Overview:

Daryl Drummond has been involved in the Mazda racing scene since early in the 1970s. This is not to mention a pre Mazda racing interest in drag racing and off road racing.

Over the years, Daryl has been actively involved in most venues of Mazda racing with emphasis in SCCA club, where users of his products have netted nine national championships with seven different drivers in three different classes.

Often times competitors are using products he has developed, unknowingly, as the products are distributed by MAZDASPEED Motorsports Development.

"Perhaps the high point of my career is the involvement with Mazda and a large number of top flight competitors racing the Mazda rotary engine."

Daryl Drummond has been chosen by Star Mazda Race Cars to build the bulletproof, 170hp 13B engines for the spec Formula Mazda class.
