While not what you asked, if your Miata has a MANUAL transmission, you can flat tow it MUCH easier than you can trailer tow it. If automatic transmission, you are SOL.
I did tow 4 down with a Toyota at one point and just did not like it. That is why I bought the trailer. Backing up is much easier too.
PM me if you want details.
For what you DID ask, I sometimes tow an Austin Healey in an enclosed trailer.
I fashioned a steel frame cross member for the front and for the rear of the Healey. Each cross member has a single point loop in the center. I use a short chain with hooks to the trailer frame in front and a screw type chain tightener to the trailer frame in the rear. This pulls the car chassis down to inhibit the load "bouncing".
The car loads and ties down in seconds rather than minutes.
I've been from Dallas to both coasts with it and the Healey has never moved.
IF I were to trailer my Miata, I would use the same system.
