On October 15-16, the Southwest Formula Mazda Series ran Rounds 11 and 12 at Texas Motor Speedway. There were 18 Formula Mazdas participating with 11 competing for Series points. Going into the weekend, Russell Walker was leading the championship by only 4 points in front of David Stover. On Saturday, Stover got the pole. Walker, having technical problems with his car, qualified 6th. Walker fought long and hard during the race, but could only obtain a 4th place with his car troubles. 16 year olds Steven Hickham and Alex Ardoin had a fantastic battle going for 2nd. Hickham prevailed and finished 2nd behind Stover. Ardoin finished 3rd. Overnight, the problem with Walker's car was rectified. It seems that he had a defective part on his car. On Sunday, Michael Tari got the "pole" with Walker in 2nd and Stover in 3rd. After the first lap, Stover had recaptured his usual lead position. Walker, having his technical problems cured, put the pressure on Stover. They battled it out going side by side for many laps. Stover won the race with Walker in 2nd. The Series concluded with Round 13 at No Problem Raceway near Baton Rouge, Louisiana on November 12th. Stover qualified on the "pole" with Walker only .005 seconds behind him. 2004 Series Champion Darryl Wills, returning from an FM hiatus, qualified 3rd. Ardoin and Hickham were back at it qualifying 4th and 5th. However, Hickham failed the weight tech and had to start the race in the back. Stover, kept his lead in front of Walker for the entire race. It looked as if it would be the usual "1-2" finish, but Walker got a cut in his tire and had to pit for a tire change. The tire change went as well as any NASCAR pit stop, and Walker was back in the race loosing only 2 positions. With only 7 laps left, Walker made it up to 3rd and finished the race behind Wills. Hickham, running a remarkable race from the back, finished 5th.
