Do you know if they're applying their usual "no track cars" rule?

TBH, I don't know! - I didn't know they had that rule, all the ones I have been on have allowed anything

Just booked for Snetterton this coming Wednesday 11th August. Phoned in and spoke re the car (has a cage, race seat, stripped etc). Was just asked 'will you be driving to the track in it' and 'has it got license plates'. That appears to be enough so that it's not seen as a "track car"

Look forward to it. Anyone else going? :P

Heh heh. That was fun. Think I might need ear plugs next time, it's bloody loud with no seats, trim, soundproofing etc. Didn't really notice until the drive home though.

The slippery slope has begun. Better tyres, bushes, suspension, driving skills (instruction) beckon.

DHFis, nice to meet you there. Hope see you at another one soon. :mad:

Nice to meet you guys too, hope your journey home was a bit quicker. Let me know if you book another track day as I might try and join although I think I've definitely used all my grace on the 'Novice' days. Welcome to the slippery slope.

Yeah it was a lot better thanks and it was quite nice to jump in the van a set the cruise control!! Only took a few hours to get home.

Hopefully i'll see you on a track somewhere soon. Just incase you didn't get sent the link from Chris, here are the pics he took.

Do you know if anyone else was taking any? I'm surprised the track didnt have there own photographer? Cant see any on there website.
