Meet Cheese Ball

Cheese Ball (1994 Spec Miata)

Cheese Ball is a 1994 1.8-liter non-VVT Spec Miata built for one of the closest and most competitive forms of racing in North America. Finished in bright yellow, the name was an easy choice—equal parts color reference and acknowledgment that Spec Miata drivers are never afraid to laugh at themselves. In a class where every car is nearly identical, the difference is made by the driver.

Built to Spec Miata regulations, Cheese Ball emphasizes momentum, precision, and racecraft over horsepower. Every lap is a lesson in carrying speed, maximizing corner exit, and battling door-to-door with competitors often separated by only tenths of a second. With modest power and a lightweight chassis, there is little room for mistakes, making it one of the purest driving experiences in motorsports.

As Ball Pit Motorsports' dedicated wheel-to-wheel race car, Cheese Ball represents the next chapter of competition. While Golf Ball chases lap times and Low Ball searches for dirt, Cheese Ball is built for close racing, clean passes, and the controlled chaos that makes Spec Miata one of the most respected grassroots racing classes in the country.
