As some of you remember, I was building/testing a Mazdaspeed3 earlier this year for Nasa TTD competition. Well my season started and ended on the 1st race weekend at Willow Springs. Here's what happened complete with video...

Kudos to the OP for driving the car at a proper race track.

For those who haven't been to Willow Springs, turn 8 is a high speed right hand turn that separates the men from the boys.

Indeed, kudos for the courage, skill and the hard work in getting that car to perform at that level. The MS3 was not only performing way above its class, but was, at times, pulling on the cars above it in class.

I call that, pun intended, A CLASS ACT.

Wow, what a horrible way to end such a promising season. Glad you walked away from it, man. Very sorry that it's the MS3's curtain call for racing season.
