Bernie,
	Good luck in the autoX, I live behind the Sierra Vista-Tombstone
Rd. Charleston Rd. It was the first place I took my Miata, and still do
periodically as I LOVE the sweeping turns and have been known to exceed
the posted speed he,he,he and drive halfway to Tombstone. Iffn you ever 
make the drive in that direction again drop me a note first and I'll
show you the road.
