Miatas at Myrtle Beach V

March 24 through 27, 2011, saw the arrival of about 120 Miatas and about 200 drivers and passengers. This was the first anniversary of the Grand Strad Miata Club. Last time we didn't even exist as a club. This time we had quite a part to play in putting on the event. As a club we organized the North End Winery Tour, the Free Hot Dog Friday (sponsored by Beach Automotive), and the Scramble on Saturday. Below are some photos of the events.
