1985 Argo Racing JM19C Coupe

  • Chassis Number: 107
By 1985, racecar driver Jim Downing found himself competing and winning in every sort of rotary-powered Mazda RX-2, RX-3, and RX-7 he drove. The factory-backed driver soon found himself looking for something even faster to compete in the top ranks of the IMSA racing series. Enter: the Argo JM-19.

With its chassis developed in the United Kingdom, the C2-class Prototype found life in the United States IMSA GTP Lights class. Built and owned by Downing and powered by a two-rotor 13B engine that made upwards of 350 horsepower, all while weighing less than 2,000 lbs., it was perfect for the class. With Downing at its helm, this JM-19 won 1985, 1986, and 1987 IMSA Prototype Lights Championships as well as competing all the way through 1990.

Downing found much success with Mazda throughout his four-decade career, fostering a relationship that served as the template for today's Mazda Road to Indy and Mazda Road to 24 ladder series. The JM-19 was purchased by longtime Mazda racecar driver Dennis Spencer and is now owned by his son and fellow racer Scott Spencer of Atlanta, Georgia.
