Pa Group
 

Idk how many Pennsylvania people there are here, but there's a group that stays active for all Mazdas. They're only on Facebook, but just about everyone has that. There's a decent amount of Miata guys there.

PaMazdas

I will check it out, I'm in the Harrisburg area

There's a surprising amount of people from PA on this site. If you want to post up details about any meets or anything for those of us without FB, that would good.

I'm on that facebook group, but there appears to be an overabundance of Clubroadster type modifications to all types of mazdas on there. One comment I remember best was just the other day a kid decided to lower his speed6 by cutting coils off the springs. He said it rides like stock. lol. Someone should really take that car off him, he definitely does not deserve to have a mazdaspeed6 in my opinion.

Im from the allentown area. Does seem like there are a lot of eastern pa people around here.

Yeah that facebook group is pretty much full of riced out mazdaspeed 3's. It's all good though, I'm still part of it.

i would join... but i absolutely hate facebook and everything it stands for... so, i cant join the cool kids club...

Yeah that speed6...I just SMH...

I'll keep up on events on here too for everyone. There are a lot of 3's, but a decent amount of Miatas and other cars. There are some very nice 3's there too. A lot of the people you meet at events though are the 'cool kids.' More of the people that have a... different view on what the car is for dont show up, they're just Facebook warriors. Facebook is a nice basis to keep it local, personal and free.

But there's talk of a BBQ again this year and a lot of people get to the local autox's

Yeah I looked but did not join. I get enough stupid updates from PA's finest (Which I'm mean even a member of). All it is is sh*t talking, K20 swapped civics wanting to race everything, and saying Mustangs are slow. I can't even understand the lingo anymore...it's like their brains are atrophy-ing from non-use. I digress.

I'm also not a fan of the facebook thingy. And the language used is not one I fully comprehend. But if somebody could keep us informed about events, in particular events that require helmets, that wold be great!

Thanks,

Stefan from Bucks County

Come out to this and find me tomorrow:

im on it there but they spam the news feed with trash. im close to deleting the group...

Sunday the Susquehanna region is holding an autocross at the farm show complex.

thirdgen, were running at the hill climb?

just joined...
but a miata thing in pa would be cool

Spending $45 for a few runs at an autocross course always seemed expensive to me. I'm used to $15 days. Regardless, have you ever been out to their events? Are the courses tight or more open?

This will be my first with this group, I missed them last weekend at Hershey. I must be in the wrong crowd, but a $15 day sounds like a steal.

In my experience, the PCA did tighter courses, and were more fun because there were less people. They're still $40 so I hardly went.

Nope. Just hangin out.

How was the autocross event?

I'll be going to one Autocross on the 21st. Either in Allentown: Iron Pigs Autocross
or in Warminster: Warminster PA Autocross
Warminster is closer for me, but if somebody else from the forum is going to Allentown, I'd go to Allentown too.

I'm just across the Delaware and used to be part of LVMOC, back when gas was cheaper. I'd love to do a run again sometime soon.

Hi Tim,

So you're in P-Burg?
I guess your car isn't ready just yet?
If memory serves me right, I believe they allow two drivers/car. I'd let you drive....

ST

I'm close to Trenton NJ. My car runs but needs an oil cooler. I drive it whenever:
1. I don't have to pick my kid up from daycare
2. There isn't a chance of rain

So...like twice so far this summer.

I must have missed those two days without rain...

The autocross on Sunday was...hot. Course layout was great, people were great, and lots of nice cars. It was just a hot day. Afternoon run was apparently cooler, and then it rained.

On the 21st is the next event at the Giant Center.

Was a lot of fun as usual. Susquehanna puts on pretty good events. The morning was hot as hell so we left after that. I'm planning on being at the next one at Hershey on the 21st. Come out and say hi to the slow msm.

Glad to hear it was a good group. Maybe I'll come out on the 21st. Or just wait until the next time it's at the farm show complex. I'm not going to get out on the track this year so at least one autoX would be good.

Or…the Lancaster County corvette club hosts autoX events for only $15. Never been to these either but I know a couple m.netters go. August 18th.

Interesting, I hadn't seen those before. I'll have to check one out, although I'll be up at the Duryea hill climb all day that day. If anyone is ever interested, there's always a ton of Mazda folk up at turn 7 hanging out.

See you at the duryea.

mt.net party at turn 7

My buddy John with a mazda3 with ITBs will be running. I plan to enter both pagoda and Duryea next year. More miatas would be welcome though, there's usually only 2-3
