Throughout the 2010 Redline Time Attack season, spectators will be treated to the unique sound of Mazda rotary engines screaming at over 9000 rpm. Mazdatrix, one of the country’s leading retailers and service centers for Mazda rotary cars, announced that it will enter two cars in the Redline Time Attack West Coast events for the 2010 season.

Mazdatrix Racing will enter a Supercharged and Intercooled Mazda RX-8 in the Street Tire Class, which will be driven by Mazdatrix owner Dave Lemon. Dave will drive this car until the completion of a Turbocharged, 3-rotor, Mazda RX-8 that Mazdatrix is currently building for the Super Modified RWD class. The second car will be a Turbo Mazda RX-7 FC3S, which will be driven by Formula Drift driver Kyle Mohan in the Drift class.

In a driving career that began in 1971, Dave has competed in SCCA Club and Pro Racing, IMSA, Trans-Am, Grand-Am, NASA, NHRA Sport Compact, and endurance racing almost exclusively in Mazda rotary cars. He has amassed over 40 wins and holds track records at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, Willow Springs, and Auto Club Speedway. Dave drove his SCCA E Production Mazda RX-7 at last year’s Redline Time Attack finale at Auto Club Speedway.

Kyle also competed at that weekend, finishing second in the Drift class in his former Formula Drift Pro Championship RX-7. He is best-known for his exploits behind the wheel of Mazdas in Formula Drift, where he and his Mazda RX-8 are regular competitors in top-16 competition.

Both the Mazda RX-8 and RX-7 are built, maintained, and assembled with parts available from Mazdatrix. Mazdatrix engines power winning Mazdas in SCCA, NASA, Formula Drift, and in 2010, the Redline Time Attack as both the RX-8 and RX-7 have Mazdatrix-built engines under the hood.

“The entire Mazdatrix staff is very excited about our involvement in Redline Time Attack this season,” said Dave. “With all of the series improvements over the off-season, now is the right time for us to become a Redline Time Attack Franchise Team and we are really looking forward to demonstrating the potential of the RX-8 and RX-7 in Time Attack, as well as the potential of the parts and service available from Mazdatrix. We are also very excited to continue building our Super Modified RWD class RX-8 and unveiling it later in the season.”
