    Ronnie sez:>>
    I want to start auto-x'ing my Miata in the SF Bay Area.  Can anybody
    point me at a good local driving school?  And a bookstore?
    
    Thanks.

    Ronnie, the SF Bay area has some of the best autocross drivers in the 
    country.  A very high ration of National level drivers.  I imagine 
    their schools are super.
    
    Try joining Team.Net, an internet list of autocrossers.

    There is actually a Bay area division of this net, administered by Josh 
    Sirota (who is very nice and very helpful).  
    The bay division addresses are:
    	ba-autox-request@autox.team.net
    	ba-racers@autox.team.net
    respectively.
    
    Have fun!!
    
    And on waving:>>
    1.  I'd estimate that my wave-back ratio is better than 90%, as well.
    And that's true throughout the year, not just now because the weather 
    is good and people aren't used to seeing convertibles so
    soon  (I'm in Buffalo).

    	I am very sad.  I was looking forward to spring and waving at the 
    other three Miatas...  and only the red one has shown up this spring!!!  
    And he's the guy who doesn't wave!!  Now my wave back percent is ZERO.  
    Just to let you know that not waving causes bad luck,  I saw his car in 
    the parking lot the other day with the top up (we have to here when we 
    park, it rains too often) and he had a lovely, completely melted, 
    frosted chocolate cake seeping into his passenger seat.  Payback is 
    just hell.
    
    Cheerio!!
