Summer Camp

Back in 1998, Bill Cardell threw a BBQ to thank local Flyin' Miata customers for their business. Over the years, the event grew and grew. Track days, dyno runs, ridealongs, autocrosses, multi-day tours, scenic drives, technical seminars, Q&A sessions, car shows - and of course, food. But the one constant was the purpose, to thank our customers. We've had people come from all over the world to attend along with various special guests. For 2024, we have Norman Garrett joining us.

The return of the track was so popular last year that we're doubling down. That's right, we'll have two track days available on the 13th and 14th. Due to the nature of our track and how we run our events, roll bars are not required.
Track details

Other than the track, participants can expect fun local drives, gorgeous scenery, tech seminars, new product demos, interesting people, good food, a car show and a chance to just simply hang out. 

For those who can't make the drive to our world HQ, we'll have our virtual car show to go along with the in-person one as well as frequent webcasts that will let you take part in the talks. 

Registration for the 2024 event is open now. There are a limit to the number of track slots available, but there are no limitations on any other event.
