Also, anyone who does not hang out at the track has trouble believing that a Miata is a good race car. So the stud factor definitely takes a beating.

SRF can race in NASA although many of those cars are actually the Renault powered cars. Only downside is that it's a catchall class for sports racer cars. You might have run against some guy in a Tiga S2000....

Yeah, I looked into it. I have lots of friends in NASA and thought I might try it. But as you point out, you could be racing against a Daytona Prototype. With my race time limited as it is, I just can't justify a throw-away weekend.

For a Spec series, I think SRF is much better than Miata. I have no proof, but I would guess the cheating and "arms race" is much smaller in SRF.

From what I've read I'd have to agree. I think one region messed around with sealed miata engines for a bit (San Fran IIRC) but otherwise there is not a lot of tech in SM. That being the case, the racing is still extremely close.
Seeing the SRF dyno curves so close is great. Saw a race this fall an those guys were having a blast.
