Default Mazda Zoom-Zoom event

Did anyone attend the Mazda Zoom-zoom event over at FedEx field today? I saw a couple of Zs parked there. Not sure if they are members here.

Anyways...I went to the event today. It was good. I drove the MazdaSpeed 6, CX-7, CX-5, miata, and RX-8. Best part was they had tracks setup for all the vehicles so you could push it. The RX-8 was an amazing drive in terms of handling. My god...I took turns on it so hard and sharp and it just took them with no problems. I really want to do this with my Z! lol..got to find some local trackers.

They have it tomorrow too in case anyone is intersted in attending.

The miata was fun, but I think the problem was the track of the miata course was much shorter than for the rx-8 so I was able to really push the rx8 pretty hard for a much longer period.

I was up there Sunday. Man I was tearing up the courses. I ended up winning some small car prize. I also got a talking to twice about driving the Miata way too hard. I was having fun trying to drift it around that one huge turn. Good times!

Oh nice. Well I thought ur Z was hot back at the AAM meet. I went about learning about the Evo R wing since one of the things I didn't like about the Nismo wing is the base.
