    Horrible name.

    I'm liking the sound of Miatas @ AMP and hopfully Miatas @ Road Atlanta.

    +3, A terrible name indeed. They must really be trying to get the 16-24yr old demographic that only have a Miata because it his the 'cool' car at the moment.... ....i hope they change it otherwise I could see it going down like B-Rad's slogan for his dad's campaign..."Bill Gluckman is down with the ��'s and ��'s"

    And they announced its no longer Miatagasm and back to just Miatas at Laguna Seca. Very smart choice.

    Thank Goodness! Maybe they got hacked and didn't want to admit it? That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    I think they knew it was questionable because the post mentioned that they had secured "Miatas at Laguna Seca" in advance as well.

    Well Mazda no longer sponsors Laguna Seca, so it was no longer could be called Miata's at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

    They tried the same thing last year, and got about the same response.

    Technically it's LSR now. Without Mazda's help I think they are worried about not being able to get a full weekend in the future and having to move so they are trying to brand it site neutral. Hopefully they have figured out that is not the right brand name.
