If you have a racy Mazda and want to do an ungodly number of laps around Willow Springs for free ... MazFest needs you: http://www.mazfest.com/home.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

(Jeff Stuart ... this means you!)

Karen did this last year just using our regular Mazda ... and had a blast giving rides. The riders were thrilled.

Free? Looks like $110 to me (though arguably still a good price)

That video is private.

You only pay the $10 Willow Springs track entry, other wise Ride Along drivers have free entry

I assume Miatas either have to have a roll-bar or a hardtop, yes? Also, who is it that are getting the ride alongs? If it was mentioned in the brochure, I missed it.

Mi Mako, you've made a bunch of posts since this question... but have not addressed it yet? Do you know the answer? Sounds like fun!
