Racing Strong Motorsports: 2.2L and 3MZ V6 Builds

Eventually, I formed my own team, Racing Strong Motorsports.

Our first major project was a 1986 Toyota MR2, a first-generation car that I modified with a 2.2-liter engine from the second-generation MR2. It was a little different, which was exactly the point.

That project eventually led to another, more ambitious build: a second-generation 1991 Toyota MR2 powered by a Toyota 3MZ V6. We raced that car at tracks across the country.

There were long weekends, late nights, mechanical failures, victories of our own making, and countless hours spent preparing cars for the next event. We kept racing through approximately 2016.
