Can I go racing for £100 or less?

[captainaverage]

Is it possible to go to a 'bring your own car' track day (full) in under £100? If so where would you recommend? Within England would be ideal.

Cheers.

Go drag racing!

Do a RWYB at Santa Pod, £35 to enter your car for the day and unlimited runs down the 1/4 mile.

That's already on the list

Proper racing, for £100.

That's not racing then?

Not sure. A couple of friends bringing their own cars and possibly setting lap times/competing etc within their own beginner limits might be considered as a form of 'racing'. It definitely would be on a public road.

If not then please enlighten me?

And just as on the road, it will get you in trouble. Timing and racing will get you chucked out of most track days.

I see, so then no racing. What I am looking for is a track day then.

No timing allowed on trackdays.....even covertly by mates on the pit wall IIRC>

Can you suggest any track days? Saw Bedford autodrome for about £150 which isn't bad. What does 'open pit' mean?

What about sprinting

National B non race licence at around £30
Some of the airfield events used to be around £70 and you can use your every day road car

I just looked that up. Is it the same as hill climbing? If so, it tells me what I need to do to my car to enter but it also says I need to be invited. How can I set myself up for an invitation? Do you know any car clubs that do this?

Cheers

Not racing, but driving against the clock - Autosolo/Autotest.

Many small motor clubs organise these on car parks at weekends, and you get as many runs around the course as daylight and the m=number of competitors allows,for about £20. (?)
Massive fun, no licence, no safety gear, no modifications.

(Not my club, just a good demo)

Can you please suggest some clubs as an example? Will an ordinary car club for a specific car do these? Thanks
