I'm setting up my '95 MIata as a track car. (My previous track days were in an '04 Mazdaspeed Miata, now sold.) So, I'm right there with you on the low-power front. I'm interested in learning as much car control as possible, so, if the BMW CCA schools emphasize technique, I'm quite interested.

One more question: The '95 has a roll bar, race seats, harnesses, and a hard top. I know some organizations are hesitant to admit open-top cars, regardless of their safety equipment. Will my car be OK with NCC, assuming it passes technical inspection?
