We caught it, didn't record it though. When the marathon plays, we'll record it. Nice to see so many FB's racing!!

Highest finishing rotary car was an RX-3. He finished 5th. Its all day Dec 25th. Check their website. I said look for 1st gems in EP, GT3, and GT2. And all rotary power in FM (Formula Mazda).

e-production was the best. i havent got to watch it on tv, but i was at the runoffs this year i got pics of quite a few of the cars. i think they have a pic of a lot of the cars at the mid ohio website. there are lots of 1st gens and rx-3's. i think there were 2 or 3 2nd gens.

too bad SRX7 isnt a national class. You guys would would go crazy watching that. ALL fbs. In the words of the announcer at MARRS 1 last year before the race... "55 strong and not a piston among them"

Yeah, those damn Miata guys might get a National class and us RX7 guys (who have been at it way longer, I might add) don't get crap.

Miata's are for gay men anyway. :p

nah SM's arent girly cars. My dad raced one in last years 12 Hours at the Point (the one that was on TV last week), and he and everyone else say they are great race cars. Light on its feet, durable, and great handling.

I still like FB's better... a little more badass

haha down at summit, bret depedro (rp performance) gets hell all the time from this one guy Bert. Bert is this like... crude biker guy tattoo artist. He just happens to drive a POS dodge neon as his street car. So bret said "nice car you pansy!" and bert said "hey, bret... what do you drive? huh?" haha so to avoid it bret said " a MAZDA". haha it was pretty funny.
