The day day is coming (hopefully) when I am ready to run the car on the track does anybody know cheap place to test run car in he south east? Ernie

Not south east, but an easy run from you along the M4 - I use Llandow just west of Cardiff. £65 for 3 hrs, or £120 for whole day. Also has a mix of slow and fast bends unlike sprint tracks.
