I think someone was selling a FRP(fibre reinforced plastic) replica that is of very high quality. It comes unpainted around $700 for the whole kit. Yes Whole kit.

Sunday... Oh my god.. more Nascar... then FIM World Superbike...

And inbetween those events.. more nascar shows I bet
I understand they get ratings but c'mon.. I'm watching Speed Channel not Nascar Channel. Watch the Rx-8's get pole and win the race and we miss it on national tv coverage.

I know that both Rotary Extreme and Extreme Dimensions make both FRP/Fiberglass and Urethane MS replicas. For the front I'd want the more pliable Urethane, and I'd settle for FRP side skirts and wing. (Give a rip on the rear bumper.) I've heard rumors that fitment can be an issue. If anyone has actual experience with these products/companies, I'd be curious to hear about their experiences. Looking at something that's 1/3 the cost of the "genuine" MazdaSpeed stuff, I can deal with a little imperfection, as long as painting and install doesn't end up costing more than the originals.

Great!! Thanks for the update.

I'm having trouble accessing Timing and Scoring at the Grandam Site. Is it just me or are they have problems with their site?

Thanks for the link.

But WTF when I go to the "Events" page I get this link below and can't access the results etc. But your 158 link works for me.

How many DNF's did we have?? I count at least 3 so far.

The # 95 just passed the # 68 for second place. Four minutes to go.

To bad #70 (pole sitter) went out at the start, but we did manage to take 4 of the top ten spots.

#68 took 3rd
#65 took 6th
#69 took 9th
#66 took 10th
