how was it? i was signed up to go but i was really tired from a concert the night before and ended up not making it. really wish i would have made it out there :tear:

Was it just me or did it seem like they were getting more strict as the day went on? Particularly on the RX8/MX5 course. Although I never had my badge "clipped", I received a friendly warning... and that was the round I was probably easiest on the car.

Oh well, it was a BLAST anyway.

Boy, the Speed6's had taken a beating though in their 700 mile life. Their tranny's felt very clunky by comparison to mine. There was also a Silver RX8 that had a 2nd gear synchro going out. It was impossible to make the 1-2 shift without grinding it.

Kudos to Mazda anyway. Another good event under their belt.

ahhaaha ya......We were at the Mazdaspeed6 tent......mmmmmmmmmmm.........Dont cha' just love the smell of burning clutches?!.....but we had an AWESOME time!

Oh yeah, at the end of sunday the attendants were REALLY strict at the MX-5/RX-8 course. I got a good last RIDE (I emphasize because I was NOT driving) with a friend I met on the 8-forums. He did a wicked clutch-kick around a curve and did a good 360, taking out all the cones on the inside of the curve. They were pissed to the point that as a passenger, I got my card TAKEN (he did too, obviously) and they escorted us outside the premises.

It was reported that the folks running the show got so pissed that they threatened to shut the event down early (there was ~30-45 minutes left) if ANYONE did ANYTHING REMOTELY out of line. Do I know how to go out with a bang or what? =) lol

Awesome. Wish I could have seen that one.

Watching a Speed6 performing a 4wheel drift right into the Finish Line sign and timing lights was pretty cool too. They loved to point out the fact that driver had turned off DSC the entire rest of the day.

 

[nashirak]

Of course, as a counter to the DSC argument, Trel (ATL) got one of the better times of the day, and he ran with the DSC off.

I wanted to point out to the guy that the DSC is only a big help to those that can't drive.

Too bad I didn't check the forums first. Would've been nice to meet some other board members. My best time was a 28.8 on the speed challenge. Pretty good considering I can't drive worth crap.

Man, I wish I had known some of you were meeting up at this. I'm not too active on this site.

The Mazda event was awesome. I was there last year too and I'm amazed they put that on across the country for free. Anyway, I got there right at 8 a.m. on Saturday and there weren't many people there yet at all. I got to take four runs straight in the RX-8 before there was even a line.

My best time on the Mazdaspeed Challenge was a 25.9. It was on my third run, so it didn't technically count. Although they did let me come back for a bonus run because I had the best time for the 10:00 hour.

Let me know if there's any other events you plan to meet at. How many of us in the Atlanta area are there?

I was in line and watched you make that run. If I remember correctly, we all applauded you.

I had not seen another MS6 on the road here until that event... I passed another WWPearl MS6 in the parking lot. I know there are others out there.

 

[spiker98]

The other WWpearl MS6 could have been ATL's (Trel) he was also there with us.

If that was you ATL (Trel) I was the tall goofy guy that waived to you as I was pulling out of the parking lot in my WWPearl Speed. Nice to... well, NOT meet you.

It was good to finally see another one on the road and not sitting at the freaking Mazda dealership.

Atlanta Dragway is having a test & tune this Saturday from noon - 6pm. Anyone else gonna be there? I think I'll see what my car can do. I just changed the oil at 1400 miles, so I reckon it's broke in enough to do a few passes.
