Javelin sprint days
Discussion
Mazda On Track used to do them at Blyton Park, but it wasnt advertised much and stopped due to low turnouts and not being viable because of that.
Shame, they were a lot of fun. It was run as an open pitlane in the morning followed by a couple of practice sprint laps after dinner and then down to business with the proper timed laps.
We used to have some really good scraps, I remember on the last one there was 0.04 seconds seperating mine and a friends CRX at one point, amazing how competetive and serious it was when the green light came on the line.
Good days. If they could get the numbers (40 would be good) then they would run them again.

Just think if you never had the Fz201 rubber you may have been quicker 
The Mitsubishi Lancer Register run a nice series with seven events taking place this year, more details below.

I did the round at Croft last year and it was a very good day; relaxed, good craic, my brakes and tyres didn't get the same prolonged use as on a trackday, and the fact it is a competition adds an extra element compared to regular trackday! I intend to do as much of the series as I can this year (hopefully all bar the first round).
I'm signed up with Sprint and Trackday who do days every month at curborough and have now set up a sprint championship with Motorpunk. really good days and whilst its not the size of Blyton its surprisingly technical and hard to get properly right when your chasing that extra second. Theyre main aim is to get people introduced to track days and sprinting with little risk and low cost along with a nice friendly atmosphere and more importantly a chip run at lunch!!
quick write up from motorpunk on the 1st event of the year which I missed but I shall be there this month and march.

First round took place last week, great turnout despite the weather. I would thoroughly recommend it. This is the second proper season and there is now a decent number of regulars to make it competitive. It is still shared with the Toyota Sprint Series so there is normally about 50-60 cars in total at each event.
Blyton, assuming its dry, is a good fast circuit. Looking forward to seeing a couple of new cars there.

Second round at Blyton - great weather and over 30 cars in the Sprint series alone. All the different classes mean that you can find someones time to chase whether you're in a Radical or a road going hatchback.
Woodbridge next on the 21st June. It's an airfield circuit so the layout varies and is a different experience to a track round, lots of surface changes etc. It is really gathering momentum at so looking forward to seeing another great turn out.

Having spectacularly failed to get my car ready in time for the last two rounds, I'm booked in for Woodbridge as well. I've done a handful of trackdays and watched the Javelin sprint a few times (I'm a friend of the chap with the zombified MR2) but this will be my first time competing. Bit nervous as the only other person in my class has a 'proper' Caterham 
Looking forward to seeing your Alfa in action again
