You don't see many Miatas in professional races either.

I don't disagree with you about class rules but the Miatas are competitive in both Pirelli World Challenge ST class and Continental Sports Car TC and TCA classes. In SCCA club racing they are competitive in in several classes including production, spec and touring.
Someone just needs to take the FR-S racing. As long as they stay in the class the car was built for they should be successful with a little development. TRD and Toyota could help but they chose to back Stout Racing in a class the Scion was ill suited for and the effort failed miserably.
