If i can drive for 4 hours and over 200 miles to get there then surely most other people would have to drive less miles! I left my house at 4am to get there for 8 and spent the hole day driving and then drove home, all on my own. At the beginning of the day i had second thoughts about actually turning up because the weather looked crap and i really couldn't be bothered to drive all that way...............but once i had done a few laps i was loving it and couldn't get enough, hence the 24 runs i did. 
I think people shouldn't be put off by thinking they need to push their cars to the limits because as barrie has said you DONT!!!! I went away with a better understanding of handling my car and had great fun and thats what track days are about, the only let down of the day was the fact that there where no other lexus (other than dave) on the track. Even Chris and Aztec turned up to watch and i think that was enough to get them interested in joining in next time!?!?!?

Hats off to you Jason...........
As I said on the day have a think about joining Barrie & me in the Toyota Sprint Series..........£80 per event
Take the seats out fit a lighweight drivers seat and your power to weight ratio will not be far from a full fat IS200 s/c
Already thought about that on the way home Dave and im about 80% yes at the moment, even if i finish last in every event i get to do some great tracks at a dirt cheap price!!!! and i will be able to get the car to a level i want. As discussed before i want to keep it N/A but get it to handle on rails with maybe a little more power
Jason
would be great to see you entered.
You'll get a lot of press attention and have a good laugh
get your Toyo tyres ar trade prices as well...........
your main gain will be lightening the car............look for lightweight wheels.............you can get some that are 4kg each..............power to weight ratio.............way to go
bit of a budget buster but alloy front brake calipers are a good idea ...also give you bigger rotors to brake later & herder.............harder even...........
Think i may just do it then Dave!
What do i need to do to register? and when is the first dates so i know when to be ready by? Don't think budget will stretch to bigger brakes yet but i can start looking for parts and loosing weight now!
Jason
log on to www.toyota-sprint-series.com join up and there is lots of stuff on their.
best to register your interest early doors there are quite a few people interested.
Not a lot to do to your car other tha what we said....yellow tape arounf the negative batt terminal lead...

It all sounds great Dave,
