2016 MX-5s Take First Victories

History was made this past weekend when a pair of Mazda MX-5 Cup teams, preparing for the 2016 Battery Tender Mazda MX-5 Cup Presented by BFGoodrich Tires, made a visit to an SCCA Club Racing weekend, and won.

This past weekend was the first club race in the SCCA Mid-Atlantic region since both Copeland Motorsports and MEATHEAD Racing had taken delivery of their new 2016 MX-5s. Both teams came ready to test and to race.

Dean Copeland and Nikko Reger used the weekend as a major pre-season test. Copeland noted on Facebook that they "Made lots of big progress with setup and changes and feel [they] have a good handle on the cars! Look forward to getting back in these beauties!"
