Snettaton 8th of oct

[HVAC MATT]

As Title who is going? few people hear did mention it on a diffrent thread that I now cant find. thinking of heading up thursday after work and getting a hotel if there is any room and he inn

[Monumental]

I'll be there in my dark blue Eunos Roadster, being passed by everyone on the loooong straights. Come and say hello!

I only live an hour away so I'll travel up on the morning but it will mean a painfully early start

[handpaper]

I'm there; look out for a red E30 Touring. Currently on winter tyres, I may not bother changing them!

[HVAC MATT]

Ill have a little walk around the pits after iv had my first few laps. looking like a good day as most cars I know that are going arnt 300bhp rockets. im going down with a mx-5, new clio sport, and a VW VR6 thing (not a golf). Ill most likley take the bullet cam with me so feel free to wave as you pass and ill put my video onto facebook when its done.

I'm instructing on that one so make sure you keep me busy

[stuartj]

I'll be out for a bit of testing....

[andrewturner]

Quality day today... hi to all of you that I met.

I was the chappy in the light blue mx5 mostly spinning.

[Monumental]

I had a great day too.

Just realised that this was the first track day where I managed not to spin. Pat on the back to me

Any links to video footage? Would be great to see some. Was there an official photographer?

[V8mate]

Really wanted to go today but had a meeting I couldn't get out of.

As said, the mix of less extreme cars made it very attractive.

Why were people spinning; the weather was perfect wasn't it?

[andrewturner]

Weather was perfect, we had a few spins in the mx5 due to the new tyres I'd not used before. Got a set of pilot sport cups that seem to grip, grip, grip..... No grip

The last tyres we had were the hankook rs2's and they were a bit more predictable.

Oh, and that I lack quite a lot of talent

Cracking day & I think thats now 3 difernet circuits I've seen that blue mx spinning

They were trying to find the limit and occasionally passing it ?

I had a great day. Slight off before lunch, but it I was back out again in the afternoon. Had a good few laps with HVAC MATT, never saw him in the pits though.


I was in this.

Lol, this is true mr lizard.

Good to see you again, you should bring your mx next time, we need to finish our race.

I'm sure you mean non-competitive comparison of the two cars and drivers Andrew

Were you the guy with the long hair? if so thanks are in order, must have left all the tallent at home as is was all over the place in the morning. 30min of advise after lunch and I started to feel much more composed and balcanced. these silly mid engined sports cars do need to be treated with alot more respect than old FWD cars.

[HVAC MATT]

RE photos. Nick from http://www.xtremesportsphotography.net/ has got a load. but ull have to get hold of him via his mobile [phone]

[Steve H]
