Don't look...there's nothing down here for you!
Wonder if the Hooters stickers had anything to do with that divorce?
Nope. Rogue is going to fix it.
First off I never said I was logical!
I mentioned that "My hopes are to one day make it a dedicated track car." If I did get a dedicated track car the plans would also include at least monthly DE events.
This will likely be no time soon so for now, the car will be basic transportation as my other Miata gets fixed.
"So how many times a year do you go to the track that you need a dedicated track car? Hell I'm a member at MSR and I don't need a dedicated track car. Just trying to understand your logic.

So the guy with 4 project cars (Not to mention a supercharged ford ranger) decides to call out a fellow forum member with only one and perhaps two projects down the road?

I learned this the hard way.....
Take all of your valuables out of your car at night. This includes taking the mounting hardware off of your windshield or dash and hiding the power supplies. I lost over $ 1,000 to a thief with no hope of recovering my items and to top if off they smashed my window in the rain and my truck got soaked. Let my loss be your learning experience.

Track only or track mainly?
If I had another car I'd consider making mine less street friendly (my def.), no top, mostly gutted interior, NT01s, stiffer springs and door bars.
Track only would mean I had a membership and some extra ching dow.

Logic has no place when you are deep in the AMOK for another Miata. Live long and prosper William.

If he was calling him out on PROJECT cars, I'd agree with you. Otherwise, his fleet kinda supports his point.
Not taking sides on this one, though...
Glad you seem to be amused, but I fail to see your point. Yes I have project cars and they all run and I could take each and every one of them to the track if I wanted to (maybe not the truck) and they each have their pros and cons. Obviously you are to dense to see the question that I raised, and that I was just trying to understand what the logic behind his decision was. I stand by my original post based on the information provided at the time in that a dedicated track car is not needed until you are spending lots of time at the track.

OK guys... wait... If you are going to get in whether he NEEDS a dedicated track car... you're opening yourself up to some trouble. Do we really NEED many of the things we have?
It's simply a case where he wants one... period...
Have fun building it up BR!

To me a track car isn't a need at all, but more of a financial decision if you decide that's a hobby you want to pursue. I.E. I don't need a track car, heck the Elise would be insanely fun but I honestly can't afford to put it in to a wall and walk away so buying a $2K Miata track car is probably a good idea. Just my 2 cents.
P.S. if anyone sees a decent running Miata around that price range let me know.
