Thumbs up

Loglickychops, the guy who runs Skysport, Roger Hayes, is mad keen on handicapped air racing (as described recently in Today's Pilot) and offers Royal Aero Club race training for people with 200 hrs P1. Hot ships not required. You can even race in a Cub. I flew with Rog during one race in his Bulldog. Silly but quite fun: flying flat out at 500 feet agl close to other aircraft and cranking 3G turns.

You can also do introductory aeros course on the Dog (more fun than a Cessna Aerobat, less fun than a Firefly, Pitts or Cap 10), and the Pups are semi-aerobatic as well (basic loops and rolls). Even the Pup 100 can just about stagger through a loop, but don't try that unless you are high up and well current on stall/spin recoveries as it doesn't carry much energy. Give it a go.
