Flyin' Miata : Open Track Challenge

The OTC is an endurance-style time trial event that hops from track to track throughout the west coast over a week. Teams will lap a track with a transponder on their car until they're happy or time is up, then move on to the next. The fastest 3 laps count. Simple. Flyin' Miata took part in the inaugural 2002 event, and we're going back for 2003.

For those who missed it the first time, here's the article that appeared in Grassroots Motorsports about Flyin' Miata's 2002 OTC race. Sept 2002.

We built the Flyin' Miata "Track Dog" for this event. It's our first dedicated track car. It's pretty quick.
