Doing a quick scan thru the pre-registered list their seems to be an equal amount of miate from the Sarasota area as there are from the Tampa area. Would anyone be interested in a little side bet for bragging rights between Sarasota Miatas and ESTBM clubs? A twist on the Tampa v. Orlando meet concept.

Scoring:
I propose that we add up the finishing points that each car earns in its respective class and then do a total for each club. Club with the highest number wins braggin rights. The amount of cars for each team (club) would have to be equal also.

Signing up:
Since I don't want to this to effect the actual event, I'll ask people if they are in while I am teching their cars.

Anyone interested or should I drop it?

I'll take a piece of that action... I think.

Not that I have a miata, but dare I ask what ESTBM is? Just a shot in the dark... "East Side Tampa Bay Miatas"?

I realize the club has gone through various changes/ affiliations prior to my involvement, but is this the predecessor to the now current "FAST"?

You're really close, and actually, Ryan got the acronym wrong.

ESMTB = East Side Miatas of Tampa Bay.

No, it's not the same club that FAST grew from, that was the SunRiders Miata Club. You'll notice that there aren't a lot of active SunRiders members involved in autocrossing any more... that's the big reason that we separated from them.

I'll definitely take a piece of that. We have Steve...no one has more experience driving Miatas backwards at autocrosses! And technically, we can claim Bill Flowers as well -- at the Sept event, we threatened to paint an arrow on his hood marked "This end in direction of travel".... With that talent, how can the East-Siders lose?!

You can count me and Kim in on that action...

I just want to know what we get when we win

I'll play, too...

Please leave the timing lights out of it this time

Count me in. They are going down

ryyyyannnnn....ryyyyannnnnn.....ryyyyaannnnnn

I'm going to ride shotgun in your car Steve and poke you with a stick during every run.

I am willing to be on Team ESMTB, if they'll have me.

I'm Randy Young if you need my name

I think you qualify, Randy.

I (Ryan) have no (Ryan) comment (Ryan).

With the talent I demonstrated in September I figure I'll be a shoo-in for the Gymkhana since we have to drive both ways for it.
