Come check out all the Miatas from across the state and beyond!! Meet all your friends from the Miata forums, and local clubs across Florida!
This location was chosen because it's right off the highway, and the midway point between in the state, (two largest miata clubs in this area) so its half the drive and really easy to find.

DATE : APR 8th, 2017 (Saturday)

TIME : 10:00 AM ~ 6:00 PM

LOCATION : Raymond James Football Stadium
4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy,
Tampa, FL 33607

COST : $5.00 Per Person (That's Cheaper than a Movie Ticket!)

The Tampa Stadium is not a free location so we have to charge a minimal admission fee this time.

We will be parking the Miatas in the circular lot directly behind the FootBall Stadium

We will be blocking off the rear section of the parking lot just for the Miata owners!!

Last time we had 500 Miatas show up,
expected to break the 800+ mark this time!!!

Please DO NOT show up before 10:00 AM !!

ONLY the Miatapalooza STAFF and vendors should arrive BEFORE 10:00 AM

The Staff needs to have a chance to setup and EAT before the crowds/caravans arrive!

If you come early and are NOT on the Miatapalooza Staff, and/or not a Vendor, you will be asked to return to your Miata and come back at 10:00 AM !!!

Keep in mind we need time in the morning to properly set everyone up.

We ask that you do not arrive before 10:00 at the earliest. There are no gates , so no waiting, and no need to be early.

We will be there all day, and the weather is going to be great.

Thank You again so much, we truly appreciate your Cooperation!



Once the Miatapalooza Staff is ready to go at 10:00 AM we will allow Miatas to park into the Miata Corral parking area.

Other makes are welcome


We are VERY tight on spaces this year so if you are not arriving in a Miata you will need to park where we assign parking.

EVENT RULES
MUST READ!!

By attending this event you agree to our rules, and the rules set by the Tampa Stadium.

No Reckless Driving
No Drifting
No Racing
No Burnouts
No Revving
No Drugs
No Alcohol
No Fighting
No Littering

Please help us to be able to continue these types of events by respecting the rules!!!!

Thumper13 & BigBlue will have no problem escorting you to your vehicle and asking you to leave immediately if you can't follow these simple rules. Tampa Bay Stadium is allowing us to rent their parking lot, so lets show some gratitude, it only takes 1 person to label the whole group as bad apples. DON'T BE THAT PERSON! Because you will get BANNED from future events, the forums, and the Miatapalooza facebook page as well!

On a side note, the Stadium is being kind enough to let us use their parking lot and this year, so please DO NOT LITTER in the parking lot!

I plan to drive Sharka. Of course... plans can change, but my current plan is to drive down in Sharka by myself.

There's a chance my wife and daughter would wanna come. They'd either fly or drive Bucky. We'd switch revkid back and forth between the two Miatas. She loves doing that on mountain drives.

[theothersawyer]

Oh my goodness! I could see Sharka! I am excited!

[NCGreasemonkey]

^ My thoughts TOS ^

[Phatmiata]

Come to Miatapalooza

We have Revlimiter

[NCGreasemonkey]

Just need my coil-overs bought and installed. I'm there. Then HammerHead throws up the wing. And you talk brushed airfoil. And he shows pics... Y'all have a vacuum aimed at my wallet!

Is there going to be a deal made with local lodging for a discount rate for MR.n member's rooms? I know that might be to early to ask. But just a side note. :beersong:

[Airbrush1]

My goal is to impress everyone in attendance with my car :) I have lots of work to do!

I plan on heading down with my two BRGs from New England. I'm also looking to map out my entire drive/itinerary so, if folks want to meet up and join the caravan, they are more than welcome.

I can't wait!

[tsingson]

You taking 95 down, Jim?

[theothersawyer]

How are you going to drive two Miatas at the same time?

gonna be a convoy of Miatas coming from up east coast heading down south, you guys should just take the week off and then you can hit Rspeed or other tuners on your way down here,

[Hammerhead]

^^There will be camping sites available on Randy's property!^^

[MLambert19]

Does this awesomeness take place every April? Unfortunately BRG #225, the wife and I, will be unable to make it this time around. However, my folks have a place in Titusville, and weather permitting, I might try to make it next year.

I could meet up with Wasabi and join the BRG convoy!

[theothersawyer]

This is taking place in 2017! The last one was 3 years ago!

[MLambert19]

Oh! Dur, it's 2016, 2017 is NEXT year. In which case, Jim - Wasabi, I'll be in touch. Maybe I'll have everything squared away by then!

[Phatmiata]

^^There will be camping sites available on Randy's property!^^

Let's see how many Miatas can we fit on my property. I'll tell my neighbors I'm opening a used Mazda car lot.

Randy, I want the camping spot next to the lake. What is the rental for that?

[Airbrush1]

So excited for this. We'll be leaving from Maryland and taking 95 south, certainly up for joining a caravan. Stopping at places like rspeed sounds awesome!

Randy, I want the camping spot next to the lake. What is the rental for that?

Lake is down the street but lots of gators. Not recommended as a sleeping area :teehee:

I may be moved by the time this comes up so if I am I'll be there for sure since I'd be coming from St augustine.

[NCGreasemonkey]

Come on DriftDevil. Chad ( GreaseMonkey2000 ) is a Texan and is trying to make the trip from there. Alaska, Cali. and over-seas are coming. I'm coming as long as there are no life threatening occurrences or death. :slayer:

Oh I'm still thinking of going if I'm in texas, but for me it would be a week long trip. And with the possibility of moving out there anyway would suck up my vacation time I would be needing to use to move.

[tsingson]

So I just did a drive to Orlando and I am not sure I can do this one. That was one hell of a drive. Not sure if I can make it to Tampa in the NB.

[Martin]

I'm tempted to call you a wuss, but I won't ;)

[Ctsquid]

Just had a look at my schedule for next year and I have the week following off. Looks like I'll be making the trip from Connecticut!

[Cxmoney]

I'll be there. Either in a regular ND or a RF!!

[Phatmiata]

Just confirmed with MOSS MIATA http://www.mossmiata.com/ that they will be sponsoring Miatapalooza 2017 !!

[Tristan75]

Will do my best to assist one more Miatapalooza :)

[MiataQuest]

I will be there with my Miata if I go EcoTec turn-key this winter or if my garage heater works well. (It is being installed next week!)
If not, I will fly in and drive the official car of Florida, a rented Kia.

I can't wait to see all the Miata interpretations and meet forum members.

[guitar1948]

The Villages Fl Miata/MX5 Club is planning on participating in this event ( 20+ vehicles.)

We have several questions...

Will there be food vendors ? Any problem with folks bringing in snacks ( realize it's no alcohol allowed!)

Will it be possible for our caravan of cars to park together ( in close proximity ) once we get there?

Will vendors / exhibitors actually have products/ accessories for sale?

Any guesstimate as to the total number of miatas participating/ largest number of miatas from a single Club ( based on last Miatapalooza?)

We're all really looking forward to this event!!!

Thanks.

Yes there will be on-site food and drink vendors, bring cash though not sure if they take credit/debit

Yes you can bring snacks but no BBQ grills and no alcohol or the like as its private property



Will it be possible for our caravan of cars to park together ( in close proximity ) once we get there?



If you all arrive as a caravan you will be parking as a caravan, no worries there at all.




Will vendors / exhibitors actually have products/ accessories for sale?


Yes bring cash as a lot of the vendors had exclusive show only prices last time!!

And yes a lot of Miata specific vendors will be setting up tent booths to showcase and sell their parts, and some onsite installs might be happening or at least some workshops showing how to install and tune.

Check this thread for updates from the vendors on who's attending and what's happening.

.

Hard to say but at the last event we had a sign in sheet for clubs, we got about 200 from the Tampa clubs, 200 from central Florida areas, 100 from north Florida areas, and 100 from south Florida areas. Also had people drive from Georgia, The Carolinas and even 2 guys that flew in from Spain to attend. It was about 430 counted miatas and we stopped counting after that and they still kept showing up.

[Agent☣Orange]

I'll be there strip dancing and signing autographs as usual.

[Phatmiata]

Yes but disguising it with MX-5 badges.

[Hyper]

I also lived in Panama right before I came to the US in 1988.

I have an idea to the forum sponsors that will participating in the event.

I suggest to have a vendor create a shirt with our forum name. Of course we will pay in advance before the date of the event which we can pick up at a booth or shipped to us prior to the event. The reason being with so many people is hard to lose track and greet everyone that I know and talked for years. So if you see a shirt that says "Agent Orange, Revlimiter or Phatty" I know exactly who dat dude is and where his ride should be.

Let me know, is a cool idea

[Phatmiata]

We have Official Miatapalooza tee shirts in the works with all the sponsors names on the back, and a special thanks to our forum sponsor http://www.ShintaroDesign.com for another great design!

If you need artwork done for your Business or local Miata Club send him an email, super easy to work with and a great Miata guy at heart.

The Official Miatapalooza Tee shirts will be available for sale at the show, more details to follow!!

5XRacing

John from 5Xracing will also be at Miatapalooza to show off some of his newest parts for both the street tuners and the Spec Miata guys. John had a lot of really cool stuff at his booth at the last Miatapalooza, and was giving out some event only items as well! Thank you 5Xracing for supporting Miatapalooza again!

For those not familiar with 5XRacing, they offer some of the best quality parts and accessories for your racecar or high-performance street car. 5XRacing is a Spec Miata specialist, they build their own racecars, develop new products, perform all of the work on their racecars, track test the parts they create and sell, and ultimately they race them with you! They compete in the Spec Miata class within the Southeastern U.S. in SCCA Regional Competition and NASA Florida Spec Miata Challenge. If you are looking for performance parts or just curious about getting into more racing events you really need to speak with John at http://5xracing.com/

Has anyone updated threads on the other boards? m.net and CR?

Has anyone updated threads on the other boards? m.net and CR?

I would LOVE to update CR considering I was a co-creator of that forum.

However, after Tim sold that forum and Stoly came on as acting admin he Banned my account on there because he had a dispute with a moderator on this forum.

I asked to please unlock my account there but nothing has happened. Lol

As for M.net I still have my account on there since the beginning and have even talked with the owner Gary who will be attending Miatapalooza, and I have been updating that thread pretty much every week along with this one.

I also tried to copy paste the info on Mturbo but it won't allow copy pasting anymore since they sold that forum.

I'm so, so jealous. Wish I could attend, buuut...

When in Rome, do as the Romans!!

MIATALAND

MIATALAND is the dream resort for all Roadster enthusiasts; the perfect way to have a beautiful holiday brake in Italy, near Rome and Assisi, and to drive the most sought after miatas and Eunos Roadster through vineyards and olive trees. Typical old Italian villages, great food, the beauty of central Italy to discover with the miata you always wanted to drive; because in the room price is included a tour with a miata of our collection! At Miataland you will find the most important miata collection in the world with 39 MAZDA ROADSTERS from Japan, USA and Europe; with almost all the limited editions in between.
In a beautiful resort with 7 suites and double rooms, each of them inspired by miata colours; from mariner blue, to British racing green or to velocity red. With an infinity pool overlooking the countryside and five stars comforts
From may 2017 you can live the Roadster as never before; book now on www.miataland.it and the first 50 guests will have a free pickup service from Rome airport.

The owner Andrea is here on our little forum in case anyone has questions about this fine establishment.

Book a flight! I'll buy you a few coozies to take home! :P

[RustRat]

I would seriously consider it, but it's difficult. Plus, Plane tickets are like 1000 euros.

Do I want to have my Miata ready by summer, or go to Miatapalooza? :P

But what if you could find all the parts you needed at Miatapalooza for €1000 cheaper than in Greece? :)

[RustRat]

In fact I have parts I would like to sell that are worth almost $1000, so the buyer saves shipping, and I will have cheaper plane tickets.

What to do, what to do...
