what are the facilities like? i.e. if i bring my kids along (<7) are they likely to be run over while i'm taking shots? that would be hard to explain to my wife :)

also.. what is the entry cost?

If you stay clear of the pits you can get around to the side where the little ones can sit in your car along side the fence you can rest on the car while taking pics. well thats what I did about a month ago. you could take your car in and drive round the outside of the track (cause its to far to walk..LoL)
I'm prety sure entry is free again and it starts around 12p and goes to 5.30p
If you can make it send me an email and I will send you my mob number. (saves looking all round for another guy with a D70) ;-)

The last car shots of yours I saw had scantily-clad women draped over the bonnets but I'm sure you'll come up with some top shots despite the lack of hood ormanents. :wink:
