E Stock it is then, this winter i will be making the Miata auto x ready (I will probably have a lot of questions on setup since I'm new to the Miata world). I will be renewing my SCCA membership with cal club region, I'm curios on how do i make a decision on witch club to be with? is it depending on where i live or just preference?
Again thanks for all the help so far,

Actually, we made it so your first year with CalClub you don't have to choose a club yet. You can be "No Club" and attend events to see which club's members you mesh best with, then make an informed decision next year.

This, of course, was Max's situation. As you can see, he's CASOC.

If you think you'll be running with us all year (or at least more than 2-3 events), you should probably get a points card. That lets you keep a permanent number (rather than a random 600-699 number) and compile points toward the year-end championship in your class. It's not necessary, though. To get a points card, go here: http://www.solo2.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and click on the link on the righthand side of the page.

Our first event, Jan. 26-27, should be posted on the forums shortly. When it is, just follow the instructions, register and show up. If you run into any problems or questions you can either post something here or email me directly krahn at solo2 dot com. BTW, there are some good novice resources on the solo2.com site.
