and the Aston was 3rd, they stayed with the program. Can't wait until next year, it was one hell of a party!

E Mail from John Doonan of Mazdaspeed Motorsports

I received this e mail from John Doonan of Mazdaspeed Motorsports in regards to the Mazda Corral @ Sebring

Guys:

First of all, all of us at Mazda are grateful for the effort you extended to make this first "true" car corral at a race so good. I know it took us a number of conference calls, emails, and running around, but it was a success. Truly...thanks!

I have read your email string below...and completely agree. Jim Jordan and I spoke on Tuesday about this and it will be our plan going forward to do it "the Mazda way"... There have been some funny comments about our Sebring corral "not fitting in image-wise with the typical corral"...(since they are used to the wine and cheese crowd from Porsche/Audi/and Corvette)....well, let me tell you something....we at Mazda and all of you are far more passionate!

So, way to go...and continue to let us know what kind of help you need...we will always be there to support you!

Zoom freaking Zoom,

John


As you can see, they are 100% behind the corrals and are looking to maximize the potential of these corrals and to make them affordable to our membership.
