WHAT TO DO CHECKLIST
AFTER REGISTERING
- HOTELS/CAMPING
Reserve your accommodation ASAP! The official Event Hotel is Hampton Inn & Suites but rooms are likely to go quickly, so be sure to book early. Camping is also available. See camping options and prices.
- FIND FRIENDS
Want to form a caravan to the event with a group of friends? There will be groups forming from all over North America, including from Canada and Mexico. Check out Supporting Clubs & Organizations on the home page to connect with local Miata enthusiasts.
- LOADS OF FUN STUFF TO DO!
Check out all the other things you can do as part of the event, such as the Flyin’ Miata G-Force Challenge, Parade Laps, Group Photo, Moss Miata Car Show, Moss Miata Cruise and Saturday Banquet to get familiar with when, where, and how things will be happening so you don’t miss anything.
AT THE EVENT
- EARLY CHECK-IN
We STRONGLY recommend getting checked in on Friday, July 29th at the Event Hotel (Hampton Inn, Leeds.)
General Admission/Merchandise will be open all day Saturday and Sunday in Event Central at the track, but checking in on Friday eliminates time pressure. Your General Admission wristband also speeds up entry through the main gates at the track, as you can just show security your wristband for entry without having to stop to sign event waivers each time.
- SCHEDULES
During the weekend follow the Main Event Schedule and Hot Laps Schedule and you can’t go wrong.
FLYIN' MIATA G-FORCE CHALLENGE
Previous
Next
As always, our friends at Flyin’ Miata want to offer you a unique and memorable driving experience. This isn’t just some boring “slide around in a circle” drill, but a real challenge! Head for the Paddock Skid Pad to test yourself on the Flyin’ Miata G-Force Challenge, a tight skidpad with changing friction levels so it’s as much a test of your car control skills as of your Miata’s mechanical grip. You’ll get three timed laps and awards will be given for the fastest lap around the pad. Oh yeah, you’ll also get a computed G-Force reading!
TRACK DAYS PASSENGER
RIDE-ALONGS
- A unique Miata Reunion feature! Want to jump in the passenger seat a track-prepared Miata to experience truly high speed laps? Here's your chance!
- You MUST be registered and have signed all event waivers to get an event wristband to do any activities involving driving or riding on track as a passenger. THIS INCLUDES PARADE LAPS.
- If you want to go for a track ride, you must be wear an approved helmet. (Rentals available from Discovery Parts)
- For your safety we require closed-toe shoes and long pants, with common-sense coverage "on top" (no tank tops or crop tops, ideally long sleeves).
- You can get passenger rides in any group.
(NOTE: E (Novice) Group drivers must get instructor sign-off before giving passenger rides)
SATURDAY PARADE LAPS
- During the Saturday lunch break we'll offer Miatas Only Parade Laps, so you can drive your own Miata around the famous Barber race track.
- Miatas only on track please. Don’t have your Miata there? Now’s a good time to make a new friend and bum a ride in an empty seat.
- Speeds will be SLOW (that's why they're called Parade Laps) and will be closely monitored for everyone’s safety.
- There is no additional cost. It is included in your General Admission ticket.
- The only requirement is that you and your passenger each be registered with a wristband, and that you’re driving a Miata.
- There are no special safety regulations for parade laps beyond standard seat belts. Helmets and roll bars not required. Driver and passenger must be wearing their seat belts. Anyone driving too fast or in unsafe ways will be asked to leave the track.
- Our goal is to give everyone a chance to see the track in a safe way, and get a photo of you in your Miata on track, so please be considerate of others.
PARADE LAPS RULES
- No passing. Anywhere. Period.
- Max speed 40 mph. Everywhere.
- Do not stop on track for ANY reason – it’s super dangerous!!
- Do NOT slow down to open a gap so you can speed up for a corner. This causes an unsafe “accordion effect” for everyone behind you. Maintaining a constant speed will make it more enjoyable and safe for everyone, not just you.
- As you enter the track you will be guided to the left or right side by our team members, as there will be two staggered lines going around the track, side by side. Stay to your side while on track. This adds an extra margin of safety between you and the car in front of you while giving you a better view, and actually allows us to let more cars on track.
- At the end of Parade Laps, team members will direct you to safely exit the track to go back to the parking areas. Please keep cars moving , as we anticipate a huge number of cars and don’t want to hold things up with a traffic jam.
SATURDAY GROUP PHOTOS & VIDEO
We’ll be setting up a group photo and video of you on track during Parade Laps.
It will include still photos, aerial photography and video of the Parade Laps.
Miata Reunion Group Photos are included for free with your admission and will be posted on our Facebook page after the event.
The Parade Lap Video is also included with your General Admission and will be available via our YouTube channel (please subscribe via our YouTube link at bottom of this page). Watch the 2019 Parade Laps Video.

WHERE TO LINE UP
PARADE LAPS & GROUP PHOTO STAGING
We will publish instructions and a staging map prior to the event to guide you into the designated staging area to park before entering the track.
Once the signal is given, staff will direct you on track for the first lap, where you will then be directed to your spot to stop for the Group Photo. At this point get out of your car and stand by your door(s) so people can see your face in the photo.
As soon as the photo has been taken you’ll be released to continue with Parade Laps. We will be flying a drone to take video of you during Parade Laps.
At the end of Parade Laps team members will direct you to exit the track and enter the paddock, to go back to your parking areas.
Please don’t stop in the paddock, but proceed directly to the designated General Parking areas, as we anticipate a huge number of cars and don’t want to delay the event with a traffic jam in the paddock.
NOTE: Areas reserved on Saturday for the Car Show and Parade Laps Staging will revert to General Parking for the rest of the weekend, starting at 1pm.

CAR CONTROL CLINIC
by
Jzilla Track Days
- Jzilla is offering a professionally coached car control clinic at the Automotive Proving Grounds at Barber Motorsports Park. This is the very same facility used by Mercedes and Porsche for driver training. Unlike other events and schools where you are forced to drive their fleet of cars, JZilla has custom designed this for you to drive and learn in your own Miata! The Jzilla Car Control Clinic is organized and coached by 9 of the East Coast’s most notable Performance Driving Coaches, stunt drivers, and competitive racers.
Using their cumulative experience, Jzilla has assembled this exciting clinic composed of 4 discrete car control modules:
1. Learn how to proactively avoid understeer and oversteer on the Wet Skidpad.
2. Master proper techniques for maximizing lateral weight transfer on the Slalom course.
3. Understand how threshold braking really works in the Braking module.
4. Then put all of those skills together while practicing “String Theory” on the mini-circuit Autocross module!
This comprehensive course offers roughly 3.5 hours of valuable (and safe!) seat time.
Not sure what some of those skills and techniques are? No problem, that’s why we’re here. Each module is staffed with 2 professional coaches to instruct and improve your skills as you repeat each exercise.
ROLL BARS ARE NOT REQUIRED.
Entry fee: $220. Choose morning or afternoon session. (Register early - space limited to 40 drivers per session)
