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. :) :)

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

BTW: Cute kid.

Yup... I am.... I actually attended a few IMSA races back in the day!

See here for a SevenStock preview:

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.

Still is! :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.;)

I was 22 in 1980 and a beer in one hand and, well we won't go there :)

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

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

4 yrs old here

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.

Class of '77 I remember those days quite well. I owned 3 RX-4's a REPU and a Cosmo.
