Racing Beat

It’s been through some different owners since it left us, but our original 1990 Racing Beat Miata recently returned for a visit. This vehicle was Jim Mederer’s test bed for dozens of suspension and exhaust performance parts, style bars, fiberglass body parts, and made appearances at countless events. It’s currently being reconditioned and updated, hopefully we’ll see more of it for years to come!

SevenStock 2024 - Fairwell to a friend as Irwindale Speedway hosts one of its last events. Great venue to showcase another awesome collection of rotary-powered cars!

Only 3 days until Sevenstock 27, will you be there? Here's some photos to enjoy from 2012 SS15 at Willow Springs Raceway.

Sevenstock 10 - Last time Sevenstock got wet was at Mazda's HQ back in 2007. It's been a soggy week in SoCal, let keep our fingers crossed for a dry and sunny day this coming Saturday!

Sevenstock 14 - The 4th different location for Sevenstock brought us to the unique setting of the LA County Fairgrounds. The feature car at the booth was the RB rotary-powered Austin Healey Sprite car raced by SCCA E Mod Autocross National Champion Jeff Kiesel. Jeff's family went on to win multiple autocross victories since then with Jeff taking his18th championship in 2024!

SevenStock 13 - 2010. This event closed out a 5-year run of hosting at Mazda's corporate HQ in Irvine. Lots of RX-8s catching some SoCal rays.

Always nice to stumble upon some pics of a beautiful NA Miata. Thanks to follower David at for the images!
