This is to the Washington DC area.  I (and Kansei) will be going up to
Summit Pt. on July 2 - 3 - 4 for a Car Guys drivers school.  The paperwork
requires that the car be inspected no more than two weeks beforehand, to the
approximate extent of the MD pre-registration vehicle inspection which is
required before a newly purchased car may be registered.  One may have this
done by a "qualified club technical official" (or words to that effect) or a
professional auto shop somewhere.  No other criteria.
 
So:  For those of you who have been through this - any recommendations?  Can
one ask a state inspection station to perform such an inspection and sign
off the inspection sheet supplied by Car Guys, for the going vehicle
inspection fee?  Does one take it to a dealer?  What should one expect to
pay for such an inspection, if other than the going state inspection fee?
Are there people in either the Capitol Mazda Club or the Chesapeake Area
Miata Club who would be qualified by Car Guys standards?
 
Looking forward to some hot tips here -                   --Jack M.--
