Spending yesterday at the racetrack, I was pretty intrigued by the Spec Miata class.
Anyone have experience with this? Looks like it'd be a blast. |

A Spec Miata is one of the cheapest ways to go racing. They are tons of fun, although they are not real fast. When I get back into wheel to wheel racing, it will be in a Spec class again. I enjoyed the tight competition when I raced a Spec RX-7 more than Vintage Racing my 914.
Spec Miata is now a National SCCA Class, so you can go as far as you want to. NASA and several other groups also support the class. Mazda Motorsports has GREAT tech and parts support. You can get parts from them at less than dealer cost. There is also probably sponsorship support availabe from whatever spec tire is required in your region. I know there was from Kumho when I ran the Spec RX-7. |
