Flyin' Miata : The Open House

This is the 11th year of the FM Open House, and it's going to be bigger and better than ever. We've expanded it to four days in order to fit everything in. Assaults on the track record, ECU tuning classes, dyno tuning demonstrations, free food, a parade, great roads, sunny weather and stunning scenery. This year is also going to be the housewarming party for our new 22,000 square foot shop.

You don't even need a Miata to come. We welcome all fun cars.

The event takes place from August 14-17 in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Registration is open!
Give us a call and sign up for a great weekend.

Information for participants

Track information
With power/weight ratios soaring, we fully expect the track record to fall again this year. But even though the big guns will be battling the track, novices are welcome. The track is a perfect Miata venue and speeds are kept relatively low.

How do I get to...well, anything?

Hotel information - you can stay wherever you want, but we've booked a block of rooms at a nice hotel.
