I am thinking of buying a track car but is there alot of sprint racing / hill climbs etc going on in our area. I am just wondering will I get alot of use from it ?
You've already got one!
Harewood, 6-8 events per year.
Sprint at Croft, Cadwell.
Track days at Croft and Cadwell.
Lots to do, free time I find is the use constraint.

Yeah maybe, is this the TR7 you mentioned before ?
Can you get me some pictures, engine spec etc as I am offshore at the moment.
If you can get anything please send it to my email address. Cheers Andy

No licence as yet can you advise on how to get one.
As I understand it, if you do Club events there is an exception allowing you to take part in competitive events without a Competition Licence. The simplest route I am aware of to get a Competition Licence is to do it through your local motor club. D&DMC www.darlington-motor-club.org.uk helps local people get their licence. Race Circuits often do training too, it may be worth contacting Croft Circuit. Good article on "getting started" section on www.wigtonmc.co.uk site relating to speed events

Thanks
Yesterday I finally got my new toy. And what a toy.
It looks nothing from the outside, a 1993 polo coupe, lovely body work set of alloys and sitting a bit lower than stock.
Now the good bit .... mid mounted 1.8 cupra r motor modified to 350 ish bhp using ball bearing turbo with external wastegate and screamer pipe bigger injectors etc also runs a charge cooler aquamist and 100 shot of nitrous, and all in a car that weighs about 850 kg
Timed figures of 0-60 in 3.4 1/4 mile in low 12s.
Will post pictures when I get the chance.
