(although im prepared to travel) which i can really hammer around in my mr2- more likely losing the tail (controlling it hopefully!) and have a bit of a play..... Same as me. Ive found it a bit of a nightmare to find a decent track down here. Thats a bit of a drive though. There is HUGE run off. Ive been there and found it very good. http://www.motorsport-events.co.uk/calendar-2008.pdf-----------------------------------------
"you spin you come in policy" that extends to "3+ spins thats your day over" and a "you hit a cone 20min sin bin" on events if cones get hit much. Last Colerne day I went on with them they went as far as banning anyone who hit a cone after 3pm for the rest of the day."car limits" style day?'02 VX220 2.2 n/a Daily driver - Exige Size TD 1.2 - TAT shorty Diffuser - HardTop - Chris Tullet 4-1 Manifold.'97 mk1 Mazda Eunos Turbo track car with 260bhp/ton - soon more as Chris Wilsons going to build me an engine over the winter 
) . Think I might attend that one. Very local.MSE don't appreaciate people spinning, clipping cones etc so I would advise against using them if you want to try and get the back end out but don't have the confidence NOT to spin it.

If they are going to be that tough then it does beg the question why the pitch these days as a way of finding the limits of your car and your ability when if you touch a cone or spin its game over? 
***RIP Car13 ****** Now in an Evo *** The "spin, and you come in" policy is a good one imo. Generally speaking, if you've spun then you may have done damage to the car / collected some grass / mud etc and its worth checking. No issues. Thats harsh though. Its at North Weald near Harlow. http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=105592

I span once, came in, checked car, went out again straight away.
Anyone clipping a cone from 3pm onwards was banned?!!
Guys who took out cones got treated differently, quite a telling off. In all fairness the day when they were telling people in pit lane on the way out that if they hit a cone its the end of their day the track had been closed a silly amount of times within the 1st hour of the afternoon. I can't remember if that was Abingdon or Colerne. I think with the cone thing its fair enough, cones should be treated as armco, makesure you don't push too hard through them. The wide open sweeping bends don't have cones or anything in the way, these are the areas to push harder. Such a wide area that if you do spin a) you don't hit anything cones, grass etc b) if you do ended facing backward theres so much room your easy to avoid by other people.'02 VX220 2.2 n/a Daily driver - Exige Size TD 1.2 - TAT shorty Diffuser - HardTop - Chris Tullet 4-1 Manifold.'97 mk1 Mazda Eunos Turbo track car with 260bhp/ton - soon more as Chris Wilsons going to build me an engine over the winter ) . 
i think you can even hire it for the day but thats alot of pennies ive done the whole track on me bike for a charity do which included the 2 mile straight but the car track may be shorter ..... im not sure never done it me 2 bit a way to travel but worth a check on the internet. And (if ure into that sort of thing) there a a load of raf jets to have gander at vulcan bomber about 5 bae lightnings heard them test the engines f**king hell it was loud. Anyway worth a gander at mate might do something for you'real' track and you'll find purpose built run offs and no cones, go to an airfield and it can be like speeding through a contraflow, i've span off in several cars on several tracks and never suffered anything bigger than a bruised ego, i span off once on an airfield and suffered a destroyed exhaust, car covered in cone paint and acquired so much moss i'm still digging it out now
