It's basically the same as a big MF drive day (weekend) with extras to make it more fun for all.
Just as on a "regular" drive day, you can drive as fast as you want, but if you get booked for speeding, then it's your fault. Only here, if you loose it on a corner and end up in a wall.... it's your own fault. No one is giving prizes for the fastest lap.. But I hope there are prizes for the shiniest car
Let it be known to ALL who are tracking their cars.... DRIVE WITHIN YOUR OWN ABILITIES!!!!!!
EDIT: Those who are thinking this a like a "Summer Nats" but for RX8s only.... IT"S NOT! Get that image out of your mind. It's more along the lines of a meet and greet, friendly drive day with extras...

Thankyou LJ!
All will be made much clearer (hopefully) when you read the Event Guide and complete the attached Entry Form. This has now been finalised and those who have 'committed' to the event will be advised how they can get hold of it.
We would ask those whose expectations aren't met in every respect to please remember that (to paraphrase horribly) 'you can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time'.
However, knowing what I know about what's in store, I don't think anybody will be disappointed they came.
Those who believe they can do a better job are more than welcome to organise the next one. :D

Hey boyz.......
Think some of you are being paranoid... Just enjoy the day, dont do anything foolish on the track and everything should be sweet.
Remember most of you are past the hormone driven teens (L&L no comment ), so am pretty sure no1 will be stupid on the track. I am VERY sure none of you want to cause any damage to ur own cars, therefore will take a lot of care. So fingers crossed you wont need nothing claimed with insurance or mazda.
Main idea behind this whole meet was not to hire a track and hoon around. It is mainly so every1 can meet each other. Other car clubs have done the same and they managed to get through this.
I understand most have their concerns, and I agree wit LittleJohn, in that case u are going at ur own risk.
Thats my DOLLARS worth guys :D

GUIDE and ENTRY FORM email sent to everyone on "the list"
OK, I have sent an email to everyone on the "committed" list with details for registration and payment for the Nationals.
PLEASE NOTE YOU NEED TO COMPLETE, RETURN YOUR ENTRY AND MAKE PAYMENT BY TUESDAY 19 SEPTEMBER
After this date, we will be inviting those on the waiting list to submit entries, so failure to return by that date may mean you miss out.
Any questions, PM or email me....timbo_rx8@mac.com
