OK folks...some of you may know about the Open Autox that LRP does all year...and the Nutmeg club, along with a few Mass Miata folks, did this last year, and had a freakin' ball!! so once again, the Nutmeg Club will be doing this. Last year we opened it up on a limited basis, to people outside the club. this year we will be having 40 cars/driver instead of 30...reason for this is because with the Saturday date, we have to take the Skidpad too..added cost, additional driving venue. Gives us some spread out room with more cars on the course at one time in separate locations...and BTW, they will wet the skidpad too!!
OK folks..this event is now officially opened to anyone with a Miata...from anywhere as long as you can get there on time and can spend the whole day having an absolute BALL...
This day will include BOTH autocross loops...and the skidpad...which will be watered down at some point. Late afternoon will have both autoX loops joined together to form a .44 mile mini-road course..complete with elevation change.

last year we started with 25 cars, and struggled to get that filled, then as the time got closer, we had to turn away folks, even after we added 5 additional spots. so watch this thread
Another thing that is great about this event..no helmet required..no rollbar required..this is run up in the infield autoX course, They hand time on the lower course and at the end of the year, the top 20 times get invited for a Shootout. 2 cars from our event last year were in the shootout...no classes..no silly SCCA rules...run what ya brung...
I will be handing out some awards...to be determined later...
some of our Nutmeg clubmembers have added friends and family not in Miatas...definitely already have a Toyota MR Spider turbo (was in the year end shootout last year)..and a Porche 914
and here is another tidbit...MassMiata is doing a date also...and a little bird tweeted in my ear that it is tenatively scheduled for Aug 16...also a Saturday...same pricing structure...just throwing that out there for the hard core folks...
