Dave Wheeler, you are a special man. At the core of your existence is a man whose personal mission is to help others. And by following this mission you unintentionally created a business that supports you. Knowing you, I know you did not start out the make money from racing, it is just that by helping others, the business came your way, and for that, we as drivers in Spec Miata, thank the day that you chose to make Spec Miata the class where you would offer your services.

 

Dave - so very proud of you for the Award, so richly deserved. What you have done for our class will never be forgotten - thanks for everything you do for us! Ann must be s very proud too!

Congrats to the OPM team.

 

But there are those that have gone above and beyond in their backing of Spec Miata. Tom Fowler, owner of OPM Autosports with his wife, Tracy, is one of those people, and for supporting the class and its competitors from the beginning with both integrity and a continuous desire to improve, he is this month's recipient of the Spirit of Mazda award.

1st of all congrats to Tom, I'm sure it's well deserved.

 

I'm just asking because I didn't know it was a monthly event.

Dave's was about 30 days ago, he doesn't have dust on his award yet.

 

If this is this month's Spirit of Mazda, fine.

I was just not aware.

There is no more deserving driver! Class of the West hands down! Even when he kicks your ass it's hard not to like the guy!

Great run this year Mark! You have not lost a race...and that's a lot of races!

I will predict now that if Mark runs the new cars next year in MX5 cup...he will win the series!!

Didn't he crash with Matt 3/15?

Are points current? Matt is leading ??

But I digress.

He's doing MX5 cup? Sweet !!
Does Mark get $100k for West and $100k for East Champs? :)
