Just be careful, thats all I can say! I organised, participated in and enjoyed Mini track days in the past, but then my friend rolled his valuable, freshly restored car (very easy to do actually) and was very lucky indeed to escape serious injury. Car was written off.
I now realise I was very, very lucky and unless I could afford to be in the MINI Cooper Challenge or something, I wouldn't take my car anywhere near a track now.
Yes I'm sure we've all heard of someone or know someone who has had an incident <ahem> 'just outside' a motoring event like this
Lots of tears at the expense at the very least, and some aren't so lucky!
Know of someone else (who very unfortunately through something unrelated is no longer with us :() who trashed his beloved Mini at a track day down south (on his birthday of all days!!) He was a ver lucky boy that day.
