GA 787b testing at Road Atlanta

As some of you may know, I work at Road Atlanta. The number 18 Mazda 787B spent the day testing at Road Atlanta last week. I MISSED IT!!! I got to see a pic and that was it!

My boss told me bout it today. He has no idea or appreciation for the piece of autoracing history that he witnessed.

If Jim is watching these posts, I am sorry I missed you.

BTW, technically it is a 787, not a 787B. Check it out here: http://www.mazda.com/mazdaspirit/rot...ndex05_18.html
I had the privilege of being at the track to witness it.

Well, I stand corrected. But it has the trick intake upgrade from the "B". Too bad the Ford guys lost all of the original documentation when they bought controlling interest in Mazda.

Where were you, Holly? Were you with Downing or Skippy?

Hey Machado, where is the video? Can you post a link?

I got to be right there with Mr. Downing and Mr. Engman. I took the morning off work and hung around, trying to be helpful, but staying out of the way. I have the video on my phone that Alex saw. Paul Thomas posted a video of it on FB after it was back at the shop, just before it went back to California.
