Tarek- make sure you join NASA. It's required before signing up for any of their events. Also take a look at running with the MazdaDrivers events.....a little more track time for the same or less money.

It's all driver. The car has very little to do with it. You'll see Miatas schooling Corvettes and Porsches... in the school groups at least.

7 or 8 times a year: http://www.nasaracing.net

The rules are mostly for racing, which you'll need to work up to. You'd be doing HPDE 1, beginner group, passing only on the straights, with an instructor riding along, and several classroom sessions a day:

Any car that passes tech is allowed. Yes you bring your own car. Entry fees are usually about $350 a weekend for HPDE.
