Hi! I'm coming down from Queensland. Not part of a club though. Does this make me one of the 10 or were you only counting club related entries.

I'm hoping I can get both my track car and the supercharged NA there, and get the wife to bring her ND...... 3 MX-5's. I'm clearly and addict.

I was only counting club entries. Are you driving down? Myself, we are leaving on the Wednesday and heading down the Newell.

Have you registered and been confirmed by Mazda Aus? The correspondence I've seen suggests you can't just turn up on the day as they will be strictly checking names off at the gate.

I'm trailering down too. Hume Hwy in an MX-5 isnt the most pleasant adventure.
They have said we can't leave tow cars in the paddock after unloading. I've never been to Sandown before, I assume we can just park our tow cars in the massive car park further down.

As per my previous post, if you are not sure if your attendance has been accepted send an email to loyalty@mazda.com.au. I believe that State chapters of the MX5 clubs are also working on confirming attendees with Mazda Australia. Hopefully we will get all the info on this Saturday...

Yes I did register and am full aware that you can't just show up.

For those not attending, rumor is that Mazda Australia will be posting live from the event via social media.

I rang Mazda HQ and they advised me to send an email to loyalty addy.
I'm invited now. Yay!
Forum guys should all meet up. How shall we do it? I can volunteer to be the central contact number?
