Texas Miata Challenge

Since 2014 the Lone Star Miata Club has organized the annual Texas Miata Challenge. Each year a theme is chosen with 10 locations identified within the state of Texas.

The rules are simple to complete the challenge:

  • Drive to each of the 10 designated points in Texas.
  • Take a picture of you, your Miata, and the specified item at each destination. (Or get as close as you can with the car!) Each picture should include a date stamp on the picture if possible. If both driver and co-pilot are participating, both must appear in the picture.
  • Entries with all 10 destinations will receive a specially designed pin. Pictures can be submitted either digitally or as 4×6 prints on photo quality paper. Mail or turn entries by October 1 of each year.
  • The location to mail or email your pictures will be provided on the page for each year’s challenge.

So get out and drive your Miata around our beautiful state! Take your pictures and also take time to explore the area around the challenge site. It is not just about being there and getting a pin and/or t-shirt, but also about driving our fun cars to new locations and getting a chance to see what else is there.
