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

Welcome to the Bay Area Miata Drivers’ website!

BAMD was founded by members of a Northern California Miata club who wanted a less restrictive driving experience. 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 those who aspire to drive their Miatas 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, and we stay clear of club politics. If you want to know more, click the About BAMD button.

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. Specific locations and times are sent to those who sign up for the event. You can sign up for the event email list 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.
