Hello 3 folks!!

[hendo]

Hey all in Mazdaforums land!! just wanted to say hey, as I am new to the forum, not new to Mazda, but have a newly built 3 that just rolled out last night. . .

I have a 2006 Mazda3 sedan that will be campaigning in the Group2 class at the Rally America NW Regional Rally Championships, starting next month at the Olympus Rally, Ocean Shores, Washington.

The car has been built by one of the finest rally car builders in the NW, Barrett Dash at allwheelsdriven (his other tag is twowheelsdriven), and we just got it out of the shop and did some gravel testing and shakedown, and man, the 3 is going to make for a VERY good Rally car. . .

Hope some of you in the NW can come out to see all the bug guns, Ken Block, Travis Pastrana, Dave Mirra, and maybe root for our fine #711 Mazda3! ! ! we are trying to work with a local dealer near Seattle to do a meet for all the local Mazda drivers to come out and get a close up of the car, so stay tuned. . .

Attached a couple pics of the build, this was pretty early on, now she is 90% done, with only lighting and skid plate build to complete.

Anyway, hello, and hopefully you appreciate the Rally3!!
