RX-8 wins Grand-Am 200

It says "The victory was the first North American professional race win for the Mazda RX-8 car."

Opps. I tried doing a search but I get tired of having to clear cache, cookies, etc to get the search to work. Otherwise I get the "you need to wait 20 seconds to search..." message.

I think it is quite an achievement because the RX-8 is a little under powered compared to some of the other cars in the series.

It just shows that an agile chassis, excellent drivers, and a creative pit strategy can make the RX-8 a competitive track car.

I can't believe that I missed that race. It was here in Phoenix, right in my own back yard. I guess I'll just have to catch the replay this weekend on the Speed Channel.
