We are doing a soft launch Tuesday to Friday (May 7th to 10th) 2:00 pm to 10 pm, walk in only. Come and try out the sims before anybody else

Thank you so much for your detailed reply, it is exactly the info I needed before buying wheels, tires and exhaust.  I have no interest in any SCCA official events, this is just a hobby for me and I want to keep legal but get the best setup I can for the car and stay ES. 205/50/15 is what I was planning, just wasn't sure what wheel width to buy. Thank you again for the guidance, it's greatly appreciated. Cheers

I believe the follow paragraph from page 74 of the 2024 SCCA Solo Rulebook applies to your question regarding the exhaust: Option package conversions may be performed between specific vehicles of a particular make and model, but only between configurations from within a particular model year. Such conversions must be totally complete and the resultant car must meet all requirements of this Section. These re- quirements are not met by simply pulling a fuse to disable a feature which distinguishes one model from another.   I believe this would be considered legal, however everything else about the California modification would need to be converted back to 49 State car.  This would be to follow the rules as written by the SCCA, however locally if you discussed some fellow local WSCC stock class competitors about only swapping the exhaust I don't think you would have any problems as there likely no performance gain from missing out on removing additiional California specific items, unique EGR, maybe? There's nothing in our local rules that would restrict US cars from competition either, however if you planned to run at an offical national SCCA event this could be a problem, hope that helps. Regarding the wheels, your wheels are based on what the car originally came with from Mazda. For example if a 2000 Miata Sport (not sure which model you have) came with 14x6 +42mm offset. You could run a 13x6, 14x6 or 15x6 wheel. Offset can be +/- 7mm from the OEM size as well to accommodate some wheel models. Wheel width however cannot change from the originals wheels the car sold with new.  You cannot pick and choose from any other Miata year or model to select a wheel size.  15x6 with 205/50/15 tires is like the most cost effective, best performing and most common wheel setup available for ES Miatas that came with 14x6, 15x6 or 16x6 wheels. Regarding the 110-178hp Miatas on 14 to 17" wheels comment all running in the same class. SCCA car classing offers every car a class to participate, this however does not guarantee all cars will be competitive in their respective class.   Hope that helps!

Hey man I’m not rubbing anything in anyone’s faces here. This is nothing new. There’s a concept within the club that “there’s always bigger problems” which is true, but the few key people who keep giving more and more are getting stretched thinner and thinner.

These WSCC video's from 7 plus years ago are quite good and might interest recent members who've not seen them.  I couldn't figure out how to add them to the gallery, so here is the link: https://vimeo.com/208161277 https://vimeo.com/51653013 https://vimeo.com/36112681 https://vimeo.com/36102388 https://vimeo.com/62367058 https://vimeo.com/176476555  

Come back and help so we can be miserable together, but please don't rub it in our faces. This one hurt to see.   

Not only for the volunteers of event days but the directors who spend countless hours holding everything together.   Our model is broken and has been for a while. Every year we try bringing benefits to volunteers and directors is seems to fall on deaf ears.   How’s that working out…

Not sure exactly what the joke is all about - I guess a person must have been watching some kind of a TV show to understand this... However, I do get the message and I agree with it. Changes will be forthcoming!        

Lol. Well… said. I hear. The voice. Clearly in my head. 

I think. In the future. This needs to be. A reimbursement. For those that can manage. To complete. A full weekend. Of volunteer work. And not leave. Organizers. Scrambling. 

A couple of us would have been there as always, but it was a track weekend!

Nik, you’re not alone as I did not know about this until Sunday afternoon.  Id have taken my son to this also     

Whoa there, Slowdriver!  Don't diss our Admins! ...Although, I suppose that is one way to get your account deleted

How can it be that this is the first I've heard of this?  I definitely would have been interested in taking a gander!  Next time, perhaps

Thanks Rob,  I was hoping @Magner would see this and jump in with his wisdom. I'll standby for a reply. Cheers

I believe so. We can also double check with @Magner who is always super helpful when it comes to classing details.

I attended for my first time this weekend.  I really liked it.  High quality cars, lots of variety, local, and relatable.  I don't really go for the glitz, glamour, and celebrity of World of Wheels.  So, this hit the right mark for me.  I suppose if you've attended a few of these, because its local, the cars may be repeats but for me it was a real pleasure. Congratulations to Manitoba Street Rod Association for putting on a good show for a good cause (Childrens Rehab).  If you've never been, I'd encourage you to attend and support a local car club.   Found a video about the event...  

Read our constitution and maybe you’ll understand.  

I deleted the video.  If you want to brag with your immaturity, do it on Kindergarten forums, not here. If you want everybody to see this video, I will ensure that also the police will watch it. I still have it stored.   I can also delete your forum account if you need help with that.   Roland Hufgard Time Attack Director

How do I delete my forum account? I can't find that option.

I don't know but it seems the slow admin in here are insecure about my spirited driving video that he chose to delete my post without warning. You're lying if you tell me you've never driven fast in the streets before, hypocrite.

I dunno but years ago we had some trolls on here that loved to criticize and badger other users. This forum used to be very active

Hi everyone, I am just about to embark on my autocross journey and have just bought a 2000 Miata (NB) MX-5 to use. I just discovered it was brought into Canada from California sometime in it's life so it has 2 CATS, one at the header and one in the main pipe, in it's normal single CAT system location. Currently the car is bone stock and is class E as far as I can tell. Will it stay class E if I put the exhaust back to Canadian and Federal 49 state exhaust standards? i.e. plain exhaust manifold from an NB car and the original CAT in the mid pipe? Thank you PS I couldn't find anything in the 400 pages of SCCA rules that talk about changing California cars back to Federal 49. PPS Might as well ask about wheels while I'm learning...I see all Miatas from 1990-2005 are classed ES, in stock form, even though HP ranges from 110-178 and suspension and so much else changes in that 15 year spread, not sure how that works or is fair, but for me shopping for new wheels and tires I need to know what is legal to remain in stock ES? The wheel sizes in the range of dates for Miata ES is 14x5 up to 17x7.  Does this mean I can run anything in that range, plus go up/down 1" in diameter which is allowed anyway? So if I wanted to use a 15x7, it should be allowed? So much to learn. thx

Sims have arrived and are being assembled right now. We will start with Assetto Corsa and have already downloaded the Gimli track for those who want a little practice. I'll let you know when we have a solid start date
