Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed them! Here's a link to everything I've uploaded, If you're not familiar with picasaweb you can enlarge the pics with the little magnifying glass next to what looks like a head to the right side of the back and forth arrows above the pics. You can then right click on them to view the image and get the BIG version.
I've been lucky to see the series twice now (which reminds me I should upload last years pics hah!) at VIR. Being able to just wander around the paddock area is way too much fun. Especially when they're warming up the cars, the sound is awesome. It's worth a road trip to do if you have a chance. Then the racing, what can I say. It was a 45 car field, lots of action. Can't wait to watch it on Speed this weekend.

I'm definately gonna check it out on Speed. I may have to kick my wife out of the living room while I watch, but I'm "there".

Who builds that engine? Is it a mazda built engine (mazda part number) or does speed source build them?

Speed Source builds them, but I believe with the help from some well know rotary engine builders, like CLR. Be interesting to see what modifications they did internally, cooling, porting, cermet coated housings, etc.

If anyone wants to meet the Racers Edge guys (red #30 in pics above), get a personal tour of the car and their new shop, and everything they do... then keep reading.
Rotary4Life is hosting an event December 6th at Racers Edge Motorsports in Deland, FL (just out side of Daytona). They are giving us a full tour of the shop, tech insight on suspension and performance settings. Demonstrations, diagnostic information and data logging... and Free FOOD. If you're interested.... post up on the thread below!! In the rotary events section: http://www.rotarycarclub.com/showthread.php?t=4934

next year will be very hard with the updated rules limiting rpms. wish only the best for the team but its very unfair to constantly see rotary cars being limited in every major racing series...maybe mazda will someday field more cars to hold their ground on the rule changes

I spent the day at Virginia International Raceway hanging out with SpeedSource in the paddock and pits during the ROLEX Bosch Engineering 250. Sylvain Tremblay decided I needed a new Mazda hat since mine is looking old. Then the guys at Dempsey/Hypersport Racing (#40) tried to give me another one! Also met the owner of Racers Edge #30 who came by to talk to us in the Mazda Corral. I have lots of pics I need to upload.
*edit* Day two consisted of hanging out in the Mazda hospitality tent, Mazda team Goshen's trailer, a few laps on the track, sitting in an SRT-8 Dodge Challenger and watching more races.

Funny the top picture you can see me in the reflection of the transporter. I was the one shooting the video for SpeedSource. Well some of the video is up online and I thought you guys might like to see it.
