It was in last months, I've just been a lazy git and haven't booked it until today. Spoke to the TVRCC and there are places available. Didn't check how many there are though.

The chim should be in rude health after some Mark Adams magic...

I haven't seen that. If it is a TVR organised trackday then I could be interested as I'm insured; although Norfolk is a world away from me.

I booked it last month and then managed to injure my Chim. Hope to have it back in time though

Fantastic! Good to see a bunch of us going. Anyone heading up from London? Fancy a convoy type thing (as I haven't got a clue where I'm going )

I'm going up from Essex if you want to tag on, as its a weekday i'll probably use the A12 though, whereabouts in London are you coming from?

I'll probably crash over at a mates house in Shadwell the night before, as I'm SW London so it would be a real pisser of an early start to get across town and then all the way to Snetterton too.

I'll probably be doing A12, M11, possibly A12 but don't really know after that. I haven't checked out directions yet.

Anyone else?

hi Rob
M11/A11 is very straightforward as Snetters is about 1 minute from the A11, you really can't get lost.
The A12 route goes: A12 to Ipswich, A14 west to Needham market, A140 to Scole,(shell Optimax just before Scole)A1066 through Diss to Garboldisham, B1111 north which brings you to the A11 approx 1 mile south of Snetters.
It sounds a bit turny but its quite simple, just watch out for cameras on the A140 some of the dual carriageway parts are 40MPH

The A1066 is a simply awesome piece of road. Enjoy!

If anyone needs further info then yell as I'm the TVRCC track day organisor for Snetterton (as I have been for the last 6 years!)

As of last week we only had about 15 places left, and I know that a few Noble and Lloyds Motor Club members were keen to bag some places.....

Looking forward to bringing the car over to England for its annual hoon. Snetterton on the 13th (with Goldtrack) and on 15th with the car club, so hope to have the hang of it by the second visit.

nervous - apguy informed me that it is actually called bumhole: after the motorcylists pain!

apguy - got any recommendations for hotels with safe car parks nearby (and some good food).

Looking forward to catching up some like-minded tvr drivers!
