Any track days at BIR before August???? I see there is one this weekend but I cant make that, my strut will be fixed next week and im ITCHING to get up to BIR.
Dream aka Nightmare: unfortunately I am not able to find any local clubs holding an at BIR till August. If there is its not on their calendar. Erik if your serious about high speed BIR, I highly recommend doing some local low speed courses before hitting BIR. It could become a nightmare!

Chong, Thanks for the info. I got your voicemail too btw. Ive done a few aarrf events in the past and kinda know what its all about, just not HIGH speed stuff. Ill definetly be using my head on that track, I dont plan on going up there and pushing my car to the limit; I know ill wreck doing that and ide hate to see my car in pieces!
