General Announcements / 2025 WCMA Spec Miata Champions...
Last post by Richard Dekker - November 06, 2025, 02:02:08 PMNovember 2025 — The Western Canada Motorsport Association (WCMA) is very pleased to provide the 2025 Spec Miata Championship results for the Mazda Canada Inc. (MCI) 2025 Spec Miata Contingency Program.
The summer racing season concluded with a demanding six-race-event season. Thirty-one points races plus one exhibition race were contested on Alberta's two race tracks over four weekend events at RAD Torque Raceway (RTR) south of Edmonton as hosted by the Northern Alberta Sports Car Club on June 21/22, July 26/27, August 23/24, and September 20/21 plus one weekend event and a single-day event at Rocky Mountain Motorsports Park (RMM) north of Calgary as hosted by the Alberta Race Car Association on July 5/6 and September 6.
Mazda Canada Inc.'s Spec Miata Contingency Program, in its third year supporting WCMA, is set to pay out $5,000 in total to the up to the top 10 eligible drivers in the 2025 WCMA Spec Miata championship, with the winner receiving $1,200, second $1,000, third $800, decreasing on down to 10th receiving $100. To be eligible, competitors must have finished a minimum of 50 percent of the season's individual races with this year's threshold being 16 races out of the season's 31, posing a significant increase over the 2023 and 2024 seasons at 24 and 21 races respectively. At its conclusion, four competitors accumulated sufficient chequered flags by the season finale to be eligible for the Contingency Program funds.
We congratulate the 2025 WCMA Spec Miata Champion Steve Begg, runner up Juston Kewin, and third place Mark Burrough. Begg, of Strathcona County, AB, finished 30 races, amassing 1625 points in his #56 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Kewin, of Fort St. John, BC, finished 30 races with 1452 points in his #505 1996 Miata, and was awarded the WCMA Rookie of the Year award. Series veteran Burrough, of Edmonton, AB, completed all 31 points races with 1385 points in his #18 1990 Miata. Wild Rose Miata Club member Burrough is one of the three founding drivers of the WCMA Spec Miata class from 2012. Additionally, 15-year-old Clayton Sherman, of Calgary, AB, finished fourth with 780 points, collected in 17 race finishes in his #35 1999 Miata, and is the last driver eligible for the Spec Miata Contingency Program's support.
In total, 11 drivers contested the 2025 WCMA Spec Miata series. Several drivers had individual race wins, but the season came down to consistency. Outside of the four drivers eligible for the Spec Miata Contingency Program, five drivers concluded the season with 10 race finishes, thus only one race weekend shy of being eligible, proving how grueling the long 2025 season was, as many competitors were unable to enter enough events due to financial or time constraints. WCMA has recognized these challenges and will be fielding a less hectic schedule for 2026. The trophies and 2025 Spec Miata Championship title were presented at the WCMA annual general meeting on October 18 in Calgary, Alberta.

Spec Miata, comprised of the first two generations of Mazda MX-5 Miata (NA and NB), is the most popular road racing class in the world. It's very affordable and highly competitive throughout the entire field, offering many opportunities to grow the driver's speed and racecraft. Between the various sanctioning bodies and series in Canada and the USA, there is not a more raced car in all its four generations than the Mazda MX-5 Miata.
One of the oldest retailed Miatas, VIN 108 (which makes it the 19th Miata to be retailed from new), originally sold in Winnipeg, MB in 1989, also races in Alberta in both Vintage and GT4 classes. Several other Miatas, all former Spec Miatas, run in GT4 class and in Endurance races. Combining RX-7s, RX-8s, MX-6s, and MX-5 Miatas, Mazdas occasionally account for half the field in a combined closed-wheel race in Alberta, in addition to Mazda-powered Formula Continental open-wheel racers.

General Announcements / 2025 WCMA Mazda Contingency Pr...
Last post by Sue Wilson - August 08, 2025, 03:49:08 PMAugust 2025 — On behalf of Mazda Canada Inc. (MCI), the Western Canada Motorsport Association (WCMA) is very pleased to provide a mid-season update on the 2025 Spec Miata series and the Spec Miata Contingency Program.
We are at the mid-point of an exciting six race event season as contested on Alberta's two race tracks, having completed two weekend events (five races each) at RAD Torque Raceway (RTR) south of Edmonton as hosted by the Northern Alberta Sports Car Club and one weekend event (six races) at Rocky Mountain Motorsports Park (RMM) north of Calgary as hosted by the Alberta Race Car Association. Remaining are two weekend events at RTR and a single day event at RMM.
Currently nine drivers are in the standings, with Rookie, Justin Kewin, from Fort St. John, British Columbia, leading the pack with his 1996 Miata at 781 points. Three series veterans returned this year after hiatuses, with Sherwood Park, Alberta's, Steve Begg, last seen in the series in 2021, is in second place with his 1990 Miata at 778 points. Consistent series regular, and one of the WCMA Spec Miata series' original three founding drivers from 2012, Mark Burrough, of Edmonton, is in third place in his 1990 Miata at 703 points. The 2024 champion, Zac Burke, is sixth at 350 points, while 2023 champion, Chris Saunders, is seventh at 300 points; both drivers amassing clean sweeps of the singular event weekend which they attended (six wins and five wins respectively). After missing 2024, the 2023 season's runner-up, Dan Shute, is currently fourth at 519 points. Father and son duo, Scott and Clayton Sherman, are ninth at 215 points and fifth at 369 points respectively, while another of the series' founding drivers, Robin Saunders, last seen in 2019, is eighth at 217 points. Missing at the mid-point of the season are several past season's drivers and it is hoped that they will yet make a showing between August and September.
Spec Miata competitors must finish a minimum of 50 percent of the season's individual races over the six race events to be eligible for the Contingency Program's awards at the conclusion of the 2025 season. The projected number of races for the 2025 season is 29 or 30—an increase over the 2023 and 2024 seasons at 24 and 21 races respectively—and yet the leading three drivers in the series have already qualified for the Contingency Program with 16 or 15 finishes to their credit.
MCI's Spec Miata Contingency Program, in its third year supporting WCMA, is set to pay out $5,000 in total to the top-10 eligible drivers in the 2025 Spec Miata championship, with the champion receiving $1,200, second place $1,000, third place $800, and decreasing down to 10th place receiving $100. All nine of the series' current drivers have the potential to be eligible by season finale on the weekend of September 20-21, when a new champion will be crowned.
