Good luck! I will definitely look for you there. Fingers crossed that my little guy loves it as much as I do.
Habs, have fun at the show. I didn't even know that was happening next weekend...

Hey guys I am actually racing at this event. Please come over and say high, I would love to meet you. I also may have crew spots available if you want free tickets for all three days... No promises yet but pm me if you want me to try for you. (it would be kinda last minute)

tcole6- We're on vacation all next week and are heading to Wildwood Wed. Found a nice condo on VRBO. Thought the motels were high priced for this early in May. Haven't been to South Jersey in 16 years . That's crazy, as my dad was born and raised in Atlantic City, went to Holy Spirit HS. Our family had a camper outside Sea Isle City from '78 to '86. Partied every weekend on Pacific Ave in Wildwood. It looks like they are trying to get more cars in the Spring Show, opening it up to sports cars, tuners, trucks,ect. The fall show is only for Muscle Cars and Street Rods. We're in just for fun, as our 8 is not a garage queen. Heck, this car's to much fun NOT to drive it. Stop and say hello if you see us. '06 Velocity Red w/ some tasteful mods. PA plate- RXOTIC 8 We'll also be at the Carlisle Import and Kit show the weekend after.

Some friends and I may take a road trip there in the 8. Probably only for saturday though, since that's the main race. NJMP is only 2 hours from me, so its do-able.
Last Grand am race I was at was at VIR last year. I love my 8, but after 9 hours in it everything starts to get dreary. Though for being 6'3" I was more comfy in the back seats than the front. Gotta love wankle powered road trips. Course my wallet said otherwise.

Habs24_7 will look for you. I will be the sadly 100% stock LY car there (unless my Tein basics make it in before then and I can get an appointment with JPR...).
Might try to make the car show as well. I'm only 75 minutes from there.
Yeah prices "down the shore" are going back up. Just two years ago you could get a steal if you were willing to wait until the last minute. This year if you wait, everything is gone.

My wife and I will be there, just over 2 hours away by the time it rolls around. Should be there all 3 days.
Look forward to seeing you race Stephen! It's been a few years since we keep running into each other, starting with NHMS just after you picked up the 8's chassis

Well Patrick Dempsey is racing and I told her she would get to see him. I am going to try my hardest to get her an opportunity to meet him and then that would be her best mothers day ever! One of the reasons she let me race an RX8 is because he did... yup I played every card I could to convince her to let me spent a **** ton of money on this! lots of kissing up to her as well
Last year we went to the sox game and she loved it, so ya I guess I am pretty lucky!
Broda if you want to go let me know! I think i have an extra ticket...

If anyone else is trying to help, I can pass in favor of them. No need to waste the free ticket part on me

make sure to wear sunscreen and maybe bring a chair, leaning on the fence for hours isnt fun.
EDIT: can we even fit a beach chair in our car? lol

Click the link below for tickets to Saturday or Sundays Mazda Corrall. This will bring you directly to NJMP.

They also have a thread on this site with info. I think the person in charge is Marlin and he is active on that thread here on the RX8club forums.
Looks like it is a cool package with free go karts included! I attened the LRP corall last year since I wasn't racing and had an opportunity to meet a lot of great people.
