FLI is extremely excited to announce our partnership with Dobson Motorsports and their 2008 Mazdaspeed3 race car. FLI would like to thank Cobb Tuning for establishing this relationship. This car is part of the 2010 NASA US Touring Championship series and will attend Redline Time Attack events. FLI will provide ECU tuning with full support on each event for the Dobson Motorsports team.

We look forward to finishing the 2010 season with many victories.
