Track Day alternative ....
Discussion
If the idea of a track day appeals, but you dont like the risks and / or the costs this may be of interest. The link gives an idea:

Its an informal 'round the cones' organised by Car Limits at North Weald J7 of the M11. It has some distinct advantages:
1. No noise limits
2. Its cheap (I booked through a club membership but it was only £30)
3. No crash helmets needed
4. Runs are timed (strictly forbidden on track days)
5. Its as safe as they get (one car out at a time - and almost nothing to hit !!)
The down side is its bumpy and the surface is rough in parts so fairly hard on tyres.
Thought I would flag it up as an option as there have been a few threads on track days before, and this seems suitable if anyone wants to try pushing their car without the risks of a full on track day.
