7's Only Mazda GT Cars Approved for PTA
By Greg G.
Published: June 2, 2006
The Mazda GT spec racecars prepped by 7's Only Racing, LLC. (Buttonwillow, CA) have been approved and given a waiver to run in PTA in both Regional and National competition. We expect to have a number of these cars competing at the NASA Championships in September at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Because they are tube-frame racecars, they required a special evaluation and waiver to become eligible for competition in NASA Performance Touring. After careful consideration, and a half season of on-track performance evaluation, these cars have been granted a waiver to run in the PTA class. The following requirements must be met:

Vehicle: Mazda RX-7--7's Only Racing (LLC) Mazda GT tube frame conversion racecar
Maximum rwhp: 215
