Mazda 2 Bspec racer heads to the track- on the dirt UPDATE- CRASH!!
This weekend at the US Rally Cross Championship at Irwindale in California
http://www.rally-america.com/rallycross/
Our very own Jeremy Barnes will be piloting the Bspec http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/24/m...racing-series/ Mazda 2 in the Limited 2wd class. The course is 50% Dirt and 50% pavement.
The Mazdaspeed Motorsports page reports they are raising ride height for more travel and they have no idea if it will work "but the Mazda spirit is to never quit!"
This should be fun

In Jeremy's own words
Ruh-roh... And this is the end of the weekend for the Mazda2. I was just behind the other car I was racing as we entered the last corner, and he missed the 1-2 shift and just flat stopped, as I arrived in full-commit mode. Had nowhere to go and hit squarely. Popped the hood up, pushed the radiator into the front of the motor. So ends the Mazda2's RallyCross debut...

Despite the crash he actually passed the other guy and beat him to the line to win the heat.
BUT THEY DIDNT HAVE THE parts on hand to fix the car.
Next up is a 3 hour enduro at Buttonwillow in a few weeks.
