Looks like the wife and I are going to take the step from running local or state events and going to a national competition. Farmington looks to be about the smallest one around, perhaps even smaller than some of the local events that we run here in Phoenix.
For the first time out we are going to be co-driving another vehicle, a 10AE miata prepped for CS. We normally run a 97 miata in ES so this should not be far off, only thing I need to get used to is the shorter first gear since the 10AE has the 6 speed.
Wish us luck!

I'll have to come out and cheer you guys on. 
Too bad my miata is all the way in Houston right now, :(
you could bring the BABE car

You should love the Farmington lot - it's huge, and it slopes, so there is elevation change with some off-camber corners possilble. The couple of divisionals I have run there had good courses, pretty quick. If it rains, the slope helps drain the area, but one time we did have really wet conditions - but that is unusual. A great site and friendly people, it should be a good time. I still haven't decided whether I'm going, as I have to rebuild the suspension in my MR2, which if I do show up will be the dark grey slow STS2 car or slow SP car, depending on which tires I bring.
I used to run in Phoenix back in the early '70s when I lived in Flagstaff. Back then an SCCA autocross consisted of the PIR infield and half the oval, with maybe a dozen cones set up to show you the line through the corners. One time Don Roberts was setting up a customer's Cobra Daytona Coupe (a real one) on the back straight, and on a whim entered the event. He took FTD, but only after looping it into the desert once, just missing a saguaro! I don't think any Daytona owners would authorize that today!
You'll have fun in Farmington.
See if you can get the chance to run that car hard before hitting the course. The 6-speed has a different feel than the 5. Good luck!
We have the Nationals just down the road from us this year. I'll probably stop in to spectate one day to see how the good guys do it.
I have had a chance to drive the car once already, unfortunately going back to school is going to prevent me from getting to drive the car again.
It should be fun, I am really looking forward to it.
