Soo Sooo Sweeet! I want one!

 

For $70k you can pick one up. It would be the perfect track car for Club Motorsports.

 

Sweeeeet! Guess I'd better start buying lottery tix.

 

Hey Eccles,

Think of it this way. It is just another rotary to add to your collection! Just make sure that you park it next to the 787B.

 

That is awesome! Great find speed.

 

quick someone give me a tissue box...

 

Thats 495 kg and 240bhp for $70k? Sounds ok.

Similar to the Caterham R500 monster(in stats), but thats Ł35k and road legal here...

 

Take a look around the site: http://www.starmazda.com/index.html

one thing that I note under draft rules is:

13. Weight and Dimensions

Minimum weight with driver – 1300 lbs.
or

HP/lb = ~5.41 :D vs. stock RX-8 = ~12.7

AND from the schedule - the 1st race is (drum roll pls):

March 19 Sebring IMSA Sebring, FL NEXT FRIDAY!

Anyone going / driving?

 

I wish I could attend... fortunately for those of us who can't travel to Sebring, SpeedTV will broadcast it Sunday April 4th at 12:00PM. It only has an hour long time-slot, so I doubt they'll cover the entire race.

Kind of off subject, but is anybody else sick of the commercials on that station (excluding mazda commercials of course)? They're just so ignorant (like that tuner transformation show....). I think I just need to get Tivo.
