Hey, this past weekend I got the opportunity to watch some gold old Grass-Roots Racing. It was a local series put on by BEMC and as with most budget racing series, very entertaining. I was invited there by the ABR Racing RX-7 Race Car. He won his class and the overall trophy!

The best part is, for a small charitable donation, I got to parade around the track a few times at lunch in the RX-8. I have attached the article I wrote on it for autotrader below, along with a few pictures of the event. The article has many more pictures.

That's the oddest group of race cars I've ever seen... NASCAR Craftsman truck, rotarys, 3rd gen f-bodies, Miatas and on and on. lol

That actually was the WRX's fault. they cut him off.
That is a roughly 500HP FWD Jetta. It races GT2. To get some perspective, my frined races GT4 in his 300HP 2nd gen RX-7....and gets smoked by the Jetta
