Well, we are back once again with a bigger and better package for 2011 for all Mazda owners. Here are a few details:

Friday, September 16 2011 - Sunday, September 18 2011

This ticket includes Weekend General Admission, Paddock Pass, Grandstand Seating open, Special Parking & Car Corral Area and Lap of Track (time and availability of lap is subject to change based on track schedule). This ticket is necessary if you decide to camp at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the weekend. A tent camping or motor home camping pass is required.

Advance ticket pricing ends on Wednesday, September 14th, 2011 at 5:00pm EST


Mid-Ohio is setting up a special link for Mazda owners to order tickets. The goal is to raise as much money as possible for The Make A Wish Foundation and to have a great time with Mazda owners from across the Great Lakes Region and other areas of the country.

As most of you know Castrol is on board and if you saw the pics from Lime Rock Park, you know what a good time we had! Here is what we are offering:

1. A case of Castrol Edge Titanium Full Synthetic Oil ( 6 bottles)
2. Castrol goodie bags
3. Lunch served at the Corral Tent (Saturday)
4. Parade laps
5. Personal Meet & Greets with all Mazda teams
6. Great Raffle prizes, including a 3 day Mid-Ohio School (worth over $1,000, Silent Auction Item for sure)
7. Wheel of Fortune Charity Spins-Castrol & Mazdaspeed Swag
8. Dyno Pulls for Charity $20.00 for 2 pulls
9. Freedom 2011 t-shirt (must be worn on race day)
10. Freedom Pro's vs. Joe's I-racing Championship (Mazda Corral vs. Freedom Driver)


So stay tuned for more, as we'll have a flyer up as soon as they get us our ticket ordering link!

Awesome. Let us know when we can buy tickets.

Not sure about what u meant on the camping situation, but will we be able to camp in the corral like at road America? From what u said, sounds like we might have to pay extra to camp as well?

Whenever u find out, let us know!

Camping at RA was a treat, don't expect to get that at Mid-Ohio, but the ticket is cheaper..
 
for anyone NOT interested in camping at the track, an alternative is 'cabin-ing' (we just coined the term) at a nearby spot ...

http://www.mohicanadventures.com/cabins.html

I tried to get a block of rooms at a nearby hotel, and they wanted $180/night!!! i said WHAT?!?!? that's highway robbery!! he said it's 'supply and demand' ... well, let some other sucker pay $180 for a room worth well under HALF that rate!

so far i have 8 of us cabining there, and there may be more. it's SUPER reasonable, compared to a hotel ... and some have HOT TUBS!! if you need any further info, please let me know! I look forward to seeing you again!
 
Just an FYI for you guys here are a couple prizes that we're adding for this event.

1. $50.00 in Red Lobster Gift Certificates
2. Mid-Ohio 3 day Driving School
3. 2-VIP Season Passes for the 2012 Mid-Ohio Season


Word from the the Castrol guy is that they'll be bringing some extra's for this corral.
 
If you are going to attend this event for sure, please PM your shirt size.
 
Ok, we have more prizes to add to the mix

Escort 9500IX radar Detector $500.00 Value

SpeedSource Crew Shirts-priceless
 
please see the new 'Silent Auction' thread in the Ohio section - to bid on Two VIP Weekend passes with full pit and paddock access ...

Now, just multiply that time a 1,000.....that is how big this event will be!!!
 
See you guys there! There are definitely going to be some great events going on at the Mid-Ohio Mazda Corral--plus, if you've never been to a Grand-Am Series race (or follow the series), this will be the one to attend as it is the season finale. Come support Mazda and all of its drivers in their quest to repeat as Manufacturer Champions!

I attended a Mazda Corral at Virginia International Raceway earlier this year, and it was a blast! Pictures can be found here:
