    No need to push... all the lemmings run over the cliff.

    If you want to 'develop' the car, go ITA. If you want to just go and race, SM.

    I am leaning toward SM for this reason. Can always go ITA if I want to go a little faster.

    I'd suggest running ITA. Plenty of competition and less of the politics (and spec tires) that come with SM. Hit up Bowie Gray with Conover Motor Sports... he ran an ITA 1.6 liter car very successfully.

    I bought a miata to build an SM. It was taking to long to build so I bought an ITA mazda protege and now i'm having so much fun running with the IT guys that the miata will be an ITA car when done. I vote for IT

    I went through driving school in an Austin Healey Sprite, they stuck me in with the Miata's. Scary, those guys hit everything but the lottery. if you are going to race it, stock up on bumper covers and front fenders.

    Since it is black, it's really not a Miata...

    It's an MX-5 Roadster.

    Just go lurk on the SM website. Those guys BRAG about the hits.
    Those guys are PROUD of how many hits they have taken.
