Hi All,

I am toying with the idea of getting my son into a Spec Miata. He's 18 and has been racing shifter karts for the past 3 years. We live in Southern California and I was thinking of renting a car for a track day to see if he has any interest in pursuing it further. Does anyone have a suggestion on where I can rent one? It would be helpful if it included some driver coaching as well.


Thanks,
Kevin.

Good call on the Trackspeed Rob.

Nick, one of the owners...just won the 25hour with 949 Racing.

He was a regular top 5 finisher in spec miata last year and would be a good guy to at least get some direction from.

If you want to meet and talk to the So Cal SCCA Spec Miata crowd, we will be at AAA Speedway in Fontana Jan. 20-22.
Only boring people get bored.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I sent Trackspeed an e-mail, but did not get a response... I'll probably have to actually call them. See you at Fontana.
