Spirit of Mazda: John Mills

John Mills is a real do-it-yourself kind of guy. He built his own SCCA GT-3 racecar from scratch, and (with a little help from friends, of course) his racing is self-supported. So when it came to recovering from a traumatic brain injury suffered in a crash at Mid-Ohio, he quickly set about finding the most effective methods of recovery so he could go racing again. Now, he seeks to help others who have suffered from TBI to find their own paths to recovery.

If you haven't figured it out by now, the Spirit of Mazda quality that Mills most exhibits, according to friend and fellow GT-3 racer Rob Warkocki, is Challenger Spirit: Set a high goal and keep challenging to achieve it.
