Post subject:  Spec Miata Racing.....Do you know anything about it?
Now that the rally car is crashed and I am all upset about that the thought of road racing has entered my mind. I know I will get really bored (as I did with kart racing) but that is no reason not to have fun for a little while.

I am looking for inside information on hot setups, preferred years and why, wheels, tires, suspension, add ons, what to look for in a street, or already prepped Miata? Stuff like that.

Thanks,
Chris

true dat on Mankiew! I went over to his house and he had like a half dozen Miatas in the driveway all in various states of AutoX upgrades. (among another couple mitsu project vehicles) Perfect candidate for your info though... :)

Thanks to all, but I ended up buying a house last week. For those who dont know Bay Area (CA) house pricing, this means I wont be racing too much for a while.

No kidding. You're nutz. Spec Miata WOULD have been a great way to go racing. It's inexpensive and easy to stay competitive. If you want something cheap just to get seat time, you can usually buy a decent prepared Improved Touring car for anywhere from $2500-4000 with spares.

I'll be interested to see the difference now that 99+ models are allowed in. I'm sure they will try and equalize them but it will be hard to see what restrictor plates will do to the motors.

ive heard that people favour the earlier 1.6 over the later 1.8. this being becaus more modifications are allowed to the 1.6 the equal them out.
