+ 1 on the Spec Miata affordable route.

My instructor last weekend races spec--and amongst other affordable things rotors for a Miata cost 12-15 dollars. Yes, 12-15 dollars! Contrast that with the cost of rotors on our cars and gap is Grand Canyon sized. Other parts, even engines, are much more affordable (long discussion I won't go into, but it was very a very interesting discussion). In fact, he's selling his race-prepped Miata for a little over 9K (he wants to move to a more powerful class after doing this for the past 10 years or so and racing motorcycles professionally for 30+ years).

The spec guys were having quite a great battle out there during the day too--no contact but definetelly some intense and exciting competition.
