If anyone is interested in trying autocross, come to the Renegade Miata Club autocross event on Saturday, August 2nd. I'll be there!
If you have never tried autocross, this is a great opportunity to do so! You will be driving at your car's limits and tossing it around and sliding it and what not. The courses are about a minute and a half long and these are pretty intense seconds! All novices welcome!
Day-of-event prices are: $35 if you a Renegade Miata club member, $40 if you are a member of Mass Miata Club, North Country Porsche Club, SCCA or Boston BMWCCA.
For your first event, if you want to try it, you don't have to become a member of any of the clubs. You can just pay the $40 "other club member" price on 8/2. If you like it and want to come to your 2nd event, you'll have to become a member somewhere.
Renegade Miata club is open for membership to all Mazdas. $25/yr and you can sign up on the spot.
There will be instructors to ride with you (the entire time, if you like). The instructors are awesome and you will learn a ton and improve a ton during the day. Loaner helmets are available.

The event is located at near Ayer, MA, directions are in the link above.
Your car must be free of loose stuff, leave anything that's not bolted down at home. Bring sunscreen.
It's an all day event, gates opening at 7am and the event going until about 4:30pm. If you get there for 7:30-7:40am, chances are pretty good that you will get in easily without pre-registration.
You will get at least 6 runs, though 7 or 8 are more likely. Last time I went, I got 6 timed runs and 3 timed fun runs.
These events are a blast and you really learn a lot about how to control your car. Feel free to ask any questions.
