i think it should take a year off and come back next year old school style.
good eats and nice cars, and a "we're all a family" atmosphere.
after the sussex county fair one i stopped going, i could see the downward spiral coming lol. once you bring it to a racetrack the mindless morons showup to brag about their 16 second cars with all the free mods they did to it.
amp, my fd should be running again soon, we should get some guys together for a trip to VIR, maybe some porsche group or something wouldnt mind us jumping on board if they rented the track. I'm down for VIR in a heartbeat.

Im up for anything on a smaller scale.
One of the reasons I always liked these cars is because there will never be one next to you at a light.
I dont care of the entire country wants to read about the cars- they dont care either.
I dont also dont want to be the minority at a huge car show with how few will come.
I pretty much think no matter what the event is you will peak where RF was- thats less then 175 cars or so.
Another few hundred cars are not going to magically appear and attend.
And sadly if sevenstock has had no influence on how mazda does things then nothing will.
Fact of the matter is mazda does not care about people keeping thier old cars going, they want people to buy NEW cars.
