This and oloa are my car bucket list items.
Want to spend a few days with some really fast roadsters? Flyin’ Miata’s summer camp program includes track time, a car show, tours of their shop, expert presentations and much more. If you’re into Mazda’s roadster, this is the place to celebrate them. They just announced dates of their 2018 program: June 21-23. They say the track time sells out fast, so those interested should sign up early.
Not going to have the Molvo ready for 2018, but next one should be a possibility. Plus I should be self-unemployed by then so will have a bit of time.
I've been a few times in the past. Alas, this year's revised schedule falls on my wedding anniversary. :)
Thanks for the pitch, guys!
Registration will open on February 1st. And that Caterham SV in the picture is rocking a turbo Miata drivetrain, in case anyone's wondering.
And here I was just wondering about popping in on them on a random Tuesday in January. I clearly need to plan my trips better.
Also a good option, as the FM staff will have a lot more time to talk to you! Summer Camp is busy.
However, the track time, the presentations and the food may not be present in January.
The track time is restricted to Miatas, but everything else is wide open. All of us at FM are car nuts, not just Miata nuts, and we love to see interesting stuff.
The only reason we restrict the track time is because we don't have enough slots for all the Miata customers even without Brand X cars taking some of those slots.
Going back to that first picture again - it's a few years old, probably taken by Tom Heath when he joined us in 2010 or so. The driver of the white (supercharged) Miata in the pic has sold that car and is now rocking a turbo Exocet. If you come out to the track day, he will be faster than you. The Caterham has also been sold and that owner is now driving a turbo ND.
Hmmmmm. I was going to bring Betty back up for this but I'll be in Iceland a week later. I'll have to see if I can make both.
