20231111 093033 Edit

The Music City Miata Club is again organizing members to participate in the Tennessee Region SCCA Autocross events for the 2024 calendar year. 2024 is kicking off with a Test and Tune which will take place Saturday March 16th at the Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon TN.The “Test and Tune” is a non-points event that allows Drivers to make individual runs to “test” their cars and return to the Paddock and make adjustments (“Tune”) which isn’t possible during normal Points Events. You will have UNLIMITED number of Runs.  Grid will be open all day, drivers are free to drive at any time during open Grid hours (9:45am to 4:00pm).  All drivers will receive a work assignment for roughly one hour during the day in which they are not allowed to drive. The total number of entries will be capped at 90 so register early.The event costs $85 for SCCA Members and $100 for Non-SCCA Members and takes place on a large asphalt pad. There are generally no more than 2 cars on the course (separated by approximately 30 seconds) at a time. The course is laid out with orange traffic cones and the setup is unique for each event. The focus is on friendly competition and not speed – most of the course is spent in 1st and 2nd gear in a Miata.To participate, register online with the TRSCCA (link) and then bring your Miata, Snell 2010 or later certified helmet, sunscreen, a lunch and plenty of non-alcoholic refreshments and join us for a great time with our Miata’s in their natural habitat.Note: The TRSCCA has a limited number of loaner helmets available on a first come/first serve basis for those that wish to “try before you buy” a helmet.We will meet up at the entrance of Nashville Superspeedway at 7:15 and proceed to the paddock so we can park together as a group. Spectators are allowed but are required to sign a waiver to attend.As you will be signing waivers to participate, DO CHECK with your insurance agent as some policies do not cover damage to your car, liability and/or personal injury at or on a race track. Please email Devron_Steele@outlook.com by Friday March 15th if you plan to attend or if you need assistance with classifying your car. For more detailed information & FAQ, click HERELooking forward to a really fun day of driving driving driving!See you there!
