Wow, that's a close battle - congrats Jake!


It looks like it was a quick course, geared well for your single turbo


On a similar note, I'm really looking forward to seeing more on the TT3 RX-7 - looks awesome

 

Cool to see three RX-7s and five Mazdas in the top ten.

 

that's awesome

 

Very cool, congratulations.

 

Congrats!
Jake's videos always look sped up in post-processing lol

 

Great job and nice to see the FD again on top

 

Big Congrats Jake

Homeboy can DRIVE, that's for sure

and 22+ years on, the FD3s with 13B rotary is going STRONGGGGGGGGG

 

Congrats, Jake! It isn't just the driving, but also the dedication it takes to compete!

 

So true

If ever the saying "90% of success it is just showing up" proves true it's racing

 

congratulations

 

What kind of set up is he running.

 

Bravo! Well done. Always great to see the FD in her prime.

 

Awesome.

 

nicely done

Pic 2 the 2015 SSM drivers, 41 strong

The RX7 has now won 10 of 13 SSM National Championships

 

Nice to see a rx7 win

 

And thanks to Jake the RX7 continues to dominate the win column in SSM (Super Street Modified):

2003 Vette
2004 RX7
2005 Vette
2006 RX7
2007 RX7
2008 RX7
2009 RX7
2010 RX7
2011 RX7
2012 RX7
2013 RX7

Obviously everyone here knows the FD's capabilities, but it takes a driver to put it around the course. As a hacker ASP driver I to Jake.

 

Yes, winning is usually 90% driver
Here's the driver names in case you know some of these "fast" dudes:

2003 Vette Scotty B White
