Count me in. Been waiting for a while and it's about time. Hopefully my car will be ready by then as it is still sitting on jack stands waiting for replacement parts to arrive If not, I might have to bring my other non-mazda car

 

just FYI: Saturday on-track activity is open to all marques, and Sunday is Mazda ONLY... just so we don't have any confusion at the track. Thanks guys...

Hope you get ur 8 done by then.

-Bern

 

I completely missed this post! Did not even know it was on again.

 

well hurry-up and sign up my man... hope to see you out there tearing up the track in the 8!

Luckly you caught the post in time!

-Bern

 

Loud and clear And I'm in; Most anticipate parts are arrived. Just have to sort out the clutch release bearing and it's all good to go, probably by next week. It'll be my third year participating hopefully no mishap this year

Hau

 

Hau, great deal bro, look forward to seeing you out there another year!

C'mon boys, lets get the 8 track-squad out in full force!!!

If you can't do the track portion, come on out and enjoy the day at the track with your fellow Mazda enthusiast. Don't forget there will be race car ride alongs too.


-Bern

 

I'm signed up for Saturday only (biking Mammoth Mt. Sunday).
Anyone else at Buttonwillow for just Saturday?

Buttonwillow can get hot in July. 2 years ago at Mazfest, experienced brake fade for the first time late in the afternoon. At the time had 20K on the brakes and quite a few track days. Rotors warped shortly thereafter.
2004 -MT - RacingBrake BBK - Revi intake -

 

Are you Roger? If so good to see you coming out, if if just Saturday. Hau V is signed up for both days.

See you boys out there.

Guys there are still spots left for the track... let's get a few more RX-8s out.

-Bern

 

Thanks to all the 8 owners who made it out... there were quite a few peeps out including two full race type 8s running all day. Here is the first few sets of pics for you all.... hope to see a lot more 8s next year!
