Will it ever end? The organizers added 75 pounds of useless ballast
to the RX8's for this race. Still qualified first and second.

P,

   Of course... it ends... when they've added enough ballast so
that the rotary is NOT at all competitive...!  I say, "run what ya brung...!"

Best...

If that were allowed the Mazda would win everything because
of the light weight of the engine relative to it's power.
A lighter car is easier on tires and corners and brakes
better with a given set of tires. It also burns less
fuel assuming thje BSFC is the same. The Mazda is at
a slight disadvantage there.

The Porsche went from 8th to first in the last pit stop.
The 30 Mazda and 70 Mazda appear to have lost first and second in the pits
and Jeff Segal in the 69 Mazda moved up to second from back in the pack
in that same pit stop.

John D, what happened in the pits?

If you complain long enough, sand bag and threaten to pull out your race
cars you can manipulate the organizers and win the race :)

That appears to be the story of this race.
