Best kept Secret in Racing/Auto X: Mazda Motorsports

I know many of you are members of Mazda Motorsports, but I also know that a large majority have never even heard of it or know what it has to offer you... so here is how to become a member and what all they offer you!!

What's in it for you?
A: Mazda has a great program to support local racers. It offers stock parts at damn near cost(even cheaper than Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda who offers a great service to our community). It also offers the ability to purchase Mazda Motorsports Competition parts such as radiators, various bushings, suspension, GTC body accessories, as well as the 99spec aero parts(to include the coveted 99spec front bumper). They also have a contingency program that if you do well at certain races, Mazda will pay you!! Finally, you can get a S-Plan(I think that is the name) PIN and purchase new Mazda's at a predetermined dirt cheap price!!!

How do I join?
A: The first step is to buy a Mazda, hopefully a rotary.

Once you have the car, you need to either join the SCCA(http://www.scca.com/home.aspx) or NASA(http://www.nasaproracing.com/). It can be a bit pricey, but is worth it in the long run.
The next step can go one of two ways. If it is the off season, you can email or fax pictures of your car you plan to race and your car club membership(SCCA or NASA) with you application found at www.mazdamotorsports.com to Mazda Motorsports and they will give you up to one year as a member to complete 2 races and send in the results before your account will go inactive. If you have already raced twice in the last year, all you have to do is fax or email in your official results with your application.
Once you submit all of your paperwork, Mazda should approve your membership within the next day or two and send you an email letting you know you are approved and have access to the website.
After that, start buying your parts and racing your car!!! I spend a absolutely ridiculous amount of money between my 2 FD's.

Does auto-x count for 'competitive' racing?

Clearly HPDEs can't count right, because they aren't timed or anything...

yes, just send them the event results, that's what I use.

mdude · 03-26-2008, 11:46 PM

Yes, autocross counts.

Great post, thanks for the contribution... If only I could afford to build my track fd...

Just wanted to update on this. I signed up and sent in my first autocross results and I'm in! The discounts are very, very good and the instant S-plan eligibility is great. This is all with my 25-year old FB!

Browsing through the competition catalog I see that they have complete Mark I and Mark II IMSA GTU/ SCCA GT3 body pieces/kits still for sale for the SA/FB...

+1, I received a bad part, actually it wasn't the correct part in the box, right number on the box etc. I called them this morning to see about returning it and he said I should receive the new part in the next 2 days and all I needed to do was take the information he emailed me and send the bad/wrong part back, with the shipping cost on them.

This was the only problem(mess up) I've had with them over the past 3+years of being a member. I was truely amazed how easy it was to return the part and get a replacement, I figured I was going to have to complain and throw a fit like you do with most other companies but I didn't. A+

Hmm wonder if they do that here in New Zealand.
