Super Miata East
It is official. March 2-3, 2019 will be the first SuperMiata race east of California/Nevada at the beautiful Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, AL. The event will be hosted by World Racing League and Tracks Unlimited. Cost will be $600 for the weekend. That includes 2.5-3+ hours of track time each day. To really lock this thing in, we need to get 15 drivers signed up by January 1st.We are still ironing out the time schedule details for the weekend. By early December we will have more details ready. We are currently only targeting S2 class, but will entertain others.
So get your Miatas ready for some great racing. It does not have to be fully prepared to the rules to have fun. Got a Spec Miata? Get a set of Maxxis RC1's, pull your restrictor and come have fun. Got a Miata with a cage? Read the rules on racesupermiata.com and get your car prepared as close as you can. If you have any questions, let just contact myself and I'll be happy to answer any questions. I know a lot of folks have been waiting for this, so lets make it a hit! If Barber is well attended, we'll be looking into more tracks in the Southeast, Mid Atlantic, Mid West, and Texas to add dates to file out 2019. |
HYPE!!!
I'm excited to see this happen. Study material for Barber? This is 130rwhp, 2400lbs, 205 R7s, OEM aero: |
I'll be there... in something. Someone else needs to bring/ build a S1 so I'm not dancing alone

And that's the conundrum... do I ditch S1 (or postpone) and start a fresh S2 build? Decisions decisions...

Maybe by the time S1 rolls around I can do a S1 build as well. Just imagine, 1:35s at Barber :D |
That's what i'm talking about!
So I have an NA chassis in the shop i can use... or i can search for a NB chassis and be happier about it after putting a cage in and all... NA or NB? |

No direct advantage for NA's or NB's because you can swap the best parts around.
|
Light NA body with NB subs... good
|
Pretty much. Pick the 1.8L and the fuel or your choice, dyno, safety, and come play.

My car isn't caged yet, but hoping this is successful.

Comes down to your personal preference of NA vs NB cosmetics or what you can get a deal on. Per the rules, free updates/ backdates -subframes -spindles -brakes -engines -diffs -4.3 R&P mandatory Air dam and spoiler equalize lift, drag, frontal area Championship winners 2014 - NA chassis, NB2 engine 2015 - NA, chassis, NB2 engine 2016 - NB Chassis, NB1 engine 2017 - NA chassis, NB2 engine 2018 - NA chasis, NB1 engine & NB chassis, NB engine (driver has both) 2015 |

Tell your friends. To paraphrase Emilio, if you're sitting there hoping its going to be successful, then you're going to watch it fail. We need participants to move this forward.

Just picked up a NB1 chassis to build into a S2
Here we come! |
I just wanted to update everyone on some more details that we have locked in for the first SuperMiata East race at Barber Motorsports Park on March 2-3 presented by World Racing League and Tracks Unlimited. Entry fee: The entry fee will be $599 for the weekend. SPM drivers will get nearly 3 hours of total track time per day. SuperMiata registration will be setup this week. Tracks Unlimited @ Barber Motorsport Park registration. Please remember we have to have 15 cars registered to race by January 1st to lock everything in. So register now and show WRL and TU you want to be a part of this growing series. Schedule: SPM will be run within the Red – Advanced group for practices and qualifying. Then in the afternoon there were be an hour to run the dual sprint races in the same format as the West group. That means the inverted grid for the first race based on qualifying. Then a 15-20min race. From the results of that race, the grid will be inverted again for the second race (15-20min as well). Sunday’s races will start with an inverted grid from the second race on Saturday and follow the same format as Saturday’s races. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...91e7d85eb5.jpg Car requirements: Any car that is legal for competition will be allowed to race, except the following items need to be present (not optional) - Aluminum, non FIA, or expired FIA seats must have a back brace attached to the cage - No slider seat rails. Seats must have a fixed mount. - Center nets required. - If no onboard fire system is present, the driver must demonstrate the ability to reach the handheld fire extinguisher bottle while belted into the seat. SuperMiata strives to meet FIA safety standards as we feel this is the most up-to-date regulations presently being used. Currently SPM West is requiring full halo seats and onboard fire systems for 2019. That is being waived ONLY for SPM East due to the increased cost of entering a new series. For 2020 all SPM East cars will be require to meet/exceed the safety standards set by SPM West. The items listed above make the biggest impact on safety for the value.Classes: Please read the rules multiple times. Will be focused on S2 class cars, however if anyone shows up with a legal S1 car, they will be allowed to run as well. S3 will not be run. This was an experimental class that SPM West ran last year with limited results. If you have a 1.6L car, you will need to convert to any 94-05 1.8L (non MSM) to be legal. Emilio posted a few items we will make concessions on for the first race below, but other than that your car will need to be S2 legal. If you have a question, please contact Javier or myself before the race. We are working hard to iron more details out in the coming weeks. I look forward to seeing everyone out there and meeting everyone. Even if you do not have a legal W2W car, but are interested in SuperMiata and have plans to join the races in the near future, please sign up for HPDE program with Tracks Unlimited. Let us show them there is a serious interest in the race series. |
As promised in the fb group, if WRL gets 12 paid entries for the first event at Barber, we will two two S2's out and race with you all.

Still waiting on JR to give that SPM option on motorsportreg... not seeing anything WRL as of yet, only Tracks Unlimited

since our SCCA august date at barber is off this year due to paving the track i was interested until i read the rules.
My car would be an ITA cross over. it makes around 130whp No 1.6 love, no sphericals, no 4.88 with aftermarket diff, no aluminum clutch cover. Start posting this around the regional scca and miata pages. There has to be some mothballed miatas out there somewhere. |
Registration for the first SuperMiata outside of California is live! It will be held at Barber Motorsports Park outside of Birmingham, AL on March 2-3. Remember we must have 15 cars signed up by January 1st to make this happen. I know many of you have told me you were just waiting on registration to be ready. So join now so we can start planning more details. Once we have 10-12 cars signed up by mid-January, Emilio is going to pack up two of his cars and make the trip out as well. Barber is a wonderful track. I was just there last weekend and it is perfect for a Miata. Great flow and multiple passing opportunities. If you aren't planning on racing, come out and join the HPDE. Lets show Tracks Unlimited that there is serious interest in growing this series outside of California. If you have any questions about the event, please contact me. https://www.motorsportreg.com/events...limited-997957 |
Signed up - done

Cool. We had another fellow in the midwest buy what we dubbed "S2 in a box". Full suspension, wheels, brakes, engine prep, ECU, the works.
Maybe we should add it as a pre-packaged kit :) |

I'm working on getting the required graphics made up and provided to the competitors. I was thinking about ordering a small amount of the SuperMiata number panels (available on the West group for download). I'm still working out a few details and looking for additional sponsors for the event.
