As promised previously, let’s talk about the right way to add more power to your Miata. We could all use some more power, right?

We’ll get back to more technical stuff next month, I promise! I’ll share some thoughts about suspension and wheel/tire upgrades and what we’re doing to Jim Miller’s Copper Red ’08 PRHT. In the meantime though, I’d like to share a recent “adventure” with the thought that you might glean something useful from it. Thanks for indulging my little writing habit! :O)

Events are the heart of what we do as a club/group. Without events, we have 11 meetings and a Christmas party! We’ve been VERY fortunate in 2007 to have a wide variety of club events to participate in. Looking forward to 2008, it’s not too early to be planning events and getting a schedule together. Many events require little time and effort, they just need a smidge of organization. So this month, let’s talk about how to put some different events together. Perhaps you have one you’d like to share with the club!

Hey Miata fans! I hope everyone’s had a great summer, be sure to get out and enjoy all these beautiful fall days we’re having!

So here’s some info on places and sources that I use to find all kinds of things.
