Advice on what type of car is allowed on track day

[igg]

As a complete contrast to my everyday car I drive a Bugatti type 35 replicar. As it's on cross plies, has no roll over cage, or anything in the way of safety I was wondering if there were any track day events where I would be allowed to be the slowest on the track and just enjoy drifting it round the corners (it does v.nice 4 wheel drifts even at low speeds!).
Do I need a roll cage?
Are there any track days for sad slow gits like me?
Can I have my 12year old son as a passenger.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Igg

At our trackdays you can drive as slow as you like as long as you are courteous and allow the faster drivers past you.

Gooning is the most fun at airfields where there is nothing more than a cone to hit if it goes wrong !

Minimum passenger age varies at different circuits, we tend to go on size rather than age at an airfield

I cant see a roll cage being a criteria at all... laods of cars go tracking without them.... you just need a helmet to a specific standard I think..

Thanks Andy - if you see a dark blue contraption at 60mph with white knuckled driver holding on - that'll be me!

I thought that was me . . . oh it's okay, you said 'dark' blue

I followed a genuine 1930s Monaco GP winning Bugatti round Mallory on a track day. Gloroious sound and very quick until the left rear wheel came off down the back straight. I had noticed a wobble and fortunately stayed back and dashed into the paddock as the wheel bounced from one side to the other. The Bugatti managed to stop in a straight line fortunately.

Wheels coming off Bugatti type 35's appears to be not unknown - as far as I know the Type35 was the first car in the world to have alloy wheels with the brakes as part of the casting.
My copy has 18" wire wheels made in India held on with knock-on spinners which seem to work loose every 500 miles or so! Haven't lost a wheel yet, although another guy with a 35 copy managed to split the rim of one of this wire wheels when pushing on a bit!
