Default Practicing

I've raced once in 14 year, and that was 3 month ago.

There is no racing now for 2 weeks, and even when it's back on I won't be able to attend every week because it's on a Sunday, and its the only day me and the wife get off together.

What do people do when they want to practice in between races, especially for people like me that need to get a feel for the car or learn how to drive the car.

I could take it on tarmac, but it kills tyres and doesn't really give me a feel of how the car will drive in a sports hall with bits of carpet.

I know a lad who works in a leisure centre, and I'm starting to wonder whether I should ask him if I can nip in and use one of their halls one day. They have a hall that they hardly use, but they might want to charge me the full hourly rate for it.

What do other people do, or are you all crazy about racing that you travel around your region racing at every possible opportunity?

It's doing my nut in that I can't really use the car for a fortnight, not without killing a set of tyres anyway.
