If you Nationals attendees want to have a get together this year, I live out in the country about 20 minutes north of the Nationals site. Also, if you need a shop to work on something that breaks while there, let me know. I have a decently equipped shop and a pretty good pile of Miata parts.

It appears that Nationals will not fall on the 10 days that we always go to Canada for our fishing trip, so I should be around this year.

You are right. I had "streetable" in mind when I made that statement, the top CSP cars are as streetable as a top SSM car.

Is that offer open to a miata owner competing in a SSM FD as well?

Sure. When it gets closer we can have a get-together thread and I can give out my phone numbers.

Only if you drive up in a Miata, traitor! j/k
BTW, I hear the NEDivs will be at FedEx field this year, with an Evo School prior. Will you be instructing/competing there?

I may take you up on it. Closer to Nats, especially if I plan to attend, I will post on the local meets section. Keep us in mind then.

The only event we may attend at FedEx is the Pro Solo, but are leaning more toward going to Lincoln instead since they are the same distance from us. If we do that we can get more seat time at the Nationals site.

You'll be at the FLT though, right? This I will definitely attend, along with the Evo Advantage. I'm also doing the Evo at Devens in May. I'm planning on having a fun year!

If you want to be competitive in SSM or XP without spending $40k, just buy the FD that came 2nd at nationals. It was forsale last week on scca forums for under $20k.
Yeah, I would buy that if oh I dunno, I had 18.5k$ sitting around. Sigh.. If only. I've always wanted an FD, but I'd have to be financially stable enough for the retarded maintenance.

Yeah, that was the one I was thinking about! Thanks. It really looks appropriate for a good competitive build.
