Thanks to everyone and all that voted! Kinda funny that I was up against Patrick who's running my old Microtech ECU! Just another example of the tight knit Mazda Community that we are! I'm looking forward to bringing my car out of winter hibernation very soon! I've got a brand new set of Hoosiers that I'm just itching to "scuff in!" :D
 
Just a follow-up...
Due to logistics I was unable to take advantage of the fantastic prize package available to me. However, IMSA's Steve Focazio was gracious enough to allow my brother and a guest to take my place and they attended the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship event at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly known as Mosport) this past July 12. They both received the true VIP treatment and it also served as an awesome birthday present for my brother Dave. He took plenty of pictures of the day. There are only a few of the actual race as he figured it would best be viewed later on YouTube but the rest really give an up close view of the days behind the wall activities!

Here is the link to the album on GOOGLE Drive.

Of special note... look closely at the pic of the HOT pass. Apparently it will be good again in 100 years or so! :D
