One final note on sanctioning bodies…
Davis’s first choice would be to have the Champ Car World Series sanction it and run the races on Saturday afternoons in conjunction with Champ Car’s Sunday shows in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Looking at the 2007 Champ Car schedule, that would be 13 possible races.
Both Mazdas are part of the Star Seires 12 races. On top of that all three are national class SCCA cars.
Each year, approximately 65-70 Nationals are held, broken into the eight divisions, with each division running a minimum of six events.
