Cayman Motorsports Association has a long, rich arid colourful history. Formerly known as the Autocross Association of the Cayman Islands, CMA has come from the back roads to dirt tracks and hopefully to a paved facility one day.

CMA got its modest beginnings in the early 80's by 'Founding Father's Courtney Myles, Billy Ebanks, O'Leary Cranston, Ezzard Miller, Tony Williams, and Beatman Ebanks. Car racing began with a few guys calling each other up on the weekends asking if they were ready to race this weekend. The first track, the Cinema's parking lot, was more of a dexterity course run on a time trial basis. The Association soon felt its first surge of interest and the track was moved to Paul Bodden's Marl Pit at Halfway Pond to accommodate the growth.

There again it was based on cars running against the clock, but soon two or three cars would race at a time. After a while the track was moved to Everglo drive-in, in Bodden Town. This is where the Association took on a more racing posture, several cars vying for the checkered flag. In 1984 the Association attracted a big name sponsor "Foster Brothers" which enabled them to staged a race in Industrial Park.

About five years CMA found a more permanent home at the Lakeview Raceway. With the blessing of Mr. Jay Bodden of CayMarl the Association has thrived for the past decade going from racing whenever the "guys were ready" to a once a month race schedule. Along with growth came responsibility and safety improvement. Roll cages. a five-point harness, fuel cells, fire extinguishers and all drivers had to wear helmets and fire suits. Furthermore, the Association split into racing classes known as Group A and B to accommodate 25 drivers competing on the track each race day.

In 1997 the Association hosted its first International Challenge Cup under the guidance of Robbie Cribb. And in 1998 the Association had a banner year of 'first' under the new leadership of Robert Campbell. Local drivers participated in the Caribbean Championship as well as hosting legendary racecar driver Mario Andretti and last but not least, land was purchased for a Family Recreation Centre and Motorsports Park by Robert Campbell.

That year also pointed to the fact that the name it was first founded under was no longer suitable and it was changed to show its growth. The new name Cayman Motorsports Association is more indicative of what the Association hopes to accomplish.

The Association members also saw the need to introduce a kid's go-kart programme, which is fast became one of CMA's shining new stars.

The continuity and activeness of the Association was interrupted in 2003 when the Association’s dedicated race track, kindly provided by Mr Jay Bodden, was reclaimed for development and then again in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan.

Having no track to race on once again, the club went dormant till 2007 when the Time Attack events were restarted at various locations around the Island.
