So this purchase came to me as more of a impulse buy, but for so many reasons which I wont go into explaining, it is a very smart buy also.
I planned on running in NASA’s and/or SCCA’s Spec Miata series next year but after receiving the advisement from a lot of members on here in via this thread ( http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57452&highlight=spec+miata ) I decided it was best if I held off the purchase until I had a lot more HPDE’s under my belt and knew for sure that I wanted to run in this class.
The problem was that before I even made the above thread, I made a WTB thread on specmiata.com looking for a fully built or close to fully built SM at a low cost.
The car below was the first car that was brought to my attention, and all my decisions of not buying till spring were thrown on the backburner due to the deal I got for this car coupled with the quality and condition it is in. I paid around half of the value of the car, the seller was some wealthy guy who lived in Bumfuksville Michigan who dint wanna store the car for the winter.
So this Saturday I grabbed a Uhaul trailer and made my way out to The most North Western part of Michigan to grab this steal of a car. She has only ran one race season and won 1st place in the GLD regional. Here she is… (see bottom of thread for specs)
