Rolex 24-Daytona - I didn't go last year, maybe this one
VIR** - I would like to see this track
Mid-Ohio** - I'll be back
Road America** - Depends on ticket prices. They were high this year.
Belle Isle-Detroit - I'm interested
Indy - Doubled up with Nascar, No Thanks.

We expect the prices to be lower for the Road America event, we did express our concern over pricing.

Belle Isle-Detroit? Sweet! I'm definitely interested in that one! That would be a short drive for me, coming from Lansing. Maybe I'll be able to do that one, Mid-Ohio (as I have for the last two years) and Indy (although I want to hear more about the doubling-up with NASCAR--I don't want to be there if it's going to be a zoo).

Sweet, it is going to be huge. Also, you know about the VIR track day in February, right? We'll have things finalized by the end of this month.

For you So Cal and No Cal folks, check out these videos of the Mid-Ohio corral, Presented by Castrol

Here is the a quick video from the Castrol Folks From Mid-Ohio

All,

The link below takes you to a short video recap we put together of the Mid-OH event. Echoing what everyone else said earlier we enjoyed being part of the show and look forward to more in ’12. While video production isn’t what we do as a ‘job’, I think it’s at least a serviceable effort that captures the excitement for those who weren’t there…plus we’ve got Timko and his panda hat on video for all eternity.

Anyway hope you all like it and feel free to use any way you want. We’ll add to our FB, our site and get out to the rest of our club network.

Thanks,

Mark & Shine Box Guys

PS – blast your speakers and watch in HD full screen for best effect



here's a teaser video that was produced for zoom, zoom magazin from Mid-Ohio as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=JGjdxT8eGRA


this is what you can expect at Mazda Raceway in 2012

Yep saw the post on CVMC...so far 3 of us over there are committed to going. I was wondering if the price is for one vehicle or for one driver? My wife wants to drive as well for a session or two, if I have to pay for a second entry fee for her thats fine. You can pm me all the details and I'll let my NC Rotary guys know as well.

We should have this finalized soon, as we'll have the final pricing etc.

Last year the Lime Rock car corral was full of BMWs. It was hideous.

Lime Rock is back and we are also adding Indy......there were no BMW's in our corral @ Lime Rock Park! Yes, the dates for Mazda Raceway have changed, but we'll have the Castrol Package there.

Already marked my calendar for Laguna Seca and I'll most likely be bringing 2 Mazdas with me and as many RX8 owners as I can rally for the road trip.
