So now that it’s been a few weeks since Miata Reunion I’ve had some time to reflect on the event. Strap in, it’s story time. Miata Reunion 2026 will forever be unique. Our MR planning team worked hard to pull all the pieces together to make sure we had an event for 2026. Did we have issues? Sure. Did we have people who were upset about things we had no control over? Of course. Let’s wind it back a bit, we’ve been attached to Miata reunion since 2015, and since then we had always looked forward to the event. Obviously seeing Rick and getting hugs in between him running back and forth throughout the paddock. Carving out some time to hide from the chaos and catch up was always something special. Shortly after the 2023 MR event, Rick reached out to me about creating this new team of people who would lead the charge for the future. I was 1000% in. As time went on, ideas for the event changed and so did members of our team. We moved on without some members, and added a couple new ones. We were able to connect with Gridlife Laguna and they welcomed us with open arms and helped to make sure we had a great event for 2026. We seriously cannot thank them enough. Yes we did forgo the track time for 2026, but never say never 😉 I want to make sure I thank our sponsors and vendors who made the commitment to the event. We could not do what we do without you!
