From Wrecks to Racers Part 4

In Part 3, we covered the purchase of a wrecked 2016 MX-5 Miata to build for SCCA autocross purposes. As a reminder, the car had been involved in a rollover, but still was billed as a “run and drive” car. We finished up the last installment with driving the car into our trailer at the Copart facility in Pasco, Washington.

The four-hour return trip to Seattle was filled with much excitement and anticipation. We had finally purchased a car, and now it was time to assess the damage, make a game plan for repair, and as part of the assessment and repair, finalize where the car would start in the SCCA classing structure.
