Anyone play in Spec 3 or Spec MX5?

I'm not likely going to make anything happen here but feel like i need to go through the motions of researching it to get it out of my system.

Interested in doing HPDE's maybe 4-6 times per year. Have a tall torso so headroom with helmet is important. Don't need to go faster than my ability or wallet. Figure if i'm gonna build or buy a track car might as well get something built towards an existing series in case i find the $$ and time to compete. Should also help with resale if i opted out.

Any thoughts on cheaper and simpler options for this? Miata would be a first choice if i can fit with helmet and I see NC's going for dirt cheap locally. Don't think i'd want to go faster than the e36 bimmers. Spec 3 looks like fun for sure. Can i get on the track for $15k + consumables? Is it reasonable to buy a street car and drop in spec suspension, race bucket and cage then enjoy HPDE's for a few years before building to race spec?

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
