For the track, you want at least a roll bar and preferably a cage. Also race seats with 6-point harnesses on both seats. A cage, and harnesses, and a stiff suspension make for a not-paricularly-comfortable street car. I build my race car to be street legal so I could drive to the track, and then bought a trailer and tow vehicle. I can't imagine driving even to Summit Point, although I do drive it to the shop.
