Yeah so now other questions arise:
Who should run FMC? How does the split work? I thought of allowing people to qualify for both series and then go run the race where they qualified best. Then there would be a rule that makes it so that when you opt out of FMSC because of poor starting position twice, you'll be locked into FMC for the rest of the season.
So, for example, say Wardez Jr. decided to join in on FMSC in S3. He sees that he's allowed to qualify for both FMSC and the FM challenge. He does quali. sessions for both, gets placed 15th in FMSC and 5th in FMC. So he decides to run FMC. He gets second place and decides that he likes FMC but he thinks he can do better at the next track in FMSC.
WAIT- lmao, hold it right there man stop reading. I just thought, " huh... but hey we have two sponsors! Why do I insist on still calling the feeder series Flyin' Miata when we could simply dub it The Hard Dog Miata Challenge 'HDMC presented by FMSC'."
So... to pick up where we left off - Wardez Jr. qualifies again for both FMSC and HDMC. He gets 10th in FMSC but 6th in HDMC. He thinks to himself, " Well, I did have a lot of fun in HDMC and I think I could fight for the win at this track... so I think I'll go ahead and pick HDMC again and lock myself in"
The 2 race lock in rule would go from any first race a new person enters. So if we're in race 3 and someone enters in, they have after the one race to decide which series they want to be locked into.
I'm just not sure how we should rule out FMSC racers from doing too much racing in HDMC. Do you think that if you decide to lock yourself into FMSC from the beginning that you shouldn't be allowed to race in HDMC at all? Or could we be like Kyle Busch and run Sprint Cup and Nationwide?
The only complication I see is that we might be getting in the way of someone's championship if we're not taking it as seriously as they are. Maybe we could allow FMSC racers to participate but only in provisional spots at the back of the grid? too chaotic? I just don't want someone to be put off by seeing a really fast veteran going into the HDMC race and killing it.
It's a delicate balance.
Edit: Hey Wardez, do you remember what font you used for the "Spec Miata Championship Series" in the logo? I'm just going to replace the "Spec" with "MX-5".
Yeah man, the bridger font's "Euphemia". I contorted (squished it down) to 68% and stretched it out to 180%.

Edit 2: Also going to make the executive decision to drop the NB from the series. Sorry Dr_Watson!
Lol, that's all good. Cool car and all but... yeah not enough takers.
and yeah, maybe Sunday would be better, or sometime during the week I suppose. 👍
