    Default Racing

    What are the facilities for racing like in your area/ country?
    In ireland there around 3 big tracks but are not always open for public use. Tackdays are maybe once a month. There is the odd bit of Illegal street racing but is nothing like america.
    What is it like where you are?

    scotlands gash!

    knockhill is the only real major track there is and you could class that as a sprint track with laptimes under a min for the realy fast cars,

    after that theres east fortune but that never gets used due to noise complaints,

    after that there are a whole heap of hill climb, sprint tracks,

    tis a shame as south of the border they have rakes of decent tracks

    Yeah Mondello here in irelansd can run a national and international circuit. The national has sub-minute times nad the international would be around 2 minutes.

    I Jamaica there is only one dedicated circuit. They have a series for non-roll caged cars called IP45. Its restricted to lap times of 1:45 and passing is controlled. I should be there next year.

    Kirkistown Racetrack gets all my attention. Only two minutes down the road too which is handy.
