We're pretty smitten with the Flyin' Miata story at Targa Newfoundland, and not just because they offered us a seat in their supercharged Grand Touring Class entry. Husband and wife team Keith and Janel Tanner managed a 16th place finish in their 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata in the event back in 2008, and this year, they're coming to the fight with a fire-breathing V8 conversion at their disposal. The tale is interesting enough to have snagged the ear of a filmmaker who wants to bring the Tanner story to the rest of the world.

Adam Costa has jumped onto the Flyin' Miata wagon for the long road to the checkered flag, and he's started a Kickstarter project to help fund the endeavor in hopes of being able to bring along an additional cameraman. You can donate anything from one dollar all the way up to $2,000 for various 'thank you' gifts, including an executive producer title in the film itself. A more reasonable $50 donation will land you a DVD copy of the film. Having had the pleasure of seeing Costa's work in Speed Science for the Science Channel, we don't think we'll be disappointed. Hit the jump to check out the trailer for yourself and cruise over to Kickstarter for a look at the project.Continue reading The Road to Targa Newfoundland, Part 2: Flyin' Miata gets the documentary treatment [w/video]
