The 24 Hours of Daytona-Gauging Interest

[Turbo II]

January is just a few months away! Anyone up for a road trip?


From Marlon Sumlin:

After a successful event @ VIR, I met with Grand-Am officials to discuss the 2010 season. Of course the the first event is the 24 Hours of Daytona! Here is what was discussed.

1. Private Camping Area for Mazda owners

2. Special Pricing for Mazda Corral Attendees

3. Special Viewing for the KONI Challenge Races (atop the garages)

4. Raffles for Piloti Shoes, KONI & Rolex Flags and other swag

5. Personal Paddock Tours of all of the Mazda Teams w. Photo Ops/Autographs

6. Tech Talks w/ Grand-Am Officials, Pirelli & Hoosier Tires and KONI

7. Viewing Party @ Freedom Autosports Paddock (they have a 50" HD TV) Rolex Race

We are working on other special deals and activities for Mazda owners, if you have any ideas, please feel free to let me know and I will pass them on!.

As many of you know, there will be more RX-8's running in 2010, Team Sahlen's is going to be running 2-RX-8's, Dempsey Racing is rumored to have purchased a second car, so these added to the Racers Edge and the SpeedSource cars means a lot more flames and the unique exhaust notes of the 3-rotor motor!

On top of that, we'll see the debut of the 2010 Speed 3's in the KONI Challenge ST Class with Freedom Autosport and Team MER, (who may be leaving the MX-5 Cup to move to Grand-Am KONI Challenge racing!)

So, once again, let Mazda outshine all of the others with the most numbers of cars and members.
