Party Race 7/22

The photo isn't me but is another yellow from the Mazda Speed Cup Trial event earlier today Not sure who but check out the flames coming out the back!

What a great day. I knew so many people competing today that it would have been impossible not to have had a good time. Click on the photo to check out more photos from the day. I always get way to distracted by the action and forget to take more photos!

Highlights were Kato-san fighting his way up from 4th on the grid to finish in 1st place. Kanepee blazing the pack and finishing a very comfortable first. Watching Peter race for the first time and just losing his first place with about 3 laps to go to finish a very good second. Eightlien of course blazing to victory in the Mazda Speed trial.

It was also the first time Yoko went with me to the track. I think she enjoyed herself although it was a pretty tiring day.

John managed to drain his battery by leaving the light on for about 2 weeks but made it up after getting JAF to jumpstart the car! He should have been driving more often obviously! Driving to Tsukuba was a great way to charge the battery though.

Fantastic day. I definitely want to try going in the next circuit trial on 11/18!


Here's a short video showing the start of the RX-8 race.
