Welcome to SNAIL’s newest Monday Mayhem event!
This is something Wolfsatz and I have been working on for a little while. Our plan is to have a casual, well organized event highlighting a particular car. Think of it as a celebration of that car’s history. We will release a full schedule soon but plan on this being a weekly or bi-weekly event.
Here’s the run down:
On scheduled Mondays, we pick a car to drive, for our grand opening the Mazda Miata, and we will drive several of its variations and generations. We will have 3 races on 3 different tracks with 3 different cars and finish off with a cruise and photo shoot. Each race will have a 10 minute qualifying session just like our normal Sunday night races. The races will be run with boost on the low setting to promote a less serious SNAIL event with closer racing. We have discussed different prizes for the racing but haven't come to a conclusion yet; don't worry, our intention is to give prizes out. If people don't have a certain car, they are more than welcome to use a comparable car with the same PP; I'm not picky as long as everyone is having fun. Our cruise would take place on a custom Toscana track. At the end of the cruise, we would line everyone up so we could get a picture of everyone’s favorite Miata.
Our first event will take place this coming Monday (1/28/2013) and will feature the Mazda Miata. These are abundant in the UCD and NCD. Here is the plan for our grand opening:
Race 1 – Tsukuba Circuit
Vehicle - 1st Generation Mazda Miata "Pre 1998" (No Roadster TC)
PP Limit - 320
Tire - Sports Hard
Race 2 - Grand Valley
Vehicle - Any Year Mazda Miata - Tuned
PP Limit – 400
Tire - Sports Hard
Race 3 – Suzuka Circuit
Vehicle - Mazda Miata TC or Mazda Miata Tuned
PP Limit - 440
Tire - Sports Hard
30 Minute Cruise / Photo Shoot
Pick your favorite Miata (Any tuning, Any generation)
Typical cruise rules
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. It would also help me immensely if everyone could give me an idea if they would or wouldn’t be interested in this event.
I also forgot to mention, for race 2 and 3, we are allowing tuning. This means do whatever you want to the car. My recomendation is to use "bolt on" parts and purchase a Fixed Sports suspension. Since we are using boost, the field will end up close even if someone slaves over their setup; it's not worth the effort. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you can't use the fully customizable kit or adjust the gearing, just remember this is a CASUAL event. Hopefully this makes a little more sense.
Prizes will be awarded for the driver that qualifies first for each race. The prize winners will be given a choice of a paint chip from our list. The list will be posted soon but there are several Color Shift, Matte, and Chrome chips to choose from. Also if the winner has a specific chip in mind that we don't have, I will do my best to get one.

I think you do not need to worry about being in a new division unless we create one for people who are incredibly fast yet talk like they are really slow
I felt the Ikea thing was played out...time to move on
