6 Days Until the Hunt Begins

We are asked to clarify what goes on during the event often enough that we would like to answer a few common questions.

What kind of events are there?
All types. Social ones like the annual Beer Swap/Wine Tasting, the raffle, hanging out in the vendor area to various pre-planned driving events foe everyone. Check the Events forum leading up to MATG and the whiteboard at the Registration tent for any updates.

Seems like a lot going on, what does this cost?
Nothing. It’s completely free to attend. The length of your stay is up to you. The only costs are for food, lodging and gas.

If this is free, and it’s not organized, why do I have to register?
You don’t, but we appreciate it if you do so at our tent. This just allows us to count approximate attendance. On average, we have about 500 registered Miatas and around 15-20% who don’t register but filter in and out throughout the weekend. Also, if you register, you get a free dash plaque and we toss in swag from vendors, supporters and the local area when we can.

I don’t see a place to register on the website/forum…
There isn’t one, Registration is done in person starting Friday morning at the Registration tent. You can also purchase event t-shirts and raffle tickets here and find a schedule of events.

8 Days to Go!!!

One of the most common questions about the event is what to bring along for your weekend of enjoyment on the wonderful roads and at the events we have going on. While we are all a bit different (we do drive Miatas…) a pretty simple list to start with is:

Folding or Camp Chair
Sunscreen
Towel
Umbrella
Jacket (It can get chilly at night, especially if you’re on top of the mountains
Comfy Shoes
FRS/GMRS radio (most people use Channel 5 to communicate)
Maps/GPS units
Beer or Wine (for the Saturday Night Beer Swap and Wine Tasting)
Cash (Fontana does not have an ATM, the nearest is in Robbinsville)
Hat
Water
Camera
GoPro or other video camera
Epi Pen and other medications
Bug spray

And please stop by our free registration table and get your goody bag at Fontana Village. Event t-shirts will be available for purchase as well

17 Days until MATG 21!

With only 17 days left until Miatas At The Gap XXI we’d like to remind you all of the great organized rides and runs that happen during MATG weekend. You can find the schedule at www.gapmiatas.com and also at the event by the registration tent or General Store in Fontana Village.

The annual opening event for MATG is the Thursday Night Sunset Run. A group drives from Fontana Village, across the Cherohala Skyway to view the sunset from a breathtaking overlook. As a special treat, a jaunt down to Tellico Beach Drive-in for fries and milkshakes.

26 days left until MATG 2017!

If you haven’t bought one in the past or this is your first trip, this year will be a great chance to pick up one of our event T-shirts.  As always, they will be available at the registration tent.

For the long-time attendees: how many years worth of shirts do you still have?

There are only 28 days until MATG XXI!!!

The time is almost upon us. In 28 days we start MATG 2017!

Today we are going to take a look at a brand new vendor with a brand new product for Miatas, MX5 Digital. James and the crew offer a full digital replacement for your analog Miata gauges.

Enthusiasts are all about obtaining the perfect look for their car. MX5 Digital is a company created by fellow enthusiasts that aims to provide a new and unique option in the Miata market. The digital cluster accurately reads speed, RPM’s, fuel, pressure, and temperature. It is a great aesthetic upgrade project for the beginner and for the veteran.

So, check out their work in person at the Miatas at the Gap vendors area, on their website at http://www.mx5digital.com, or on their Facebook page.
