\"Mazda<\/a><\/p>\n

This 1991 Mazda Miata called “Balto” was built by Evil Genius Racing<\/a> in Davis, California to compete in LeMons racing. The original motor was sold when the team purchased the car and is now powered by a two-stroke 700 cc inline-three taken from a Yamaha Mountain Max snowmobile. The CVT transmission was also taken from the snowmobile and the entire powertrain weighs only 85 lb. The only drawback is the engine still has a pull start which means the team is out of luck if the engine shuts off on the track.
