Is anyone competing or know of anyone competing in B-stock with the 99'10th
anniversary edition Miata with any success?  This model is unique in that it
is the only Miata with a close ratio 6spd transmision (first five gears
under 1:1), and also has all the suspension peices as the Sport model.  Is
the 6spd an aid or hinderance on the autocross course?  In a 5spd Miata it
seems like you use 2nd and 3rd mostly, in the 6spd I think one would be
sifting more frequently between 2nd and 4th - alot more time sifting but
maybe more often have a correct ratio.
