Mazda three rotor RX8's finish 1,2,3 and 4.
 Mazda is getting smart. They are not qualifying on
 the pole any longer. You qualify well and the
 organizers penalize you by making your car slower :)
 They do this by adding ballast or further limiting
 the RPM already 500 RPM below the street RX8
 red line race to race. About half the cars in
 the GT field are RX8's. They are cheap to race
 as the engine is basically a stock $8,000 Mazda
 Cosmo rotary engine except for the P-ports.

Yeah . . .  The winning #70 was also smart enough to knock my friend
Robin Liddell's #57 Camaro into the weeds while he was leading.  And
he never recovered from that.  The GM sleds have also had their share
of ballast added this year.  They are still trying to get the lead
out.  Meanwhile, the
RX-8 stole the lead (pronounced "leed" in this instance).  lol

Government Motor sleds? Your tax dollars at work! Is racing
the new BO stimulus package? :)

P,

"The winning #70 was also smart enough to knock my friend,
 Robin Liddell's, #57 Camaro into the weeds while he was leading. "

The obvious question is: "How does the #70 car knock the
car "ahead of him" into the weeds...?"

The only way that could happen is IF they both are vying
for the lead...  That, in my mind, is called "racing".

By delaying one's braking going into the corner:) Ops my foot
slipped off the the brake pedal. Sorry :)

The 70 car was being driven by a Brit.
