Hey Rick,
It might be boring just puttering around but once you learn it and get up to speed it is anything but that. Fontana sees fields of 25 - 35. Bump drafting is common and with it we'll get close to 130. Lots of nose to tail and side by side racing. The other two tracks are just as fun with plenty of pucker factor. You will be challanged by all three tracks and the good compettion and should check it out. Happy to provide some lead/follow the first time to help get you up to speed. :)

Thanks Grant. I'll take you up on that. See you out there. I'll hit Laguna one last time next month then south I go.

Thanks for the input John. I plan on doing that. I don't think I've ever hit 130 on the tracks up here. Doubt my car would even do that!
Cheers

In the draft it's rather easy, fun & scary !!

I am a pathetic mechanic. Do you know of anyone in the Costa Mesa area that works on Miatas cost effectively?
Thanks in advance
