for people who like to drive fast.

has anyone here participated in the mazda rev it up competition. i know we are all die hard toyota people but if you win you can take home a new mazda rx-8. the have different classes and you are given a branda new stock rx-8 to compete in. all for only $39 us. the website is www.mazdarevitup.com i would like to compete myself but i am driving on a speeding ticket and the rules say you have to have a valid license to compete.

Nice, Boston here I come!!! Now all I gotta do is learn stick, then I'll tear up the road. Good thing there's nothing to crash into though!

A speeding ticket invalidates your license?

Thumbs down no stick

all the cars have automatic transmissions they say it cuts down on the distractions.

also, a speeding ticket doesn't invalidate your license, they take it and don't send it back to you until you pay the fine, show up in court, or complete traffic school. or you can give them a bond card but you have to buy those ahead of time.

OMG some of the state laws suck real bad. At least we get a demerit point system, you dont loose your licence till you get 9 pnts in a 12 month period... then they take it for 30 days.

Well... I guess that's good for me. But I don't think it's a distraction for people who have always drived stick cars...

Ahh well it should still be fun.

Since I likely have no real chance at winning, I'll just do a 180 somewhere near the begining and take the track in reverse for the comical value.
