If anyone is in the area of Snetterton on Sunday, come and say hello. Spend some money and get a ride around the track with me (if your brave enough) in Lance and donate to charity

I won't be attending, but is Snetterton a good track to do track days on? I quite fancy doing one there next year.

It is an easy track to drive but Coram driven properly cretes massive tyre wear on left side, so drive it slowly. 2 very fast straights (152 MPH) though ended with very good corners & the famous bombhole.

Doubt I'd be getting up to 150+ on a 600cc bike! Have watched a few videos of it, looks good. If I can find 2 track days back to back I'll do them next year. Quite a long way for just one day

Well having recovered from the day, I took 21 paying passengers out and raised £1890.00 (£90 per ride).
I used over 2 tanks of fuel, but what a great day. Some of you should come out and give a ride to some very appreciative people and raise some money in the process.

I see on the East Anglian thread the Murciélago had a 360 moment. With Bruce having to avoid someone elses 'flying bonnet'  it could have been a little expensive for one or two but fortunately no major issues I believe. I didnt leave Norwich until about 4.30ish and it was down to 1degree most of the way home - hmm winter tyres????  Actually using common sense and respect the Hedge Finder tyres worked well really. PS had another listen to Lance as I walked back to my car - sounds like such a pussycat

How did the car drive..? Have done similar for Stroke Association at Combe but noise limits are getting tighter everywhere  What was the Snetts limit?

The car was awesome, I really now know what the boys at BR have achieved and it is a different beast. Sadly I need some additional silencing as it was static 107 and drive-by 96. The limit on drive-by was 92 . However after being warned, the marshal told me where I was to run in silent mode and where I could run whatever I liked . They especially required the full noise past the pits because a crowd of marshalls had gathered just to hear it go by.....
