Was wondering what people do with their open wheeled single seaters other than hill climbs as I'm considering buying or building a small, bike engined one next winter once the mnr is road legal,used for next year and possibly sold depending on price,
I would ideally like a bike engined,very light weight one which is relatively cheap ( £7,500 or under) but would not just want to use it 4-5 times a year. Can you do track days with these type of cars as I can't afford to participate in any type of race series! I already have a trailer so could tow to track days and would not want it road legal!
At the moment this is all speculation as I may love the mnr if the weather improves around here and may keep it for a few years!

How about a sprint series?? There are some that use race circuits and you do 1, 2 or 3 laps. You could even have a go in the mnr first see how you like it.

How expensive are they to do? And with me living in Cumbria, the amount of travelling could be huge if I am competing

Perfectly placed to enter the Wigton Motor Club's cross border challenge:
2012 Brockbanks Solicitors Cross Border Speed Championship
The list of events is as follows with the best 6 of the 8 scores to count:

Cross Border Speed Championship 2012

Nation Round Club Venue Date Day Event
S 1 EACC Kames April 14th Sun Sprint
S 2 York Teesside June 4th M Sprint
E 3 KLMC Barbon June 16th Sa Hill Climb
S 4 SoSCC High Auldgirth July 22nd Sun Hill Climb
E 5 Longton Three Sisters Aug 5th Sun Sprint
S 6 MSCC Forrestburn Aug 26th Sun Hill Climb
E 7 BARC Harewood Sept 23rd Sun Hill Climb
S 8 WMC Kames Sept 30th Sun Sprint

Looks good but will be 2013 before I have it ready to go! Cheers mate

Another option is for Test Days (as opposed to Track Days).

Basically a track day for 'proper' race cars. You'll need an MSA license and safety gear. There may also be a sound restriction on some events.
Need to be cautious as there will be seriously quick machinery/drivers approaching at a rate of knots behind you unless you are driving something pretty special.
