Jamie Mitchell sent me an e-mail this morning. I am the only one registered for an RX-8 or RX-7. Kinda sad with all the owners in this area and having SpeedSource in our backyard just once a year. The deadline is the 14th.

YOU SIR ARE MADE OF "THE AWSOME"

I was afraid I was not going to be able to afford it right now due to the move to Miami but extending the deadline just increased my chances. Hehehe...Someone owes me money and I plan on collecting a small portion of it this week.

Come on Guys and Girls:

Now that Seebring is over, consider coming to the Rolex GrandAm at Homestead Speedway the 29th and watch the SpeedSource guys try to extend their win streak against the Porsches and evil Pontiacs.

Post Can someone give me the skinny?

I just scanned this thread, is today the deadline to get in on the group rate? If I signup today for tickets, would it be possible to get in on the Parade Lap with my RX8?

Still detoxing from Sebring...whew!!!!

I missd being at Sebring and from what I saw on Speed TV, it was great.

Contact Jamie Mitchell at (305)230-5255 today at Homestead Speedway today for details regarding getting you registered over the telephone and details on the parade lap.
Hope to see you there.

Well I tried to call the number but no answer and it eventually hangs up on me and thats not the bad news. Seems I am broke till midnight tonight when I get payed (due to moving to Miami). I was hoping to call Jamie and ask him if he is willing to accept my payment tomorrow over the phone. If not then I regret that I will not be able to go. I was really hoping I could go again...It was so much fun last time!!

I contacted Tremblay Sylvain and told him some of us are taking him up on his invitation to visit his paddock area. I will be in the Corall about 8:30 in the morning. If you have a paddock pass, lets get together and check out SpeedSources paddock area. Nordic Green 2004. When I spoke to Jamie Mitchell, he said three people bought tickets, either from the RX-8 Club or Rotary4Life Club.

Geez, if this wasn't 1200 miles for me, I would definitely be there.
Had a great time last year at mid-Ohio. SpeedSource are great folks - let my kid sit in the 70 right after it had been rolled back to the Paddock after the race and gave him a souvenir lug nut to boot.

Sorry I missed you. Looks like SpeedSource had tire problems according to what I was told in their paddock area. Right front was showing threads during qualifications.

I was at speed jams on saturday, but i was invited by the insurance company Gainsco since my agency works with them, so I got VIP passes into the champion's hall / Playboy club.

I was at the 3 doors down concert





But i spent most of my time with these lovely ladies






This girl is really down to earth and i actually spent a couple hours chatting with her, Miss novermber 2005 playboy playmate Raquel Gibson.
