The next race at Leguna Seca is November 3rd and 4th. This is a local

race as the National racing season is over for the year. The regional race
will include "IT" Improved Touring cars, and that will have the two early
models. There will be GT 1,2,3,4,and 5. These can be tube frame cars with
glass bodies. Mazdas run in GT-2 and GT-3 with periphery port 12As and side
port 13Bs in GT-2 and side port 12As in GT-3.

Bring up this web site, "www.sfrscca.org/index.phtml" and/or call The

Sanfransisco Region office at 530-934-4455, and tell them what you want to
do. Then contact the track or a race official to see if this is a spectator
race. If not you will have to be signed in as a crew member or official.(not
as hard as it sounds). They may put you in touch with (can we hope) a Mazda
racer who will be at that race, and he/she can put you on their crew list.
There are races on parking lots all over California every weekend. Look for
those dates in the sports section of the paper. Also the university car
clubs have similar events. Check with them. Join the SCCA. You can be up to
your eyes in Mazdas by this weekend. Lynn E. Hanover

I had the opportunity to drive an IT RX7 at Topeka raceway several times in
their
"drivers school" and it was a blast.  What  neutral chassis with a really
willing
motor!   We eventually fried the brakes, but had a real blast.  Caught and
passed
a 944 Turbo with an early model (chisel nosed) stock motor Rx7.   Great fun.

This was another bump in my interest in the wankel.
