Rolex/IndyCar/Speed Jam Followup:

I contacted Jamie Mitchell, Markerting Promotions, Homestead Speedway this week. He is looking for people in the RX-8 Club that want to participate in the 3rd annual Car Club exhibition. This is a pretty neat deal especially the Custom Package whic provides;
One ticket to the Speedjam event.
One Corral Parking Pass at the Grandstands.
One Paddock Pass that allows access into the infield of the track.

Please contact myself via this posting and Jamie ( jmitchell@homesteadmiamispeedway ) to see if we can come up with enough people to participate and have a great time. The Speed Source Team will be there, hopefully continuing their winning streak after a great victory at the Daytona 24.

Hello Sylvain,

I am working with Jamie Mitchell, Marketing Rep for Homestead Speedway for the RX-8 Club to participate with the Exhibition Corral at the upcoming Rolex Race at Homestead. We are pushing for our own corral to be in the Paddock behind your pit area. I am getting a good response from our members as we want to be there to support your team.

Good luck.

Any chance you can convince them to give me a Jersey? The blue one they are wearing...Unless they changed it from last years.

I'll Try to reach Sylvain by telephone. I would like one as well. I'm just happy to get the invitation.

Jamie is trying to get the number of cars reduced in order for us guys and girls to participate in the parade lap.

You guys would really be missing out on this. I remember the first time we tried this we had a great turnout of rotaries (not just RX8s). You may want to focus on that and try contacting Betsey (Mantis) and her guys up north. She and the guys (Scott too) really came through for the 8's.

I can try and influence HMS to give you guys the parade lap regardless (and maybe some shirts or front row for the concert), but why bother if no one is going to show?
