when your driving is limited to 4,5 or maybe 6 runs of between one and two laps it really concentrates your mind and is so much more intense than a track day. Add to that the often very close competition where one tiny slip will cost you several places, it gets very exciting and not a little scary. But the real beauty of sprinting and hill climbs is the rhythm of the day, preparing yourself and the car for the next run then coming down afterwards and comparing times and videos, before preparing again. The day goes by so fast and with such a nice bunch of like minded and fun people, well most of them anyway!! I started at the intro to sprinting day 7 years ago and am now completely addicted. Its really worth a try whatever you preconceptions. Tony Did I ever mention that I was once 2nd in class at Blyton!!!
