Z Car Garage Race Preparation
It is our pleasure to bring more enthusiasts into the world of vintage racing. Our trackside services include full race support and car-preparation to help make client’s race days seamless and worry-free so they can focus on driving. One of our specialties is dyno tuning.

Classic Sports Racing Group (CSRG) is hosting a pre-season tech day for anyone who wants to have their car inspected before the first event of the season, March 15 at Sonoma Raceway. This year there are three great locations for your geographical convenience: North Bay, Peninsula, and South Bay! All three locations will be hosting the tech day on Friday February 23rd. Please call or email the location you’re planing to visit to confirm their hours and to let them know you’re coming. Thank you to all three businesses for taking time out of their day to do these tech inspections. We look forward to seeing you all at the track in just under a month!
The Classic Sports Racing Group (CSRG) is excited to welcome Vintage Spec Miata (1990-1997) to all of their events! This is a fun, affordable way to get into vintage racing. If you have any questions regarding prep and presentation, reach out to Rob Fuller: rob@zcargarage.com. Please see below for more information and rules.
Why Vintage Spec Miata (VSM)?
Why VSM? It’s a great way to get into vintage racing at an affordable price point. The nice folks at the CSRG have a strict no-contact policy as part of their racing philosophy: this ensures the safest environment for you to race competitively while sharing the track with traditional cars.
Lastly, CSRG events are known for their camaraderie and undeniably cool eye-candy. If you want to mix it up with classic race cars of the 60s and 70s in your Spec Miata, this is the ticket.
Did we mention it is Fun! See what vintage racing with CSRG is all about in one of our race reports HERE!
