We talked with a team owner about Formula Mazda a couple weeks ago. But there really isn't a lot of competition on the west coast.IMO.
I think the Miata is the cheapest testing ground to find out if racing is worth pursuing. I don't think it is, but it's not my life.
Joey Hand ended up making a decent carer, and living, out of racing in the GT classes.
He's got a win at Le Mans and Platinum ranking.

Joey had to get a factory ride and run in DTM for a few years first though.
Let me do a little homework and ping you privately. There's a new open wheel spec class coming up and I've got some contacts in CA who are involved. I don't remember what it's called and I don't know how far along they are on it, but they are looking to campaign 3-4 cars in 2020 or 2021 depending on how long they take to get up to speed. There will be seats.
