There are a couple of reasons for that. The Miata has been around since 1990 which makes it a lot cheaper to get into racing than almost anything out there. You spend 2 to 3k for a donor car vs. teens to $20+. Puts a lot more guys in the game, and the competition is good. Doesn't make the Miata a bad car to race, just another option.
I would feel to guilty to go out rubbing fenders in something that new and more expensive. At least in my current economic situation.
