I don't really get the point of track days, but if that's your thing. Why not. I (A)sume the SCCA knows how to put on a decent event.

(In my best infomercial voice impersonation)

Do you want to do a track day? Do you have evenings free?

Juice just doesn't seem worth the squeeze. Just too much risk for no upside Miata or not.

I forgot my first track event that I did with NASA at Sears point. It was scary as hell driving my daily driver A4 with a bunch of people driving lemons type cars. There were a bunch of crashes.

After that I just started doing BMW clubs event only and it was a lot safer. I would still recommend dedicated track insurance for high cost cars.

It doesn't help that tracks around here all have walls, and trees, and suicidal deer lurking in the shadows.
