Racecar build: STL NC MX-5

The second of a trio of STL MX-5s built by Nick Leverone that MazdaMotorsports.com will explore

Most of the SCCA Super Touring Lite-class Miatas in competition are NA or NB MX-5s. But there are a few NC-based cars that are doing quite well. Craig McHaffie's car is one of those.

Built in 2008 by Nick Leverone's Flatout Motorsports and McHaffie's father, Hugh, for Grand-Am's Koni Challenge, the car now finds a home in STL.

"Back in 2008, we bought it right off the dealer floor and stripped it out and turned it into a race car for the Grand-Am series," explains McHaffie. "Nick and my Dad ran it, had some success there, and then we kind of put it away for a while. As soon as STL came up as a National class, we decided we should dust it off and get it going."

The car has a lot of the same Flatout-developed equipment that has found a place on Leverone's STL NB, although obviously adapted for the different dimensions of the NC.
