Be Careful what you wish for!!! That saying is SO TRUE!!! We have been waiting for “SUMMER” the whole month of June…and BAM!!.... Mother Nature heard our calls and she may have OVER DONE IT!!! It’s been a SMOKIN HOT July!!! Hate to see what this month in August brings. We still have many more driving events coming up and it would be nice to be able to enjoy the ride in more comfortable DRY temps!!!

I heard the NAMGBR, which took place Sunday-Wednesday June 23rd – 26th in Traverse City, MI. was a GREAT TIME and a HUGE turn out!!! Melissa Gonzales had a great review in the July issue of Driveline.

The Lands’ End Rally took place on July 6th. There was a TREMENDOUS turnout and once again it was a GREAT time. You can read all the details in this month’s issue.

The Arlington Race Park event that took place on July 14th was a TRIUMPH!! It was a beautiful day out and an incredible turnout for a most memorable day!! There is a review in this month’s issue as well to hear all about the event!!

Jim Compton will have to let us know how many of you participated in the Miata Autocross II which took place on Saturday July 27th. I hope it was a nice turn out and the weather cooperated!!

I can’t wait to hear about the annual Peds in the Weeds event that will take place on August 4th. Kerry Hickenlooper once again organized this very special, heartwarming event. I’m sure we will read all about it in next month’s Driveline.
