drive your FD to Road America this weekend ... it's all mazda and there's NEWS

o k maybe you know that this weekend at Elkhart Lake Wisconsin’s Road America is totally insane as far as Mazda Racing along w the Mazda Corral Midwest Rotary Rally....

but did you know that

Mazda's LMP2 American Lemans entry, currently running second in class just received an increase in the restrictor for the 3 rotor motor?

probably another 70 hp.. there are other rumors about a new engine this weekend but i would prefer to defer until i know for sure. Road America is Jamie Bach’s home track so if you want to see Mazda on top of the Podium at the end of a Major Race ‘best gas up the car and head to Wisconsin.

125 laps, 500 miles at Road America sunday.

of course there's also...

Star Mazda and extremely competitive series w Bobby Rahal's son kicking major ... Marco Andretti too but you can throw a blanket over the entire field.

along w the Le Mans cars the Speedworld GT cars do the same 500 miles. ferraris, maseratis, corvettes, vipers, BMWs.

the Speedworld Touring cars... Mazda 6 is near the front of this race

the Trans Am

and there's 2 days where you can put your FD on the track for some touring and anything else you can get away with. last year i passed a 427 cobra in the carousel w my FD. o k it was Frank Bennett's but i was driving. a mere $50 gets you on the track.

you might want to trade corners w Cam (Pettit) Worth's supercharged 6 piston braked RX8. Cam and Candy will be our guests all weekend and he is really looking forward to getting out on the track w his black and bad to the bone RX8.

and the mazda corral. and the mazda Party... ////MRR

Ooohhh, that's good news! Hopefully this will help them stay competitive when the porsche/penske LMP2 car starts racing. God I love ALMS.
