Should have used the Furai. Or at least the 2011/12/13 RX-7/8/9 with the 16x.

As for watching the event this is all I've seen.

I hope the pace 8s don't have stock tires on.... that would be bad having them crash in the rain.

so far the Mazdas are kind of slow except for Leh Keen, maybe they have a dry setup on their cars.

Ha! The car giveaway this year isn't some lame SUV truck thing.


It's a "Dempsey Edition" RX-8 R3!

I guess it's just got the color design of his 8, and other cosmetic stuff, but still, would be awesome to win.

Gonna stay on top of this

We should send a petition for them to remove the neon underglo kit.







Not sure. Wrong place for header glow.
