Yes, there were a few people sleeping in their cars. It was probably warmer and drier than a tent!
Yep, lost almost half a tank of petrol leaving that bloody heater on all night, though. hehe

Just got in after joining pissed on heads.

Weather was appauling, so we decided to leave after our gazebo headed for the track (its still there mangled) and our tents started falling apart!

More info later, off to bed!!

I was only there for the day racing in the BMW Kumho, but spoke to quite a few PH'ers in the pits who spotted the "Pistonheads Speed Matters" stickers on the car smile

Unfortunately I was only there for the day but will definately spend the whole weekend if it doesn't clash with a race elsewhere next year. Shame about the weather, but everyone looked to enjoying themselves and making the best of a very soggy weekend. It was like a mini Le Mans smile

Top marks for those who stuck it out all weekend smile

Good luck with the next one

Cheers smile I went from 18th to 7th by the second corner and crossed the line in 9th at the end of lap 1 biggrin Alas I knew it wouldn't last but spent the rest of the race defending and crossed the line 13th of 23 in my 3rd ever race so was very pleased smile

I thought it was a great weekend, despite the weather. I didn't stay Sunday night due to the weather, but I go the chance to meet so many PHers, watch some good racing and have a chilled out bank holiday.

The only abiding memory is the bloody yank security guard....what a tosser! First bringing down the donut competition (which I merely witnessed) and then turning off the music on Saturday night....someone was on a power trip furious

The fecker wouldn't let me into snetterton without a refundable £12 ticket. Yes, to be fair I didn't have a wristband, but I had a sticker - and he was being an arse.
Addressed him as a "big wr" when the money had changed hands again nuts

Just got in now, still damp and smelly, after a 3½ hour drive (had to detour via Guildford to drop our lad's mate off).

Just about to hit the showers and hopefully emerge looking and smelling less like a tramp.

Nice meeting all those I did, whether I remembered who you were or not. thumbup

And remember folks - no ball games. Not even if you like bumsex. hehe

What he said ^ (except for the Guildford bit)

Nice to meet you Jon and the others I hadn't before. Good to catch up with the rest of you too.

Looking forward to the next one somewhere other than Snetterton...

Just got home. Chickened out and booked into a Travelodge last night after my tent decided to dump several pints of icy water into my bed at 4am on Sunday morning. irked

I met more people than I'd care to try and list, kept up with Kermit on a run out to Yarmouth, had a ride in a Bentley to a very yummy pub lunch, won an argument with a security guard (yep, that one bounce ) and generally survived rather well!

Wicked fun, even though I missed the track time completely sleep and seem to have developed a chest infection. boxedin
