Here's the response I got from them:
We will have a mandatory drivers meeting at 8:30 and be on track for first session at 9:00am for I believe they will be 25 minute sessions. Lunch at 12:00pm and back on the track at 1:00pm until 5:00pm. We still have openings so if they are wanting to participate we need to try and get all registration done by Weds. Thursday being the latest so we can make sure we have enough instructors.
There are two forms you need to fill out, inspection and reservation. I have them if you need them or they'll email them to you.

OK from an instructor on the Miata board:
Format is the same as a typical track day - you'll get 4-6 20-25 minute track sessions (details are still being hashed out, but expect ~120 minutes of total track time), and the drivers will be broken up into three run groups - Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced.

I've got speed bleeders so that helps make mine easier

took 3 full cans of the snake oil to flush mine.

feedback on snake oil:

What little bit of time i had before my pos DEFECTIVE Camshaft broke, the brakes felt really solid (after a 2nd bleeding)

Ask Kelly, he had the honor and privledge of being the last known passenger inside before it went down in flames. brakes were gud tho. very nice n tight
