I got to most of the MazdaDrivers events. They are open to all cars. I would say about 50% of the cars are Mazdas and 50% are other cars. Some of the 3rd gen RX7's are awesomely fast. I run a slow old first gen, but I have a great time. I probably spend less than anyone else and have as much fun. I love the nimble lightweight first gen RX7, and just don't have that much desire for excessive straight speeds. Not that I haven't done it, as I used to SCCA race some very fast cars, but straightaway speed is just not where I get my thrills.

More power to the first gens. Ive done mostly autoX and a open day at summit point.

roadRacer - I have an 84 GSL-SE and am wondering how hard is it to pass tech. I believe my car should pass but I dont want to get down there only to fail for something I didnt ever think of.

Tech exists to verify that your car is safe, but the responsibility is ultimately yours, and must ultimately take place in advance.

So if you're not sure about something on your car passing tech... replace it beforehand just to be safe

I'm going. There are about 4 or 5 Evo's coming down from the DCEvo club. Looks like 2 VIII's, a VI TME, and 1 or 2 MR's. I will be in the novice category as this is my first event. The pre-inspections are at the MDA HQ at the Comfort Inn on Fri night.

Don't take my parking spot at the hotel. I am getting new brakes sometime this month. I am keeping the Brembo calipers, but everything else is getting upgraded.
