i know the guy who started stellar auto, he's a good dude.

 

I want to go to this!

 

Reminder that this event is coming up this weekend. Weather is looking good for it also.

Erik and I will be there Sat and Sun. Erik will be doing the road course Saturday, so come on down and hang out with us!

 

This event is COMPLETE! I will say it was a major blast even though I got horribly sunburnt

I have lots of pictures and some video I will put up this week for others to check out. Stay tuned

 

Everyone who missed this event missed out on what is quite possible the most fun a person can have. Maybe I'm just too new to the scene, but it was the COOLEST thing I'd ever been to.

 

Pictures of this event are now up in the Gallery!

Yes, there are alot of Gray Miata pics, but what can I say, that's my Husband
