    Grand-Am Racing Series

    SpeedSource is now fielding three Mazda RX-8s in the ROLEX GT field so that brings the total of eight Mazda RX-8s in one race! Also, Long Road Racing/Freedom Autosport will feature two Mazda MX-5s and two Mazdaspeed 3s in the Continental Tire Challenge and will have tent setup in turn 5 for us to watch the race!

    Last October for the Grand-Am KONI race at VIR we had the largest turnout of any car club! We got to lead parade laps for all the clubs (and got recognition from both VIR and Grand-Am for doing it right on track, as in keeping up with the pace car which was running way faster than normal parade laps!), chosen to grid the KONI cars for the race, got to hang out and have a special photo session with the Playboy bunnies representing the Playboy MX-5 cup (one of which may be racing in the series at VIR) as well as the VIR girls and much much more.

    We hope you can make it out to this event!
