Ari was the originator. The rest have tried to imatate, but never duplicated, including myself, lol...You won't find anyone that bangs gears as good as he does, nor as consistant.

This is exactly what I wanted the reaction to be, as most know me and ari are really good friends and we became friends from racing. The main reason for spreading this rumor is to motivate him, Never did ari say he is gonna return.
this is all me, but i think after he sees how much WE all miss him. hopefully he will find some time to start the return of the "star" car

trust me he's not done............................

He has a huge following here in NY, we all loved his car when he would come up to Etown back in the days. He would race cars much faster but would always somehow confuse them at the tree and he would win.

Here's an old article where he raced at Englishtown.

I dont think he will bring the car out, Its been on the same lift resting for years now. I believe its going to take for someone breaks his "All Mazda" drivetrain record to get him motivated again.
