I would like to announce the very first Spec Miata Series in Canada. This series will be called the Toyo Tires Spec Miata Championship. This new Road Racing Series has been created by racers for racers, and its about time Spec Miata made its debut in Canada. In a combined effort of The Road Racers of Atlantic Canada and Atlantic Region Motorsports (ARMS), this series will take place from May to October 2011 on the 2.75km, 11-turn Road Race course at Atlantic Motorsport Park, Shubencadie, Nova Scotia. The Championship consists of 7 Sprint-type races. The rule book has been taken directly from SCCA SM class. As a bonus to this incredible new series, all SM class Miatas are eligible to participate in all scheduled ARMS Sedan Regional Road Races (in the GT5 class) during a typical ARMS race day.

A little more race weekend info; We are holding two double race events this year at Atlantic Motorsport Park in Nova Scotia. The dates are June 25/26 and August 20/21. The entry fee for the double events are $450. What that gives you SM and/or SSM guys is an insane amount of track time. All SM or SSM Miatas can race in the GT5 class (in all other races). All you need is a valid race license and your annual tech (or get tech'd at our track). If you want to register in the Toyo Tires Spec Miata Championship and run at least 1 race, you will be eligible for series & contingency prizes.

The double events offer the following races (and you can race in all of them);
Saturday;
- 30 min. practice/qualifying session
- 15 lap Sprint Series A race
- 15 lap Sprint Series B race
- 10 lap Spec Miata race
- 1-hour enduro race
- 15 lap Unlimited race

Sunday;
- 30 min. practice/qualifying session
- 15 lap Sprint Series A race
- 15 lap Sprint Series B race
- 10 lap Spec Miata race
- 1-hour enduro race
- 15 lap Unlimited race

They are also talking about a practice session on Friday night too. So if you are looking for a motorsport vacation, pack her up and come play on our track!

No Moose bumpers required. We do have a couple of "moving chicanes" you might have to avoid though...

A couple of my SM buddies from Maine went up and raced with these guys and had an absolute blast. The track is tight with lots of elevation changes. The hospitality was great and I heard they were looking to start something with SMs.

Bruce, PM me if you've got guys looking for cars to buy. I may have a source.
