Spec Miata - New Class and Rules

[GTcalgary]

We are very excited that Spec Miata has been officially recognized as a new Road Racing car class within the WCMA!  Thanks to all who helped make it possible! 

Rules for the class submitted for inclusion in the soon to be updated 2013 WCMA Competition Rules are as follows:

"Spec Miata. This class shall run under the most current Oregon Region SCCA rules, except if the spec tire changes, the previous season's spec tire will remain legal for the following race season."  Temporary Rule for 2013 only, "Spec Miata. Competitors may continue to use existing Toyo RA1, Toyo RR, or Toyo R888, in size 205/50 15 for the 2013 season only."

For reference:
·         The Oregon Region SCCA rules can be found here:  http://www.oregonscca.com/media-library/documents/roadrace/2013/2013generalsupps02-12-13.pdf  The only variance to the National SCCA Spec Miata rules are the tires chosen for regional use.  On page 6 of their rules it states: "Spec Miata Regional (SM): Regional SM entries shall use the SM National tires Hoosier SM6 (dry) and Hoosier H2O (wet). Size for all tires shall be limited to 205/50-R15. SM entries shall otherwise follow all GCR rules pertaining to SM preparation."
