Trackday - Snetterton 22 September

[Barry S1]

Are you going then Steve ? I could hold them up you could have the lot of them, I think that's how it works in Gp ;-)

[Top Gear TVR]

Barry S1. I thought it was a goer but its seems you need an eye-fone or something.

Otherwise yeah, why not

[Top Gear TVR]

Max wouldn't dare come this far east I am sure? we could always add a sunday coast run for fish and chips and an overnight?

[Barry S1]

Apart from le Mans and spa and the Ring and the odd mountain run, this would be my first track day,don't think I can get away with the Sunday as going on holiday later in the same week

Defo in.

will the Chimaera club accommodation be ready by then Richard?

I'm hoping so Peter... we're somewhere between exchange and completion... still away and not much leave between now and youngest sprog's wedding end of August, but if all goes well should be moved in by beginning of September and have beds too

[Top Gear TVR]

It appears I may have booked on two dates at Snetterton

22nd September 2014 and the evening of 7th August 2014 Car Make / Model: TVR S2 2.9

Some people overlook the importance of beds, they are necessary.

Right, they didn't do sound testing of the cars yesterday so I'll book Snetterton this week and sort out a sound check for Samy for Croft (the OH has an iphone so can download the 10thdecibel app).

...are you sure your brakes will be up to it? ...

[Top Gear TVR]

hopefully all the bits will be here this weekend. It depends whether I get left alone this weekend enough to make enough progress?

[mk1fan]

My mate atom111 is coming in his GT86 and is booking a garage so I'll be sharing with him. I'll be booked tomorrow along with Oulton Park in November.

Not doing Croft (yet).

Now, where are all these Chim boys? Come on!

Booked on see you there,

Also doing Bedford again on 23rd August, little bit pricey at £199 but it's a Saturday and avoids the need for a day off work.

Rather dimly I posted this on the wrong thread, Anyhoo, the Saturday at Bedford is with MSV if anyone fancies it, if not I'll see you all at Snetts in September.

I have just booked for the 22nd at Snetterton, also coming with me is a Porsche Cayman S, E46 M3, TVR Tuscan 4.3 and a Honda'd Lotus Exige.

[MPoxon]

Booked on now though.

Not really, the Lotus has 400BHP and weighs 750Kg, until Jason get in it. That slows it down some what.

The Tuscan driver has a short right leg, car is quick.

Cayman is quick but needs more power

E46 is just another M3 but is quite well driven by Mark.

We are staying at the Breckland Lodge as normal on the Sunday night, if any one else is staying there it seems an opportunity for a beer or two.

[ChilliWhizz]

I live 15 minutes away, a beer and a chinwag sounds good Oh, and I might have some house guests to bring along too

[NickOrangeTVR]

I have booked up and my Dad will be bringing along the Red 4.0 Chim (unless it sells before then!)

[mk1fan]

Looks like I'll be in Tamy not Samy.

[fatboychim]

Well I'm glad to say I will make it to Snetterton after leaving Bedford the other week with a nasty rattle coming from the front of the engine.
Turns out it was nothing more than the Cat rattling in the Y piece.
A big thank you to QBee for not only lending me his spare Y piece but delivering it as well and to Mat Smith Sportscars for diagnosing it so quickly.
There was a 2 week wait for a decat y piece so without Anthonys help I would have missed out.
