I can finally breathe again after the LMP2 race car went into the truck safely last night with me in the car steering it....The feeling of 1.5 million right under your *** is both exciting and terrifying...so much carbon fiber, so little time!
Moreover, I just want to express my gratitude to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU in making this event a resounding success.
From the flyers, to volunteers showing up at freaking 7am, to photographers, to the guys who simply have faith and get the legendary never seen before Rx8 (and Rx7s Neo lol) out, to those who were not able to come but send their regards, to those who said they would come but didn't showed up, everyone of you contributed to this event as a whole.
Before I finally bought the car last summer, frankly I don't see a lot of forum activities here (lurking since 2003 fck). Most people were jaded owners already or moved on to other cars, while Al was not happy about the concept of "forum-talk" about dealerships at all (still is lol).
Maybe its my bitching effort, or maybe just because of the right used-car price time, or maybe Al's passion of motorsports and mazdas finally getting known by the community, the forums turned back alive in 2008. In addition, with the new wave of new young punk owners and their energy/passion/naiveness, even the old timers got fired up again and somehow, somewhere, a bond has been built.
Be it late night(unexpected) installation session plus home audio PS3 bash, be it internet gangsta fight, be it meets and cruising organization, and ultimately track day addiction treatment sessions (to get more addicted), the community was revived and been even more active since the hay days back in 2003-5.
I am very happy to be part of this community, and only have best wishes to every one of you in the many future miles and miles of rortary power. May the rotards be with you.
Thank you.
P.S: All ppl who took tons of pics (Jay, Rx8_Scoot, Ka Kui to name a few) please make a copy and give it to Al so he can take it all and burn it to DVDs and send it to corresponding parties telling them Mazda drivers in Canada cares about motorsports....so we can get even more support next year! Thank you!

Can you burn me one and leave it at Promise so i can pick it up some time along the week?
On a side note, seeing your avatar Al I remember that blue and orange FD that was parked in the front. Im wondering why the Shift *** is so high and where the Speedometer is cause i could only find a tachometer.

Okay , as far as we can tell 257 people paid the $5.00 entry fee. There was close to that wandering around that didnt pay. The number of cars is hard to pin point because people were coming and going all day. We counted cars a couple of times and were over 120 at any given point. The silent auction raised about $785.00 so we donated just over $2000.00 to sick kids! We didnt count cars by model so I have no definitive numbers but I would say the RX7's were the biggest by far!
