Flyin' Miata : Summer Camp

The Summer Camp has come a long way since the first Open House in 1998, where Bill flipped burgers in the backyard for a small gathering. Now it's a four-day production with something for everyone.

You don't even need a Miata to come. We welcome all fun cars.

The event takes place from August 4-7 in Grand Junction, Colorado. If you'd like to register, please give us a call!

Information for participants

Who's coming?

Track information
We're back at Grand Junction Motor Speedway again to give our customers a shot at stretching the limits of their cars. All levels of driving skill are welcome, from novice to national champion.

Ground School
This will be an introduction to track driving aimed primarily at novices, but drivers who have never seen our track may find it useful.

Hotel information
We're back at the Main Street Suites again. We have a big block of rooms reserved for Miata owners, so book now to take advantage of the special $99/night price!

Ladies Choice
Back by popular demand, we have girly things to do to help offset the testosterone of all the track driving and horsepower talk. Massage, facials, manicures - it'll keep everyone happy.

How do I get to...well, anything?
