For those of you who missed the forum post: How about a kit to create a 1930s grand prix racer from a Mazda Miata donor car? No, it's not April Fools. Yes, you should build one. (Thanks, Keith, for the tip.)

I wonder what it would take to make this car compliant  with SCCA rules?

 

I would be willing to sell a few of my toys to pay for this and clear up some shop space.

I know Ant really wants to get a series going for them. SCCA regs vary by class, but the roll bar is built to MSA requirements. 

I think they're surprisingly big. As wide as a Miata but with that long boat tail.

Now...can I fit a K-series in there with a KMiata gearbox adapter?

Lose the fake exhaust tubes and the cat and I am on board.
