Things that go bump in the night

Article Abstract:

The original hope was to race identically prepared RX-8s, but Mazda did not want to put its brand-new sports car through such a grueling 25-hour test so they put in two identically prepped Spec Miatas with the caveat that a driver from Mazda be on each team. The race had seventy-three cars attacking Thunderhill's 3-mile tract, a delectable mix of uphills, downhills, blind crests, hairy kinks, fast sweepers and long straights that made it a superb test of horsepower, handling and driver talent.
