Maybe sometimes it does pay to just show up. Last weekend’s class win has propelled us to fourth in our local SCCA points race, meaning we’re in the trophies.
Added bonus: We’re also the top-placing, naturally aspirated Miata in our local XSB class.
Last time we put our Garage Rescue Miata on the dyno–back in the year 2000–it made …
And that's the key: just show up. Worst case, you'll have fun. 
Next points event is in Lakeland, so about a hundred miles from here.
JG just asked if I'm going.

Way to go David! Keep it up.

Go. Lakeland's a fun site with a Miata -- shaped well enough for interesting courses, the pavement ripples a bit in strategic spots, so the grip changes, and there's shade in the paddock.
In reply to Warlock :
You and JG are going to make me get up at like 5:00 in the morning, aren't you?
I don't see Lakeland on the schedule, but good news, this is closer and we don't have to cross Orlando!
Thanks for posting the link to the points for the year. I didn't know that I am in a tie for first place in E Street.
Congrats on the tie for E Street.
And I'm seeing Lakeland events listed for November 5 and December 10. I'm looking here.
Also, Martin's night event takes place on October 30.

Well, it's a surprise when the rest of the class is made up of Miatas that make a lot more power. We have a cool field down here.
Update: Martin's October 30 event is not a night autocross.
You'll need to log in to post.
