I bought my first Miata back in 1991 (Crystal White).  Around 2000, I
was encouraged to go to an autocross, which I absolutely loved.  Later
that same year, I installed a roll bar so that I could check out the
racetrack scene.  In 2003, I decided that my addiction to going to the
track was great enough that I wanted to check out the racing scene,
so I converted this once humble daily driver into a Spec Miata racecar.  
I now race the car in SCCA and NASA events, running in the Spec
Miata and ITA race classes.  The car is often seen at open track
events, as well, and I now run events of my own under the name T.E.
A.M. Racing (
www.team-racing.org).  I also instruct for clubs like
NASA, SCCA, Hooked on Driving, Track Masters, Leadfoot Adventures,
and of course T.E.A.M.  I truly enjoy the world of motorsports, and I
love sharing it with others.  This car has been so good to me, I can’t
complain one bit!

Before I could start the build of the racecar, I had to get another daily
driver.  I looked high and low, but could not resist buying another
Miata.  So now I am also the proud owner of a 1993 Classic Red that
has treated me quite well.  I’ve kept the mods down on this car to
just some Falken Azenis tires and KYB AGX shocks.  Though this little
gem does not haul many groceries, what it does haul makes me very
happy.
