What happened to Burmeister's Mazda 3? I heard he blew his Cosworth at Pike's Peak and hasn't been around since. Any news?
 
Response to most questions

>nice pics. that aerial shot looks similiar to a rally focus. haha

Not an aerial shot. Photographer just at higher altitude as we climb Pike's Peak.

Yes, I codrove that yellow Proteg. Same driver as yellow Rx7.

>What happened to Burmeister's Mazda 3? I heard he blew his Cosworth at >Pike's Peak and hasn't been around since. Any news?

No, it was just an exhaust gasket so we had no turbo boost after about 3 miles into hillclimb. 2005 was a building year for the Mazda3. Will be back in 2006.

>Are you going to try out the AWD Mazdaspeed 6?

No. Mazda3 is what Mazda wanted to build. More of a tuner car. AWD would have put it into Open class.

>You guys still selling that rally light mount from the front of the Protege?

Doubt it. The Protege is only semi-retired now that the Mazda3 is done. But I'm sure copies can be made. You can also get prettu much generic light pods which just require some triming to fit to most hoods.

>Cool. Where's the pic of the GTX you rallied?

I had some. A way cool airborne shot. But the computer I had them saved on got fried.

D'oh!
Who did you co-drive for in the GTX?
I'll be crewing at Ramada. If you're there, I'll be the one with the white GTX (not racing, just working).

Any idea why he went to the expense of putting a cossie motor in there instead of just turboing the 2.3L Mazda engine?
 
It'll last way longer as a daily driver that way...................(poke)
 
Hey Dave,
Will you be at the Ramada Express Rally? I'll be there.

I'll buy you a coffee or a beer if you're there too. (cheers)
