RE: Contacts for Summit point:  The track is operated by Bill Scott, under
the name BSR (Bill Scott Racing).  Unfortunately, I can't lay hands on a
phone no. or address right off, but there will no doubt be others who will
provide an answer.  One point:  Depending upon which driver's school or
session you go to, you may not be able to run a Miata.  We've talked this
over at the local (Capitol Area Mazda Club) group, and whether or not you
need a roll bar with an open car, seems to vary depending upon the whims of
whoever is running the particular event.  With one group, I understand that
you can run an open car, but will not be allowed to go solo, even if you are
otherwise qualified.  With another, I understand that their instructors
won't get in the car with you without a roll bar - you HAVE to go solo!!
Go figure.  Does a removable hard top negate the roll bar requirement?
Again, it seems to depend upon who you talk to.  Hopefully, someone will
come up with more concrete info. than this.  I will say that it's an
absolute BALL driving there, from the viewpoint of an absolute neophyte at
such things (one driving school day and some fast touring laps on another
occasion).  Go to it!
