Still Looking For A Place To Stay?

While we are proud to note that Fontana Village Resort is entirely sold out to us for Miatas at the Gap this year, there are still other lodgings available in the area if you still have not found a place to stay for the weekend. We have a list compiled on our website at https://gapmiatas.com/Lodging. Also be sure to check for the array of AirBnB and VBRO options in the area.

Hope to see you there!

Though Miatas at the Gap this year set records for attendees, it may have set another record. Several times during the weekend, cars could be found with hoods up or even up on lifts for emergency field repairs. Though most keep up with regular maintenance, hood-up moments and shade-tree escapades will probably become more common as the age of the fleet continues to surpass the age of its youngest drivers.

Did you have to work on your car on location this year? What all went wrong? Were you able to get the car home under its own power? Share your story (and, if you still need anything, let us know)!

FOUR. DAYS. TO. GO.

Four days, folks.  Four days is all that’s left until Miatas at the Gap XXIII!

Today’s post is about JSpec Parts, a new vendor to the Miata community.  Starting at the beginning of 2019, they began selling full splitters, side skirts, wiper panels, and more for Miatas. Stop by and have a look at what they’ve got!

8 Days to Go – Let’s Talk about SNS Mazda Parts

Alex Todd is returning with SNS Mazda Parts this year.  He always brings an excellent selection of used replacement parts as well as some rare and imported pieces.  He should be well-stocked for this year!  Be sure you make time to wander through the SNS Mazda Parts booth and check out all the cool items for your Miata.

9 Days to Go and Paco Motorsports

Paco Moto will be in the house again this year and Mark is bringing some great upgrades and accessories. From chassis stiffening to audio upgrades and a 3″ lift kit, Paco offers a little bit of everything. Make sure you check out all their offerings in the Vendor’s Area! They are also going to be contributing to the raffle, so make sure you pick up a ticket (or two…)!

Breaking News – Get ‘Em While They Last!

We are pleased to announce that Moss Motors has created a limited run of laser-etched shift knobs commemorating this year’s Miatas at the Gap event. They will be available for sale only at their tent at this year’s event. Get one while supplies last!

Bonus: here’s a small behind-the-scenes video of the knobs being etched!

Run What Ya Brung!

Bryan Wyatt and The Tick

We’re all proud of the rides we bring to Miatas at the Gap.  Some of us have even had to bring their OTM’s.  Either way, we’re just glad to see everyone come back year after year.  It’s the people that make Miatas at the Gap what it is, after all!

That said: there are some of us who are attached enough to our cars that we’ve given them names.  The Tick is Bryan Wyatt’s 2002 Laser Blue which is a little bit harlequin after its unfortunate 2017 shunt.  Thanks to various members of the Miata community, Bryan and The Tick were able to attend The Tick’s 10th MATG event in 2018 and will be making it to this year’s event.  If you happen to see Bryan, ask about signing The Tick’s (currently) white fender!

Introduce us to your ride!
