Hey everybody,
I am new to the forum. And am looking to get behind the seat of a miata. Any miata will do, but here is my idea-- I live in Santa Cruz and have done two different track days (one with NASA and one with HOD). I would like to go to Thunderhill with Nasa and run in the A or B group for HPDE, which is basically just a track day with optional instructors. The problem is that my car that I was using an Alfa Romeo 164, is way too difficult to find parts for and expensive to work on. I do all the work, but when you can't even find performance brake pads for the car-- you start to realize it isn't a good track machine.
I am 23 years old, friendly, smart and looking to make friends who have the ability to throw me a bone and let me take a car out on the track. I will not thrash equipment and really this is a way for me to develop my line, track skills, and be on my way for the next SCCA driving school. In return for letting me use the car on the track-- hoping to get out both days (Sat and Sun) I will help out with any and all pit duties you need for the car. I am an apprentice to a mechanic in Santa Cruz, mostly for fun and to earn spending money-- so, I can help out with whatever needs done (or take lead).
The limiting factor for me is financially, as I can't blow all my money on one track day or I won't be able to go out again. Therefore, the arrive and drive option for a spec miata is completely out the window. However, if I was to crash the car (which unless someone hits me or a wheel falls off won't happen) I would cover the cost of the car.
Even if you have just some parts miata that runs I'll take that out. Or even if it isn't a miata but you have a car that I can track that'd be awesome. I wouldn't mind doing some work before hand on it like brakes and finding tires etc., so please shoot me any and all offers you can think of.
Thanks,
Max
