That's the weekend before the big Miata Reunion at Sears Point. 3000 miles, roughly 45 hours of drive time. Leave Sunday, get to Sacramento on Thursday. I hope someone's planning an epic road trip :)

I'd love to pop over for that, I'll be at Thompson with Xtreme Xperience that weekend if any GRMers want to come hang out and drive a Ferrari/Lambo/Porsche/etc. with me.

 

I'm not sure if playing with supercars at Thompson instead of driving my Miata at Lime Rock counts as a :( or a :) face, so you can judge :)

In reply to David S. Wallens :

I am 100% tempting you. Pick your Miata, it could either be a GRM or a CM article :)

35th anniversary celebration of the car at the Reunion this year, I think GRM would do well to attend. I know a guy if you need a connection.

I know, I know. I’m showing and judging at Hilton Head that weekend. Otherwise, I’d be Miata-ing. 

You'll need to log in to post.
