It's just interesting... talking to everybody else in the area that prep Miatas for track work, they all know what you stated in your post. It's been known for years. Maybe if you had more experience working with cars used on a race track, and not "tuner" cars, you'd know that as well... As it is, I sure as hell am not recommending your shop for alignments on any cars that see track work... ESPECIALLY MAZDAS!!! You have TWO very reputable shops close by that have been race-prepping Mazdas for years!!!!
