Dee is going to be on www.speedsceneracing.com tonight at 9pm, it's basically a live talk radio show but also has video. Dee will be covering the new car for next year and NHRA will be on there covering the new season as well.

LOL, you're funny

Now he can live through us

So, what's his new car ? I don't have time to listen to that right now.

 

Mazda 3 converted to RWD with a PISTON motor....OMG!! lol Bergenholtz will be building the motors for him. So was he just having too many failed motors to compete or what's the deal? Was it just money and resources?

 

yeah, he was just blowing too many motors.

 

I'll let Dee comment more on this one but it really has nothing to do with failed motors. It's more about Mazda and their marketing strategy. They are releasing the Mazdaspeed3 in 2007, what better way to promote the car than to have an all out racecar debuting the same year as well.

Mazda is really pushing this car, 2 months ago I think turbo magazine had the Mazda3 on the front cover and had a pretty nice article about the car. Here's a pic...

I sort of figure it was about sponsorship, I really doubt that "blowing too many engines" was the main cause for Dee switching to the dark side...

 

I hope that my original question wasn't taken the wrong way. I had no idea as to the cause of the switch.

 

Nah, you are OK; I also don't know why he switched.

 

I realize this decision maybe disapointing to some. I assure you I am not completely done with the rotary powerplant. We are going to continue to work with the 13b and 20b and will be involved with a couple of teams in both the modified and street classes.

Even though I was not able to drive the RX7 as our primary vehicle next year I am very pleased that I could stay true to the Mazda brand from begining to end. I hope everyone still continues to come out and support our team. And as I stated in the past my phone # is posted on my site and anyone that is seriously considering running a 13b powerplant for any class i would be willing to share all of our R&D we have collected over the years.

Dee, thank you for everything you have done for the Rotary community! I look forward to watching you with the Mazda 3!

 

You are truly a class act Dee!!!! That is an outstanding offer and is something you don't see everyday that's for sure.

I don't know if you remember me but this is Elliott from Vegas. I met you in Pamona and at Sema. Just wanted to chime in and say hi. I'll be giving you a call for sure cause i've got a few questions.

Thanks!

spoken like a champ man I say it over and over again man being a rotorhead or a wannabe rotohead like myself is like darn near having a family; man those that talk rotor live rotor. If one of anyone on this site is at rotorfest I can't wait, man everyone from dee to ari yallon answer your emails with the greatest respect and you know it wasn't a late night hurry up and email type thing; they put thought into it. man dee you could race a pink v12 powered rx8 you'd still get respect man from me.
Props and hats off.

 

Dee. I love you.

 

Thank you all for the kind words.

 

any time man plus you a East sider man Budds creek is a classic for imports.

 

I think you should make a street class car
Or better yet, put some drag radials on the 7 and bump it to the drag radial class with Chris Efontis and lemmie run it! ..........wishful thinking I suppose....

 

Right on ErnieT I'd go see it. I saw a vid of reactive running a 9.7. I saw on vosko.net a vid of a 7 at budds creek said ernieT smoking Jimmy. I'd like to know when your at the Creek dee I am on a mission to learn as much about 7's as possible I've been typing and searching for all rotary racers to learn about rotary's and to prove I am going to be a rotorhead.
You guys really help out thank you Dee hope you stick around the 7club site.

 

Good luck with the 3 this year Dee. And maybe you can help me out on my 7 that I am going to try and run this year. You should since I am the other "Dee".
