My First Race - NASA Spec Miata at Buttonwillow Raceway

OMG! I'm stoked to find this. I just bought a hard top "Miata" (They're just called MX5's in Australia).

I was planning just to teak it but I might have to race-spec it instead.

LOL. Any rules against right-hand drive vehicles in US racing?

I'm not sure! Probably depends on what organization you race with.

Anyone have a video of a miata with the S2000 motor?? would love to see that in action

@91DAintegraB20 the closest i've seen is this : watch?v=ocQ_R5MO7Vc and it's a mazda v6. generally people who do swaps seem to go for rotaries or v8's.

Good driving! I'll be getting my comp license soon and I might see you on the track. I currently drive a BMW but have been thinking very hard about selling it and picking up a Spec Miata.

Thanks! You really can't go wrong with a spec miata. Fun to drive, handles great and reliable... plus there are usually a lot of cars in the field which means you'll always have someone to race, if you're slow like me or if you're in the front!
