Thats sweet that Mazda is bringing it back. I'm interested to see what the new 3 is like seeing I have a '93 mazda 323 and the 3 is the next logical step. As was the 6 replacing the 626.
And how was it not an auto-x? There were cones, it was a timed lap around a smaller track in an empty parking lot. Sure it was fun and you got to really hand it to the cars as much as you'd like without worry of breaking your own car, but it sure looked like an auto-x to me///
Anyway....CvicSiRacer, PM me when you know which Mazda event you're going to. I would love to meet you finally and witness your driving abilities first hand...

maybe I could learn something...
