If you ever wanted to see a Grand Am Rolex Series DP or GT race car up close, I mean as reach out and touch one, this is your chance! There will be at least 4 teams running Mazda RX-8s in the GT class during the race so come out and support them!

Well some of us had a lot of fun today and plan on continuing it tomorrow! Actually we had a damn good turnout of Mazda owners. Met lots of cool people, saw lots of great racing.
