This is the #60 ROAR Racing Mazda RX-8 they let us use for the Mazda Days show pulling into the Gallery Friday afternoon.

I spent Friday afternoon cleaning it up for the event.

This is what happens when one of the drivers says #61 has a misfire during practice Saturday morning. You spend lunch pulling the engine from the #60...

and putting in in the #61. Took a little over an hour to completely swap engines.

This is what happens to #61 when a deer runs out on the track at night in the middle of the race...

you spin out and then chase the deer down the tire wall before coming to the pits where you just rip the nose off and continue the race.

#63 had it's own problems starting with when a car in front of it blew it's oil cooler causing it to spin out and then the lights decided to stop working.

Straight wired them to finish the race... except for the last couple of laps which he drove in the dark when the fuse finally blew.

Meanwhile, poor old #60...

spent the afternoon and evening sitting here instead of The Gallery.
