Wink Are you old enough to remember when - - -

- - 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.

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.

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.

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