Default TrackDay in A MK4 Van?

just wondering if it would be worth doing a trackday or 2 in a mk4 van as i know theres not normally alot of weight over the rear wheels etc just wondered if it would be any good and worth taking out.. mines got avo coilies on the front and de-cambered rear leaf springs lol plus polybushed. they cant be much different to a combi.?
Cheers! Neil
