I'm gonna do my darndest to make it in the Miata. I've got a different roll bar on order. I think I'll need to install a racing seat in order to get the top of my helmet to be 2" lower than the top of my the bar. I'll also need arm restraints and 1/2" of padding on the bar near my helmet.

I did this last year in the 2.5RS. It was a good time for sure. I did have to replace my brake pads Saturday night just to be able to run on Sunday. The event did kind of show just how underpowered that car was compared to a lot of others, it's gonna be rough in the Miata for the same reason.

If I remember correctly that $80 covers the whole weekend.

I won't do this event in a car I own, but if anyone else is interested in a codriver, I may be inclined. Something with power would be nice...

It's not safe enough to risk his own car, but he'd be happy to risk yours.

This event is no more dangerous than a regular autocross, if you are an experienced autocrosser. It just has less turns, which means less fun IMO.

It was kind of fun beating up on fully prepped Solo I cars though.
