The Utah Miata club was formed in 1991, and is one of the oldest established clubs in the United States. When Mazda created the Miata Club of America (MCA), which later became the Miata Owners Club (MOC), our club was the official chapter for Utah. Even though the MCA and MOC are now gone, our club continues to grow with an average member base of over 90 members and growing.

Each month we have a club luncheon to discuss the upcoming month’s activities and calendar of events. The luncheon is on a Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m. at one of our local restaurants. The location changes from month to month. At this luncheon we offer a “door prize” drawing (or two) in which a gift is given by drawing a lucky number ticket. We also honor those members in attendance who have a birthday in the upcoming month by giving them a gift. This is why we ask for your birthday date on our application. We conduct any club business and discuss events and activities and ask for participation from members on what they would like to do for upcoming events. This is “your” club, so we want everyone to get involved in planning activities and rides. We discuss impromptu rides, day rides, overnight events and various annually planned activities. Events and activities are planned in the early Spring for most all weekends throughout the Summer and into late Fall. Some of our Annual Activities are: Tech Day, A Polar Day Ride (first ride of the season, usually in March), Summer Bar B Que (July), Road Rally (Sept.), and our Fall Leaf Drive (Sept.) We also have other annual events such as a Planning Meeting and Club Officer’s Election in January. In colder months in which our Miatas are tucked away in the garage, we plan other indoor activities to do and also have our Halloween and Christmas Holiday Parties. In other words, there is always something FUN to do in the Utah Miata Club.

The Utah Miata Club has several sponsors where you can purchase parts and services at a discounted rate; and if you are looking for a new or previously owned/pampered car, Bountiful Mazda will provide you the best price available. Bountiful Mazda also offers Club Members a 10% discount on parts and services and provides each new person who purchases a new vehicle a one year’s paid membership to the Utah Miata Club as a token of appreciation for purchasing a new vehicle. A “Tires for Life” program, offering FREE tires for the life of your new Miata, is offered as well ,as long as you use the dealer for servicing your vehicle. In addition to Bountiful Mazda, Extreme Auto, an auto repair facility in Centerville and Layton offers excellent service and repairs to your vehicles, and they specialize in the repair of Miatas. For our Southern Utah members, Stephen Wade Mazda works with our members in the St. George area. These are just a few of the benefits of membership.

We publish a monthly newsletter where you can read about past and future events, member spotlights and product reviews. The club also maintains this website and shares resources with Team Zoom. Both websites contains hundreds of pictures, movies and member profiles. Additionally several members compete in SCCA Solo2 (auto-cross) in their miatas. Please check out www.teamzoom.net if you are interested in this.

Other specialty Miata Events: Our Utah Miata Club has been actively involved in other local, regional, and national events. Some of our members regularly travel to other states to participate in both regional, nationwide, and also international events. We list some of the links to these events from time to time on our website. There are hundreds of Miata Clubs within the United States and Canada as well as across the world. Our club has hosted a very successful event called “Miatas in Moab” three times since 2003. Each time the attendance and popularity has grown. In May of 2007, we hosted almost 300 cars with almost 600 miata people representing over 45 different miata clubs across the country and Canada. We have “Miata Friends” from all over the United States and Canada and even some in Europe whom we are personal friends with. We are also invited to participate in their events. We have also participated in going on cruises together on major cruise ships lines. Our motto is this: We want to Have Fun! We want to put that famous “Miata Grin” on your face. We call it “Miatatude”.

So fill out that Application. Join the Party and Have some FUN. This is what it is all about.
