Victorian MX5 Team Wins!!!
Three teams from the Mazda MX5 Club (Vic./Tas.) competed in the Winton 6 Hour relay last weekend with a 1st for 'Team Fly'in Miatas' and 5th for 'City Mazda Motorsport', the two 'A' teams, and a 15th for the event 'Rookies' ' my team 'Team MX5 Motorsport'.

BIG CONGRATS GUYS.

I was meaning to show my face in the MX5 area, but didn't get a chance. Our team ("Escorts by the hour") finished 28th. This was my first 6 hour event, and I have to say I enjoyed it heaps, and it was good to get back out on the Winton track for the first time is 6+years.

Cheers
Woz

These results reflect a great team effort as there is as much going on behind the scenes as out in front.

Well done to all involved 8)
