I wanted to congratulate all of those that competed and completed the NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill over this past weekend.  I know from previous experience what a challenging event it is and it just gets more competitive every year. 

Here are a few interesting facts about this years running:

  • Record sized field for a 24 or 25 hours race in North America with 83 cars taking the Green Flag.
  • The USAF NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill is the longest race at 25 hours (N. America).
  • The #75 race winning Mercer Porsche completed the most green flag laps in a 25 hour race. (N. America)

Also a few interesting tidbits for us Mazda Miata fans:

  • The #100 Mazda MX-5 Cup run by Team Atlanta Motorsports took the win in E0.
  • The #38 CJ Wilsom Mazda MX-5 won the E1 class for the second year in a row.
  • The #99 949 Racing Mazda Miata took the E2 class win.  (Congrats Dean Thomas!)
  • The #23 Mazda Miata of RJ Racing took victory in the largest class, E3 with 22 team.
  • In addition to Miatas/MX-5's taking the wins in the E0-E3 classes they also filled out 10 of the 18 podium positions.

All in a weekend's work for a Mazda.
