kickstart should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
As someone who has raced for nearly 20 years I do the odd track day and generally enjoy myself. I tend to use a road car for track days which is very different to my race car and hence I don't feel the need to drive it as hard.
Racing and track days are very different and if I do more than a couple of track days a year I get rather bored with them. Test days are there for racers to drive quickly without any of the overtaking restrictions.
Personally I do not follow the problem about not overtaking on corners, most people let you through very quickly (as I always do to a faster car) and if they dont then just back off and give yourself some room - just like qualifying...
Lastly, having raced with the 750MC for the last couple of years I would say that the costs of competing in say locost or stock hatch would be less than maybe 50% of people spend on track days.
