President’s Message – October 2026

As we roll into autumn here in the Wilmington area, there’s no better time to be a Miata owner. The blistering summer heat is finally giving way to crisp, cool mornings and comfortable afternoons—unquestionably the best weather of the year for putting the top down and hitting the open road.

I want to extend a warm thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent club breakfast social at Stevenson Hendrick Mazda. It was nice to see everyone there, catching up over coffee and bagels, and connecting with our local Mazda partners who continue to support our club.

With fall in full swing, we have several exciting opportunities for club rides coming up on the calendar. Keep an eye on your email inbox and our upcoming event announcements for dates, staging locations, and route details.

Thank you all for making our club such a vibrant and welcoming group. Let’s take full advantage of this perfect autumn driving weather—uncover those garage queens, drop the tops, and we’ll see you at the next drive!

Zoom-Zoom,

Paul Reinmann
