I've been talking with my son about building an Exocet, which is basically a Miata drivetrain and suspension with a tube-framed exoskeleton body. Looks a bit like an Ariel Atom, but a bit primitive since it's based on an old Miata.

It should be pretty quick since they're light, but running a near stock miata drive train means it won't be crazy fast.
So some dumb questions about classing... I couldn't find anything similar in the GCR. What would something like this get classed in? If it's a race class, does that mean full roll cage? (I'd rather not have the race version with the full cage since I don't think that will be street legal.) I would put racing seats and full harnesses in it. Can something like this run track days?
Is this a sane idea for HSAX and track days?
Thoughts appreciated,
Jim
