Cadwell Park 10th September
Discussion
Round objects to that lot.
As Phazed says, I won't be taping my lights and won't be bringing car docs.
Famous last words, but in about 40 track days I have never had a headlight smash, never mind a rear light.
Cadwell Park is swept clear of all stones, and as far as I recall there are no gravel traps.
The most important advice is to drive within your limits if it is wet - a good proportion of the grass at the side of the track slopes downhill to the Armco, and you don't stand the slightest chance of stopping the thing on wet grass if you stray off the hard stuff.

Would suggest its not a bad idea driving within your limits if its dry too, cars don't slow much on dry grass either 
Think you just missed a comma..

Just now, BBC Weather forecast for tomorrow:
"Tomorrow, it will be a mostly dry start to the day with cloudy skies.
In the afternoon, it will continue to be cloudy, and there may be a few heavy and thundery showers."
So just like the first TVRCC track day I did in 2013.
We drove home on track tyres in a total cloudburst, car running on about 5 cylinders and skating all over the A46 dual carriageway...at 25 mph.
But until about 4 pm it was a great day when the heavens opened.
My best beloved came with me and managed several passenger rides.
She is profoundly deaf, and the upside is she never gets car sick.
Though she did declare she was wearing the wrong colour trousers.
Her fault for saying "don't you go any faster?" at the end of the sighting laps.
Going over the outside rumble kerbs whilst braking from 120 mph at Park Corner was what prompted the above comment.
Here's hoping the weather holds tomorrow and we all have a safe and fun time.

Met office gives dry all day with less than % chance of rain.
