About the Formula Mazda
The series originally grew out of a group of chassis built by Hayashi in Japan for the Jim Russell Racing Drivers School in California, USA. These cars were completed by Russell mechanics in the paddock of the 1984 Long Beach Grand Prix, where the cars made their US debut. The cars have a basic welded steel tube frame chassis, with inboard front shocks operated by upper rocker arms. An 180hp
carbureted
Mazda
rotary engine
drives through a 5 speed H-pattern (H-gate)
Hewland
Mk 9 transaxle. Rear suspension is by two trailing links, an upper link and a lower a-arm. In the interest of creating close racing and limiting cost, the rules state that no modification is
allowed until the rules expressly permit it -- at one time even replacing the mirrors on the car was prohibited. The engines cannot be modified, and they are sealed to make it easy to detect cheating. The cars all use the same tires,springs,
dampers
, and adjustable
anti-roll bars

Havoc Motorsport’s driver, Tom Bootz of Evansville, Indiana sped away from the field to take home his first national title on Saturday, September 24, 2011 during the SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The best drivers from across North America convene on Road America’s historic four-mile road course in what is considered the "Olympics" of motorsports during the SCCA National Runoffs.
Bootz qualified third in his Havoc Motorsport prepped, No. 36 Bootz Industries Stohr WF1 Suzuki and moved to the front at the green flag, leading the field into the first corner and growing the gap throughout the 13-lap, 52-mile race. As cars battled for position and fell out of the race because of mechanical difficulties, Bootz ticked off lap after lap toward the checkered flag, including a Hawk Fast Lap of the race at 2:02.656 (117.402 mph), a new Runoffs record for the class.
