anyway, here i am, 1:47am, bored, i was reading the december SCC magazine, and for the first time i noticed this article... mazda protege 5 the official car for the next World Import Challenge to be done in Houston, TX, march 2002 blah blah blah
website: http://www.worldimportchallenge.com/

anyway, for me it seems like awesome news, could it be that finally mazda its going to have aftermarket for other than the rx7 or the miata????

i wonder what linuxninja, jag, leonardo and any other in peep in TX thinks about it, with the protege 5 being the official car im sure somebody is working their ass right now in some aftermarket for the event! i really want to go if tickets are not expensive as hell. Actually i believe jag has been to some of this shows he may know about pricing

If its a Protege 5 I would think it would use parts that AWR has already made. After all, AWR did the Laguna Seca Protege 5 pace car...Just a thought though.

i would like to go to this. Maybe we can meet up Raz or anyone else interested. I have no idea how much it would cost but I'm sure it cant be that much. Houston is not that long a drive from here so count me in. Just keep us posted on date and time.

Yeah houston has a drag strip, it's supposed to be one of the fastest tracks in the world. The track is in Baytown. If you want the site, it is www.houstonraceway.com
That would be a cool event to go to.

I'm gonna go. I'm thinking about entering the stock show competition. It only allows 4 mods. It says if you have aftermarket plug wires, that is one of your mods. So things that are stock on the MP3 such as rims, ground effects, spoiler, Nardi steering wheel,.... I could go on,...is OEM and we could possibly wipe up the competition. It is $40 for the weekend pass and they say $15 to $20 to enter. I'll definately be there.
