Thank you Mazda Canada

Thought I'd share this with you guys. Mazda came through with their contingency program. This will definitely help me for next season. Thank you Mazda Canada for your support in grassroots racing.

Gratz! I'm glad they supported the Sigma Time Attack series last year as it brought out a ton of people not to mention that's a nice price!

It still pisses me off that the people at CASC didn't even return the calls from Mazda to set this up. They insulted them so badly that I don't think we will ever get contingency money for our events. It pays to race SRTA events.

Yeah, I spoke with John Doonan in person about this and learned all the details. It just sucks that we have a core group of racers in Ontario and (no disrespect intended) lower levels of Time Attack can get Mazda money and the guys spending way more coin and at higher levels of competition can't get a penny until you race in the CTCC.

It just sucks and has really coloured my opinions of the people running motorsports in Ontario. So enjoy your money now as you won't get any as you move up.

Its the Canadian Touring Car Championship. Runs in Ontario and Quebec and there is tons of coverage in magazines, internet and even tv broadcasts some years.

CTCC you need like 50-60k to run a season.
5-7k a weekend... in entry fee different for some events, tires,fuel (Spec fuel $4.39 a liter)
thats if your cars ready to go.
Damage cost is not included in that.

The support is a joke if you plan on running CTCC

Makes more sense to run a World challenge event with the pay back from mazda..

Looks like Sigma Time Attack series is the best bang for you buck.
