Some updated info:
The Thursday track time is only for those that will be racing. In other words, not us. We are working on some alternatives. Wide open hot laps will likely not be on the menu, but you should get a chance to stretch your legs a bit.
The races take place rain or shine, but truly torrential rain can cause a delay. No night racing.
We're still working on details. Between GRM/CM and HSR, it takes a bit of time to get answers.
I don't know how many cars we'll bring. I'm going to guess 2-3.

Keith, thanks for the update.
To anyone who has been to the event. Where is the best tent location? Looks like outside of the track straight in the trees is a good spot. Are the showers decent? We are most likely gonna stay @ the Hotel (already booked), but, may choose to camp depending on how the event schedule works out for our group.

I'm thinking about camping too and would like to know that. ^^
I reached out to the IB guys again today to try and get things moving again. Any word from Monster Miata if Martin has reached out to his customers about the event? I'm thinking that needs to happen pretty soon both from him and FM for people to plan and make reservations.
94 days and counting! Oh and you may have noticed we added 3 cars today....
Edit just got word from a guy on LS1tech he is coming so we have added 4 cars today! Come on Ford guys where are you???

Jim,
Just posting here that I'm working towards coming. With elderly parents on both sides very little out of town is certain these days, but we're working on it.
Have a good one,
Mike

I feel for you Mike and understand it well. I hope it works out for you to get away just because I know how good it is to have a mental break as you tend to them.

I'm going to start a new thread to kick around ideas for shirts to the event. I figure this is going to be a discussion of it's own so if you want to talk about it go:

Tentatively, my Father and I are going, I have the plan together anyway. My counterpart had his visa expire, but my normal rotation ends a week before the mitty. As long as he gets his visa, I'll be there. I may fly in, or we may take the challenger.
Jim are you driving or flying?

Well, its a hell of a drive jim, oof. If we go, I'll co-drive my dad's challenger, the 3 just isnt' the most great tourer, unless of course I need to transport an engine or something back. can you believe an LS7 fits in the back? ha
*oh, if you help build the LS7, does that mean you have to pay me, like if you build your own LS7 through Chevy at the performance build center? That sounds like a great idea! Oh, I crack me up...

We're starting to work on details over here. Here's a rough outline:
Friday: touring day. You're welcome to meet at the corral and use that as a starting point for drives. All the FM guys will be busy so someone else will have to lead.
Friday night: There's usually a Mazda party at the GRM tent, if memory serves.
Saturday: show day. Descend upon the corral. Hang out and check out V8 Miatas (and their offshoots) as well as some other great cars and racing. It's tough to get in and out of the track on Saturday. We are working on some high speed touring laps as well.
Saturday night: Dinner. We usually meet up with the Atlanta locals on Saturday night, and we might as well make this into a big V8 party. We already have a location for this at a local restaurant.

I've never been, so I can go either way. The weekend is dedicated either way for me, and heading home Sunday or Monday both work.
BTW, sent you a PM.
Have a good one,
Mike

I signed up for the traqmate skidpad challenge on Sunday. I'm going to get there on Thursday. Touring on Friday sounds great!
