COM Sports Car Club

Well, okay, "co-class champion". I shared that honor with the legendary Lee Walsh. Mine was the better car, but he was the better driver.

I bought this car in 2001 as a one-owner Texas car, never wrecked, never driven in the winter and always garaged and maintained at the dealer at the regular intervals. It had 89K miles on it when I purchased it. Since then, it has been a race-only car, converted by myself (except for the Dave Woodle 8-pt custom cage, through-the-dash method).

It is very fast and well sorted for the ST4 COM class. It can easily be made SCCA Spec Miata legal with very minor changes (removal of header, underdrive pulleys, cold-air intake, addition of nets, and I'm not sure: do they require a fuel cell?).

My wife and I have decided to get out of the sport until our children (8, 10, 13, and 16) are all grown up. Since that's going to be a while, and I don't want to hang on to this car until then, my loss is your gain.

The car currently has 94k miles on it, and is not street legal (no DOT belts, no working horn).

Here's are the details:

OEM Hardtop (purchased with the car, will not sell separately)
Professional custom roll cage with door bars
Racing Beat racing header
Unorthodox underdrive pulleys
Jackson cold air intake
Spec Miata suspension kit, corner-weighted for 165-lb driver
Spec Miata exhaust
Kirkey 15" driver's seat (bolted to floor)
Race Technologies DL-90 GPS-based data logger
1 set of Team Dynamics Racing Pro Race 1 15x7 wheels
1 set of Team Dynamics Racing Pro Race 2 15x7 wheels
New rotors
New brake pads (Hawk blues up front, blacks in the rear)
Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines
OEM front lip spoiler
Turn signal air inlets (also have original)
Momo steering wheel (also have original)
Viscous LSD

Asking price is $7000 O.B.O. I am also selling an 18' enclosed aluminum trailer for $7000. I will sell both together for $13000.

Here's a recent picture taken last year at NHIS.

Wow, good deal. This won't last long.

Mike, you and Tina will be missed.

Say it ain't so! Best of luck Mike & Tina, hope you guys come back soon!

Thanks guys. I'm sure we'll catch some local NHIS events when they're on the weekend, and volunteer to flag, or just hang out and smell race gas.

Hi Mike,
I have a friend who is a new COM member and is very interested in your car. He asked me to respond to the add because he is not currently on the forum. Would you please send me a note with some contact info at khissong at hissongdevelopment dot com.

Thanks,
K Hissong

Will do. Thanks for the heads up.

The car has been sold to a new COM member who will be campaigning it in ST4.

Hmmmmm, initials of B. S.?

Congrats on the sale and to the new owner, your getting a great car! I am glad to hear the car is staying in the COM family. We'll miss seeing you and Tina out on the track.

Thanks for the kind words Gordon. We'll miss running with COM. We'll try and make it to as many weekend NHMS (and maybe Palmer?) events as we can to either just hang out or work corners.

Not to bump an old thread...

I just bought this car from an older gentleman up in Maine, who purchased it off of the new com member who purchased it off of the original seller.

Long story short, it's staying in the COMSCC family and will be well loved!

Here comes T30.

A bump from 2008! Michael’s kids are grown up now. Maybe he should have bought it back

I am the new owner of the #2 miata. It should appear this year at as many COM events as we can schedule.
