- - Mazda dominated IMSA taking the manufacturers championship 7 consecutive years (1980 - 1986)

This relic t-shirt was denigrated to the kids PJ drawer long ago but since I got the 8 it has become favorite sleepware.

I hope to see some of the historic GTUs at sevenstock. :) :)

I remember watching repeat footage of the wins but now when it actually happened. I was only 9 then. :D

BTW: Cute kid.

P.S. nice shirt!

How about the one that said "Team Mazda" on the front and "IMSA's Heavy Favorites" on the back? :D

I wish I was old enough (only 22 now), but I have to settle for reading about it and watching old highlights. Seeing the cars that made rotary history at Sevenstock will be pretty cool. I was born about ten years to late. That is unless Mazda makes a return to GT racing and/or prototypes.

My dad still has that shirt I think some place in his drawer ... he bought it when he bought his 1986 mazda rx-7 , of course ... that was the same year I was born .... I still remember the car tho ...

I was negative four to two-years-old. ;)

I was 6 years old, and I remember my uncle(hard core muscle car guy) test driving his then girlfriends new 86 RX7. It had some IMSA GTU decals......cool car way back then.

......cool car way back then.

Still is! :D :)

How about the one that said "Team Mazda (#)" on the front and "IMSA's Heavy Favorites" on the back? :D
That's funny.. you know the reason why they term "heavy" favorites was used right?

IMSA levied weight penalties on the RX-7s because they were so dominant in competition. Of course after years of success they eventually just outlawed them alltogether.

blah blah blah " i was born in 86" blah blah blah. damn kids - i graduated highschool in 86.;)

lol, u guys think I could find some of those shirts on ebay?

1986, hrmm lets see I was 2.5, oh well.

Sad to say, yes I was old enough. Bought my first RX-7 back in '82, I was in college at the time.

I was old enough 10, my brother had a firts gen, the most fun car ever, he run around the house shouting everytime and rx-7 won a race.

next year there's going to be some gt cars running in gran am let's hope they do good.

Sorry folks most of you missed the RX-3 thru the 3 gens of the 7, all of them great little cars, iam very fond of those memories.
