Connie has already sent out info about the 2019 Miatas at Hallett. Only now it appears that the name will need to be changed. Maybe something like "Somewhat Miata-ish Cars at Hallett" would be appropriate. Her email below states she has already approved a few non-Miatas, including S2000, FR-S, and WRX-STI. (Note those are all higher horsepower than a Miata.)
I'm disappointed that it's no longer going to be an exclusive Miata event. I think it will make it harder to attract Miata-driving first-timer track newbies to the event. On the other hand, it will open up a fun event to a number of our fellow autocross and track friends who drive "Miata-ish" cars that Connie approves.
I'm also concerned that the event might get too crowded. I don't know how many cars can run simultaneously in a run group there before excessive traffic becomes an issue. If you can't get a few good laps in per session without having to deal with traffic, it takes a lot of the fun out of it.
What do y'all think about it?

WOW! Miatas@Hallett #16 was awesome.
Mark your calendars for Miatas @Hallett #17 Sept 6 & 7, 2019
Are YOU planning to be a part of this Miata celebration? Online registration opens March 1st Be sure to update your info when you register; you can order everything online except if you want a raceport, email [email protected] (see contest below)
For a room at the Hampton Inn, I recommend you call 918-245-8500 and ask for Liz (who works Mon – Fri 7 to 3) That way you will be certain to get the Hallett discounted rate.
Remember the good times we had last September http://www.hallettfotoshoppe.com/Miatas2018/
Tell your compadres who have Miata-ish cars they are invited to join us this year. They can just send me an email with a description of their cars and I will let them know if they are suitable for our event. I already approved a few coming with a Miata group from CO (S2000, FR-S, STI).
BTW, Did you know Miatas@Hallett drivers the past two years came from 11 states?
The first three to name all (the states, not the drivers!) will get a discount on a raceport. Email your list today! [email protected]
