A little more tidbit for everyone and a bit of clarification on a few things regarding the meet.<p>The event is FREE to attend. If you wish to compete you pay the $20 entry fee, you will be fed and have the opportunity to win CASH and some of the better door prizes. We are expecting about 100 cars in the competition. <p>We are dividing the venue into 3 area's, competition area for vendors and competing cars, a Mazda Only "meet" parking area for all mazda vehicles, and an area for other vechicles. All three area's are located within the same parking lot so you will not be that far away from the vendors or competeing cars. <p>"The only reason for the entry fee to compete is that someone has to pay for the prizes and the event. We are getting several thousand dollars of prizes from our sponsors, but that doesn't pay the bills that are going to incur. <p>This is a learning process for us and we are doing what we can. For those from the various clubs that have volunteered to help and that have attended the planning meetings, I thank you for your time and effort, and we will pull this off. <p>This is not a money making venture as some may seem to think it is, if we are lucky we should break even. It is merely a venue to meet and compete with other Mazda enthusist. <p>There will be one more planning meeting in early July, and we will finalize all the details then and send out the information to all clubs. <p>However the whole point of the meet is to "MEET" other mazda owners and that is why we were not going to set up "reserved" parking. Everyone usually knows the members of their own club already. Try to get out and meet some new people. <p>Bieu - President
