hey everyone, with Vmax200 no longer running events and Brunters closed, are there any options for a safe, airfield top speed type event anymore?

It says on the link "over 2 miles".
Yes saw that, however most sites advertise total length and not runway length, so 2 mile could actually be only 1 mile. As an example brunters states 4.2miles however straight runway is 2 miles. I’m hoping to find something like that again

From what I can see Abingdon only do "track days" not just a straight line "airfield day". Problem with a track day is that I'd be nervous someone will take me out, not something that's going to happen in a straight line event. I can only see Elvington available for such events unless anyone knows another location?
