CTRA Limerock meet May 25th 12:00pm




As the flier states, we will be having our second annual meet in conjunction with the Grand Am series at LimeRock Park in Lakeville, CT. Some more details are being hammered out as we speak. We are working with Mazda to sponsor the food for all those who attend. We are also working with Speedsource and Riley Racing to get into the paddocks and drool all over the 20b RX8's!

As of right now this event will be free of charge for admittance, but Limerock is working out the details.

Worst comes to worst it will be a huge meet with the NYRA and NJRA at a great venue. http://www.limerock.com/content/track-track-map

As time moves forward I will let people know if we are BBQing (all will chip in) or they are providing. We should have a very large tent for all of us to hang under.
P.S. Beer can be consumed, but no drinking and driving.

The meet will start around 12:00pm, but we are having a pre meet and cruse at 10:15am at the usual spot in Stamford (leaving at 10:30am). The Park & Ride off the Merritt Parkway exit 35 (High Ridge Rd).


Tickets for the rest of the event can be purchased through the Lime Rock ticket office for Friday, Saturday and Monday. The main race will be Monday and we will be gathering again to root on the rotary teams!

I'm eyeballing your meet.


Cruise, you say? Something more than just the ride north to Limerock?


I'm definitely interested, and should be able to make it.

Yeah, we will look into doing a local cruise up at Limerock. I dont know the area, so it may be an informal thing. The meet is picking upsteam as we have people from all over coming up. Some are staying the whole weekend! I think hanging out and having a nice BBQ with friends in such a great location is going to be awesome.

Hey Jason,

It's all good. I'm glad you invited me down to Bear MTN. I'm going to try to make it down this year.

Update: The met and greet with the racers has been arranged for Sunday in the paddocks. There will be no charge as of this date for coming into Limerock Park on Sunday the 25th. We will have at least one BBQ, so if you have one, bring it along. Also, please make sure you bring something to contribute to the food.

MAZDASPEED CORRAL AT LIMEROCK FOR GRAND-AM SERIES

As you know we have convinced LIMEROCK to allow us to have a car meet and BBQ at limerock park on Sunday May 25th, 2008. They originally had an event planned but was cancelled. We know many of you have purchased tickets for Fri,Sat, and Monday and we wanted to complete the weekend. Those of you who didnt purchase any tickets but want to come and have a car meet, feel free to join us. PLEASE DO!!!!

There will be NO ADMISSION CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So all you rotary guys should definately come out and chill. You may also have the opportunity to have a meet and greet with the Mazda Race Teams (Speedsource, Riley Racing, Hypersport, Racers Edge, Roar Racing etc). Not 100% but damn near close.

We will be refining this portion in the oncoming weeks.

Only 1 thing you need to do is fill out a WAIVER, saying that if anything happens to you the park is not responsible.

Please NOTE: There is no racing on Sundays at LRP, therefore no parade laps. Parade laps are for ticket holders on Friday and Saturday.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quick Overview for those of you who dont want to sort out through all these pages.

FRIDAY: Qualifying for KONI Challenge (13B RX-8's), ROLEX GT (20B RX-8s). Parade Laps scheduled. NEED TICKETS TO ATTEND $15.00 per person

SATURDAY: Race Day for KONI Challenge. Meet and Greet with the Race Teams Scheduled. Parade Laps Scheduled. NEED TICKETS TO ATTEND $25.00 per person

SUNDAY: NO RACING. Meet and Greet (still working on schedule). NO ADMISSION CHARGE/NO TICKETS NEEDED. FREE FOR EVERYONE TO ATTEND WITH A ROTARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sponsored by CTRA (Connecticut Rotary Association)

MONDAY: Race Day for ROLEX GT Series. NO Meet and Greet with the Race teams. NO PARADE LAPS. NEED TICKETS TO ATTEND $40.00 per person

TICKET CODES:

FRIDAY: GAGTMAZDAFRI $15.00 w/ Parade Laps
SATURDAY: GAGTMAZDASAT $25.00 w/ Parade Laps
MONDAY: GAGTMAZDAMON $40.00 NO PARADE LAPS
PACKAGE: GAGTMAZDAWKND $60.00

HOW TO PURCHASE TICKETS:

When you call please contact Mike O’Flinn he is the "Ticketing and Promotions"
Coordinator.

ADDRESS
497 Lime Rock Road
Lakeville, CT 06039 USA

+1 860 435 5000

***Reason for pre-registering was to try and obtain some more $$$ from Mazda to sponsor catered lunches for all attendees. We were unable to get that (Come prepared), but all those that have pre-registered are guarenteed to get a Mazdaspeed Tshirt/Hat. We will def try to get extras so everyone can have some, and im pretty sure we can work that out with Mazda USA/Mazdaspeed.

Last year me and john found this nice little italian spot that has some really good heroes (eh um i mean WEDGE). I can def try and find that address and give it to you guys, its only about 15 minutes from the park.

I hope all this info helps summarize it all. I will be very busy in the oncoming weeks with projects, tests, and then Finals, so i wont be around as much.

So please come out and join the CTRA hosted meet at Limerock Park on Sunday, its FREE!.

Best Regards,

Jason, NYRA
