A musty/mildew type odor may come from the vents when the air conditioning (A/C) system is operating. It is most noticeable when the A/C is first turned ON. This odor is the result of mold growth in the A/C evaporator/ cooling unit which is caused by condensation, dust, and pollen within the cooling unit. This condition is usually worse during high humidity conditions. “Mazda Air Cooling Coil Coating” is available to encapsulate the mold to reduce odors. If the product is properly applied, it can effectively reduce the musty/mildew odor for up to three years. NOTE: See parts information for Mazda Air Cooling Coil Coating and Kit part numbers.

Welcome to the 2007 season of the MX-5 Cup. We are looking forward to an even better season than we had in 2006. We are aware of the perceived, and real, problems that occurred during the 2006 season. The majority of the problems revolved around mechanical issues. Some of the problems were due to the late date at which the series came together. Some of the issues were due to the staff having to learn what the particular issues of this new series were. There are several things that we are doing to improve the series for the 2007 season.
Chief Steward – Jim Rogaski, from the San Francisco Region, will be the new series chief steward. Pat diNatale will be helping Jim at the first race to help him transition into the particular issues that come with operating a professional series, particularly on a street course. Morris Hamm will be moving over to World Challenge to work with Pat diNatale as the Assistant Chief Steward. We will send out Jim’s contact information in the near future.
