MX5 RACING ADVISE NEEDED

I am trying to decide on whether to :

1) Race my current MX5 to the specs in my signature + slicks
and keep as a daily driver as well

or

2) To import a cheap naturally aspirated NB as a designated race car and
race that.

I am wanting to compete in as many events as possible including CAMS
events here and interstate.

The things swaying my decision are:

- is a turbo'd MX competitive in the 2A cams class or does that class
allow monster cars ??

- what other circut racing events/classes can I drive a turboed MX5 in ??

I am thinking a naturally aspirated MX may open the
door to more events and a more competitive car in that particular class ??

I know this is all a jarbled mess but I hope you get what I mean

any advise greatly appreciated.

How much experience do you have?
What lap times does your car do?

haven't had any experience except track days...I have only done these on cheese cutter tyres and without any of the mods in my sig except the turbo
will know more realistic times after the 10th of Aug my times weren't that great allthough I was 2nd fastest MX5 first time out...

by the info youve just given us... you might be best off keeping the current car as your weekend/race warrior and getting another mx5 or wateva car as your daily.
