No, you can get a quick release hub, but personally I don't see any reason to.

It would go on the track car and would make getting in and out easier due to the racing seat.

Isotta boss kits work with MOMO wheels generally. Much cheaper then genuine MOMO items

By the way, it's really difficult to find a hub that is listed to fit in first gens, but the 2nd gen hubs are the same size and work perfectly.

FYI guys you can also use the hub to fit a 90-97 miata...the only issue i ran into was that the adapter is just a hair larger that the plined shaft(then again could've just been my shaft was worn) but i lined the splines w/ aluminum foil and shoved/tightened the adapter on and it fits like a glove....sooo much more fun to get sideways without te bus-driver wheel....
