Just processed a stack of Mazdaspeed Motorsports contingency forms from Dave Henderson.
Olympus:
Day one Hendo and Terrence McDowell brought the Mazda3 in first in Group2, but since we count all the 2WD cars together, we counted it as second behind Tom and Don Burress in their G5 GTI (wait a minute, Group5 GTI? What does that thing have in it?). That's $200. He was also the first Mazda to finish, which is another $200.
Day two, similar story. A few positions farther up the overall leaerboard, a few seconds closer to Burress, and another $400.
Oregon Trail:
Day one, Hendo and McDowell parked the Mazda3 in 4th overall, 30 seconds ahead of Dave and Richard Hintz in their M3. That was good enough for first 2WD ($400) and first Mazda ($200) for a $600 day.
Day two, the Hintz boys squeeked past, leaving Hendo again in 4th overall, but 2nd in 2wd ($200) and again 1st Mazda ($200)
$1800 check is in the mail (or credit is going on the card, or whatever it is we do).
Unless he's made some changes I'm not aware of, Hendo is taking all the money with a junkyard engine, a header, a reflashed ECU, stock Mazda5 springs, and off-the-shelf Bilstein HD shocks.
Way to go, Hendo! Making the most from the least is the Mazda way!
That money is up for grabs to anyone in any Mazda, by the way, you guys don't have to let him take all of it...
