As I said in the other post, a bargain at that price, the same as an SCCA divisional solo, without the required annual club membership.
Function before fashion.

For just $39, each Saturday or Sunday event gives you two sessions to compete on track and four separate opportunities for instruction (three hands-on car control clinics and a driver's Chalk Talk). There’s also a whole host of entertainment and auto expo activities included for competitive drivers and their guests.
Add to that the fun of test driving your choice of several new Mazda models – for free! -- and we think you'll agree, Mazda Rev It Up™ is an unbelievable deal.
Performance driving tips, timed competition, entertainment options galore -- how can you resist?

SCCA Autocross costs $25 plus using your own vehicle. This is worth the cost, to me. PS Todras, you can afford it with all those $8 Ford CDS you burn.

Yea right. I make squat on those. I have to buy the envelopes, casing for CD, blank CD's and shipping. I make about $3-5 on each. That goes into fixing my Contour.

I read on another forum that all the 6s were automatics.. Is that the case? If so, that really sucks!

No, but only 5% of them are scheduled to be built with a manual trans so they might as well all be automatics. Mazda makes great handling cars (a Protege I rented a while back was the best-handling, best-braking 4-door I've ever driven) but they lack power and saddling them with automatics while trying to be a sportscar guy's sedan is stupid.

Will everyone be driving the same kind of car? Quote:
Everyone gets to compete in an all-new MAZDA6 sports sedan. All cars will be equipped with automatic transmissions, by the way, so you can concentrate on what you learned in the Skill Clinics and not worry about pesky distractions like gear changes.
Unfortunately, I think what you read on the other forum was correct.
