Today Prince Valiant (Chris), my brother Scott, Magz, and myself went down to Arlington for the Mazda Zoom Zoom Live! This was a free event that let you put the beat down on the MazdaSpeed MX-5 and the RX8 (and the Mazda 3, 5, and 6 but who gives a rats arse about those).
We started our day with all you can eat breakfast at the Iron Skillet off of I-94. Sorta of a tradtion we have doing these events.
They had 4 different events at the Zoom Zoom Live!
1.) Performance Challenge, an MX-5 autocross - objective to beat corse time of 37.5 secs.
2.) Matched Time Gymkhana, Mazda 3, 5, 6 autocross, objective to get 26.000 seconds exactly more points the closer you are to objective.
3.) Jinba Ittia Experience - Golf balls in a bowl of an MX-5 autocross. Objective - keep balls from falling out little bowl into big bowl that is mounted to the hood. Both Scott and Chris nailed the objective being several tenths under, scoring 50 pts each.

4.) Mazda School of Zoom - A quick 10 minute class on proper autocross technique (braking, accellerating, proper lines/turns) followed by a very spirited drive in the RX-8 with an instructor to help hone those mad driving skillz. We all got to do this twice (the line died down to nothing towards the end of show)
Magz having the time of her life LOL

Chris won a die cast MX5 (he was told the first of the day)
Scott won a nice Zoom Zoom ball cap
I took lots of pics and was 10 points short of the hat damn it... But still got a cool Mazda T-Shirt [Special Ed] YEAHHHH [/Special Ed]
We all would of loved to do the first event again but the wait was still 1hr+. So we took off for dinner at Bob Chinn's Crab House (http://www.bobchinns.com/) in Wheeling, IL. We all enjoyed the catch of the day, Charbroiled Hawaiian Ogana.
Had a great time, these events kick ass.
