Already on the case on this one......spoke to Thruxton yesterday and they will get back to me next Monday as the circuit manager is on holiday until then.

Would there be room for a snake in that car park or should we come in the misses car?

May come along if its not raining as I have been meaning to get to a GT this season to see the Vette’s, shame there are not any vipers though.

I am sure we can find a nice rock in the corner of the car park for the snake to hide under.......

Failing that bring the 2002 Coupe and you can park it next to Mr Testicle's one and you can compare notes!

Any plans for meeting up - where when etc?????

Went along yesterday, some good racing, with some aggressive moves by some of the 'Vette drivers

The Noble retired due to mechanical problems which was a pity as it was running well, and I think a 360 took off one of the Moslers in the first race, which again was a pity as it just seemed to zoom off into the distance.

Got a lovely shot of 'Vette 46 spinning down the start/finish grid, and in the second race he turned into the back of a yellow 360 taking it off and almost himself.

Got to be said the 'Vettes engines sounded awesome

....er...not sure what race you were watching, but there wasn't a number 46, and even if there was it certainly wasn't a vette!
They were #51, #55 and #63.

[Dakkon]

Err the dark blue one, must have been 63 then...oops, once he had hit the 360 though in the second race I think he must have damaged his suspension as he languished at the back for the entire race and his car squirmed all over the place coming into the compex under braking.

[vetteheadracer]

#63 is the blue Jensen Motorsport one that runs in the NGT class. Don't think it is doing very well......
