Jumping back in on the Friday dinner thing. Have a lead on a restaurant owned by one of the Spec Miata racers, and comes highly recommended--La Mia Cucina in Pacific Grove. Upstairs room that can hold 20+. I'll pursue if there's interest.

Having never been to track can I get some suggestions as to where to watch the action from? Best viewing spots?
Thanks Rich |
Everywhere....Too many places to go from the Grandstands to the Cork-Screw. It's a nice track and you can see most all of it.

Here are my favorite areas to watch from:
Turns 8 & 8A = the cork screw. On the hill you can also see turn 9. If you're lucky and early you can get a spot close to the track or under the trees. Which ever suits you. Turns 1 & 2 Andretti hair pin. The hill there is small. But plenty of action and over-taking there. Also it's right next to the where the Porsche corral (usually) is. Turn 11 in the grand stands. You can see the cars coming down the hill, braking hard and getting set up for the straight away/ finish line. Check them out here: http://www.mazdaraceway.com/track-map-racing-lines |
I'll be there with the wife, staying in Carmel. Not bringing 993 though :(

:roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao: I hope you aren't a Hairy JoAnne! xxxxooooxxxxooooxxxoooooxxxxoooooxxxxoooooxxxooooxxxoooooxxxooooxxxoooox ooooxoooooooxxxxooooxxxxxooooxoxooooxoooooxx ooops..... You guys really are THE BEST. IF you can do this through out the day, it would save me a TON of time to do it myself. A running total. :) Whoever helps keep the total up to date and correct will get a BIG HUG from me at RR IV, that is, as long as you don't have a cold or the koodies or something. I'm weird that way. If you sneeze, I walk the other way. I guess it's a phobia of some sort. Where is Dr. Phil when you need him? Really the BEST. THE BEST!!!! |
OK, so how do I add my name, etc. to the list? I guess I'm technologically challenged!
Phil |
Copy and Paste and add your name.
Viola! It's DONE! You are official. :) Skywachr ~ Tony So Joyce is coming? YIPEEEE!!! Nothing like total Porsche Immersion. HEAD FIRST. Hope she likes it. Monterey Best Western or the Best Western Park Crest? |
Adding my name as well, probably solo but maybe my wife or my son will join me. Driving up in my 73 911S and doing the Parade lap. Staying at the Hyatt Monterey. I went to RRII in 2007 at Daytona; you are all in for quite a treat. Like drinking from a firehose!!! Cant wait.
