    Default "Formula Mazda isn't sexy" they said...

    Well, we've found a way to make the cars even more sexy....

    This is our newly-rebuilt rental car-- we are very happy with how it turned out and how quick it is...

    Pictures are from the Watkins Glen double major. Great track and great weather in July.

    Default Yes

    Yes- it is Treys car- with a lot of changes and updates.... we started with a good base and improved it-

    -Fresh FM spec engine
    -Frame-up rebuild
    -Rebuilt transmission
    -Rebuilt shocks
    -Similar (but tailored to driver preferences) setup to Robert Noell's undefeated in 2014 Formula Mazda
    -AIM MXL-Pro data system
    -AIM Smarty HD camera system with HD data on video overlay
    -Complete re-wire
    -Upgraded starter/main wiring
    -Blueprinted uprights
    -WAY too much time spent on an already good car!

    This car was built to be able to win the runoffs- and no, it's not for sale-

    It's a great car... but honestly I'm surprised anyone noticed it!

    And yes, the lady is a model-

    for an extremely large finder's fee i can put you in touch with my daughter. she's done some car show modeling, has lots of experience around race cars and has LOTS more ink than the model above.

    here are some pics of her at the track...

    ps

    i probably should tell you she is a cop and carries a glock. so you won't need to hire security for her.

    Isn't that called "false advertising"? Entice them in with the look and smell of rib eye steak, but once they get there, they find that only SPAM is available?

    Richard,
    in some areas SPAM is considered a delectable dish. When prepared properly, it tastes like....(wait for it)....chicken. who am I trying to kid, does not taste anything like chicken. when you make something with the parts left over from hot do, well there isn't much to chose from. just sayin....

    I thought this thread was getting really weird (especially with the vintage photos) until Nigel stepped in and gave us his marketing campaign. BTW, the tongue thing in the very first photo of the orange Mazda is far from sexy, looks like see has a sausage in her mouth.

    Not trying to be funny, but believe it or not, Spam is a hot luxury & status item in Korea!

    I had to eat it as kid.... As I recall, some kind of dog food surrounded by some kind of jello-like substance. Severely fried with ketchup combined with very hungry after baling hay.... still not good I still can't see any cars in those photos. ..

    Excellent, see the fun we are having here. Imagine what a stir it caused at the track. A lot of people want to work on our team now and the ladies said it was the best photo shoot they ever did. Here is another we did for a local radio station.

    lots of new images up and lots more to come...

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/46681980@N03/sets

    most of the new stuff is in the testing set but there are additions to other sets too,,,imsa, can am and champ car

    as i've said many times before, i was very fortunate to have been where i was when i was.

    thanks again.
