MAZDA REV IT UP

Whats up,
I just went came home from the Mazda Rev It Up event in Orange County, California. I recommend everyone to attend. Its #39 buck but it is so worth it. I test drove all the cars. Miata is a blast to drive, but too small for me. Drifted with the MazdaSpeed and Miata. The Mazda 6s is great too. There are three learning clinics. 1. slamon 2. brake and turn 3. line These will all improve your driving skills. Next is Willow Spring and Bud Millow for me. I truly believe that the driver makes the car go fast, not the parts in the car. Don't spend too much money on parts, improve your skills by going schools and tracks.

For those attending, I got 37.86 seconds on the first try and 37.1 seconds on the second try.

I would do that, but it's not coming up here to Seattle, which blows, I was down in LA about 3 weeks ago and heard all about it on the radio and was like "damn, wanna go to that, stupid ghetto seattle..."

ANYWAY... I wanna see other people post their times.

I think that would be awesome. I have always wanted to take Skip Barber's program. I wonder if this "Rev It Up" is just as good.

my friends went to a vip event in san fran. i was totally jealous.
the only bad thing they said about it was that the cars were automatic.

Mazda Rev it up is nothing compared to Skip Barber's school. Mazda rev it up is very introductory while Skip's school is very advance. mazda cost $39 while skip's costs few hundred bucks for not even a day.

I think paying $150 to drive at a real race course while do a lot your your driving. Go to a loco race course if there is one in ur place. i live in LA, Cali so i plan to go to go to willow springs around June.

Once you have been at a race course, you'll see for yourself that money doesn't equal to speed. I seen guys with porsche's getting spanked by $20K cars like a miata. My friend spanked a
guy in a Integra GSR in the corners in his Camry Solara in the corners. On the way, he also spanked a couple of Eclipse GSR's.
