Bay Area Miata Drivers is an alternative to traditional Miata clubs. We are active Miata enthusiasts who enjoy spirited group drives, tech sessions, track days, performance driving, autocrossing, and many other fun Miata activities. Our primary goal is to provide exciting Miata group drives on some of the twistiest and the most scenic Bay Area back roads possible, in one of the greatest sports cars ever made.

BAMD was founded in 2009 by members of a Northern California Miata club who wanted a better group driving experience than any of the clubs in the area provided. BAMD fills the gap between cruising clubs and clubs that think speed means giving up safety.

We love our Miatas, and we have a lot of fun driving together on the most outrageous back roads in the area. We're aimed at experienced, skilled Miata drivers, as well as anyone who drives their Miata as Mazda intended. We promote spirited driving combined with common sense.

We have no dues or fees and we are not a club. We prefer driving to dealing with money and forms. We have no board or elected officers, no sponsors or advertisers, and we stay clear of club politics. If you want to know more about who we are and why we're here, click the About BAMD button in the left-hand menu above.

We invite drivers to create and lead activities, or to offer ideas about relevant area events that BAMD drivers might enjoy. We hold group drives at least once a month, and tech/garage days about as often. We have a blast with a great group of people, while learning a lot about our shared interest—the Miata.

Our events are listed on the BAMD calendar, with registered drivers receiving general event info by email a couple of weeks before each event. Specific locations and times are sent to those who sign up for the event. You can put yourself on the event email list by signing up for BAMD on the Register page.

BAMD connects Miata drivers through this website forum. We aren't trying to take the place of other Miata forums, but we do have an active network of Miata enthisiasts who regularly exchange technical information, news, ideas, humor, stories, event info and plans. Checking the forum is a great way to find out what's happening in BAMD—you'll get a better sense of who we are and how much fun BAMD drivers are having.
