Buy a stock 91 Miata.
Throw on some grippy tires.
Profit! Er… win ES with the local club for the season.
We had so many events this year, many with 2 drivers, that I wore out my Azenis at the last event. I run on different street rubber, so no big deal. I did put a set of new rotors and Hawk HPS pads on the front early in the year, but that, the VLSD, a bit of rust repair, and a stereo swiped from my Civic wagon before I sold it are all I’ve done to the car this year.
It’s hibernating for the winter now. The SW2 was cheaper than a hardtop, and keeps the Miata out of the salt. It may emerge for the Boston BMW ice time trials…
