Our new
location in West Palm Beach Florida places us midway between three
major race tracks Daytona, Sebring, and Homestead, also only a few
miles from Moroso Motorsports Park, where we do all our track testing.
Our state of the art facility houses a complete race car fab shop,
machine shop, engine shop, service center, and Dynojet tuning
laboratory.
With over twenty-five
years experience racing Mazda rotary powered cars
Pettit Racing is
highly regarded by industry and enthusiasts world wide as the source
for technical information and advise. For past 10 years our focus on
turbo rotary engines and FD series RX-7's has gained us much knowledge
and enabled us to be the only race team to have consecutive top
finishes with turbo charged rotary engines at venues like the Rolex 24
and the American Le Mans Series races.
Championship don’t
come easy, in 1998, Pettit Racing won the GT2 Road Racing
Championship. This accomplishment is even more notable considering
that the car was a 93 Mazda RX7 street car with only bolt-on
accessories. At season end when the final points were tallied,
Pettit
had 140 points, which was 63 points more than the second place team.
This same car finished the Daytona Rolex 24-hour race 4 times,
successfully outlasting many factory prepared cars.
In past seasons, with
Mazda Cars
Pettit Racing has won five SCCA road racing championships,
over fifty national races, and numerous top ten finishes in IMSA
Supercar and SCCA World Challenge races. We campaigned a 1988 SCCA IT
class RX7 from 1991 to 1993, set numerous track records and won
twenty-one races including the SCCA twelve hour endurance race at
Sebring. In 1993, our 1984 GT3 class RX7 won nine SCCA National Races
in a row. In 1997
Pettit’s SCCA World Challenge RX-7 finished in the
top ten at seven of the nine events.
In addition to
Pettit’s road racing vehicles, we are also active in
drag racing. In 1999 our street legal 3rd generation RX7 won 7
national events and ran quarter mile times under 9 seconds.
