We don't need another class, MX-5 why?
These are not Miatas, they are a different beast.
Put them in ITS or ITR and let them multiply first!:026:

Already in ITR for 2011.

Already in ITR for 2011.

Already in STU for 2011.

And Jerry, if you don't want another class added to the Club roster, then I kindly suggest that you write the Comp Board and ask them to absorb the MX-5 Cup cars into Spec Miata as per the Pro Regs. Or, you can recommend that they cancel Spec Miata and replace it with MX-5 Cup.

Hey, just suggestin'...



GA, who suggested about a brazillion years ago that creating a class only for Mazda Miatas was a pretty stupid idea, given they're already classed in Showroom Stock and Improved Touring, and all that was going to do was dilute the existing entries...hey, just sayin'...

On the SM site I suggested they move the NB(99-05) cars into MX-5 and give the SM class back to the original SMers. They took my post down!
And....they said they wanted my comments!

Holy crap regional racing kicks national racing's butt, entrants wise.

It's really interesting to hear about companies and how they choose to support Club Racing. I often hear "we want national drivers winning with our equipment" and ignore regional racers. I don't get it especially when regional racers represent a larger share of their market. Essentially I've been told I can finish 3rd in an SSC national race (out of 3 LOL!!!) and be better off than 1st in a 30+ ITB field.

Just thought how people still view national vs lowly regional fascinating.

Really? Who? How often?

I have a suspicion that if one scratched at the surface of that, they'd find the Club Racing department and National class racers were at the root of a lot of that opinion. If SCCA wanted VW to pay contingency $$ down 3 places in Regionals like they do for Nationals, it would happen.

The distinction between the two is sustained by people who want it to exist, who benefit from it.

That is an interesting theory, one that I will have to look into.
