I've been AX'ing my daily driver Mazda3 a lot lately this past season. It's a fun little car and I do pretty well with it. Mazda has an awesome racing support program for the little guy unlike Porsche. I'll be attending a few National tour events and the championship next year with the Mazda. Couple of pics
I should really just get some A6's - I won't be competitive but it would be way more fun.
Race tires are the main reason why I'm racing the Mazda and not the Porsche much anymore. I can just toss 4 A6's in the back seat of the Mazda and go racing. Porsche requires a trailer. One of these days I might throw a hitch on the back of the Boxster and get a tire trailer. Tires make such a difference and racing on street tires in stock class is like taking a knife to a gun fight really.
