(Looking for an inside line on the Club? “Inside the SCCA” is a podcast that features interviews with the Club’s leading personalities, but it’s not owned by SCCA®. Instead, it’s an independent media outlet managed by Rule 15 Productions and hosted by longtime SCCA member and journalist Brian Bielanski. He uses the Club’s name with permission.)

On episode 203 of Inside the SCCA presented by RaceSchool.com, podcast host Brian Bielanski goes right to the source to get the answer to the burning question: What does the future of Spec Miata hold? Mazda Motorsports’ Josh Smith and SCCA’s Spec Mazda Advisory Committee (SMAC) chair Sean Hedrick join the podcast to talk about the health and long-term view of one of the most popular classes in the history of the SCCA. What is Mazda's commitment? How does the SCCA keep the class strong? Is there a place for both Spec Miata and Spec MX-5? What's new for the class? Those questions and a whole lot more are answered on this episode.
