There were a bunch of Miata's out last weekend and I was wondering what the different setups on each of them were. If folks are willing to share the info?
Overall ranking by raw time:
Rank Car# Class Driver Car Raw Time Score
17 115 STR Cameron D 2003 Mazda Miata 118.285 90.722
20 64 ES Dylan R 2003 Mazda Miata 120.887 88.770
21 77 OPEN Dave W 1992 Mazda miata 121.305 88.464
22 15 STR Kathleen D 2003 Mazda Miata 122.117 87.876
29 76 STS John H 1992 Mazda Miata 128.214 83.697
31 78 STS Patrick C 1994 Mazda Miata 130.709 82.099

You should check out Miata.net if you haven't already.
E Street prep thread (NA or NB, minimal prep, street tires) (https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=541008)
STS prep thread (1.6L NA1 or 1.8L NA2 with open diff, more prep, street tires) (https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=347833)
STR prep thread (1.8L NA2 with LSD or NB, more prep, street tires) (https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=416274)
If doing well on index is a goal, your best bet is to get an NB, put a front sway bar and good tires (and ideally shocks) on it, and run in ES.

Kathleen & Cameron ran the light silver 2003 in STR, I think they have shocks/springs/tires/wheels.
Patrick had the red '94, he got bumped out of ES into STS because of a brake booster brace, but is running 14" falkens on his stock wheels.
I have wheels and tires only on my STS sunburst, but the proper 7.5x15 wheels that are the limit in STS. I have a header I bought off Dave hanging in my garage waiting for install that I'm installing more for bling than the 3 hp I might gain out of it. Eventually, when I win the lottery or get another engineering job (feels like the same odds), we'll definitely do a serious spring/shock upgrade along with a front sway bar and some type of camber adjustment upgrade, but will probably avoid going as far as an ECU upgrade.
I didn't get a chance to talk to the #64 driver in the darker grey.
And Dave has pretty much everything on his car.
I think the main difference between the STS & STR cars is differential - open and the 1.6l viscous diff are in STS, the 1.8l cars with LSDs are in STR.
Beau also came out to the Airdrie event in a '96 that's new to him this year, but we'll likely only see him at Airdrie.
