Not a fan of assumptions. It would be nice to know how they are going to alot us space. Certainly don't want us scattered all over hells half acre. On Sunday, they ASSUMED noone from our club was going to be there, soooo... no soup for you. They were kind enough to park us over by the ********. Very nice.

well, then when TA gets back, we will need to see if he can contact whoever it is he has been in contact with, and see about getting some answers to those questions. better than getting someone else involved, and getting different answers, or confusing things.

Do we know how many are staying over for Sunday, that will be something they ask him, I am sure of that. I know I am staying for Sunday.

I don't know if this is the most accurate list, I tried to look through it, and I am not sure who else is staying for Sunday, I put down the ones I know. So if you see yourself missing from one or both lists, please add it, to make TA's job a little easier when he gets back.

EDIT:
I just got the check for the remainder of the Georgia RX-8 Club EZ-UP from Grassroots and Classic Motorsports. I will get it to TA next time I see him, since it is made out to him.

I don't think you will have a problem getting a partner. But if for some strange reason you do. I'll work it out with you. Let me know. I've been doing way too much and I need to spend more time with the wife. Sorry!

careful with the wording there Silver, I DO NOT need a partner, but if someone needs a roomie for this event, that would be ok. Not looking for a partner.

Yeah, the DP & GT cars run on Sunday. I have watched every race this season, and have really enjoyed following it. So I am definitely in for Sunday, they are faster, louder and crazier than the ST & GS guys, and a lot of fun to watch. A few of the DP & GT drivers are also drivers in the other class.

I got an email from the folks at Barber yesterday, just about their new picture gallery. I think I wasted at least 30 minutes yesterday just looking through them. This is going to be a lot of fun. And it looks like our turnout is going to be great, the biggest gathering for us yet.

In my group of 7, I'm the only rotorhead. The other guys just like cars a lot.

Bring them all on.

I am sure anyone and all is welcome to hang out with us as we are a very friendly group but I think only the 8's will be allowed to park with us in the coral. The other cars may get sent to another spot to park. Look forward to seeing you there. Now if I can just decide on if I want to stay for Sunday so I can go ahead and purchase my ticket....

Heather at BARBER said we would be able to park other cars (sports cars) in our corral as long as they are with our club. Mustang, Miata, Panoz Roadster, Viper... all welcome if you are a friend of the club and purchase through our club registration online.

Details to come!
So i believe that all club members can join the corral, right?

jkeberhart, thanks for bringing this up. The turnout for this years club ticket purchase is so much larger than we expected that we are concerned that if we are not careful, we will not be able to get all of the RX-8's in the corral. Last year we had about 12 participants and as of right now we have 50 people on the registered list here on this forum. That is a HUGE increase and much more than we could have dreamed of participating. Because of this TrackAddict and I are concerned that if we do not allow the RX-8s to have a contiguous area that some of them may be left out due to space limitations and that just would not be fair to the RX-8 Club.

So, TrackAddict will be contacting Barber tomorrow and letting them know how many people it looks like we may be having (could possibly exceed 75) and see what our limitation on space is. They may say 20, 30 or 40 cars. I have no clue! Let's see what he finds out and post here for us. I hope you understand the dilemma. What a great problem.

What I'd like to see happen is that we keep all RX-8s, RX-7s and other cars in a contiguous section within the corral with the RX-8s being up front or to one side.

Everyone registering through the club will get a ticket discount and can come to the corral even if we run out of space.

Let's just see what TA comes up with.

Roar Racing would like to extend an invitation to the RX-8 Club and any race fan to come by our tent and spend some time with our team throughout the race weekend. Last year we had a great turnout and met some really nice people. Hope to see you there.

Nick,
Those are some sweet looking 8's!!! I will definately stop by and gaulk at those gorgeous cars for a while.

Hey L8,
I bought the ticket that grants me access on all three days so if you still have that spot available for the room then I'll fill it if you don't mind.

Nick, Thanks for your offer! I assure you there will be a nice size group to come by and discuss, look, take pics, listen and just admire your cars. I talked with Rob W. already and he is expecting us as well.

Thanks!

Let's just see what TA comes up with.
Just got off the phone with my contact at Barber. There will be no problem with space so anyone who gets a ticket through our car club and selects the parking pass and be allowed to park in our designated space. As SilverEight said, we need to keep the cars in the corral sporty rather than staid family cars. They have asked me to supply them with a list of the cars we will be parking in our area so they can prep accordingly. They can park non rotary cars to the side but still a part of the group. Please post up what kind of car you will be in for the event.
