Andrew, great thread!!, I have been going to snett for more years than i care to remember (now 47) and remember most all of the races.
On top af all the other types of racing there was also a banger track on the inside of the home straight and also did you know we even tried a truck with a view to racing them there.They would not go under the old road bridge.
I even worked there as a full time marshal during the week for 3 years and have great memories of 80+ cars/120 bikes a day for testing or F1/Gp C teams for "exclusives".
I also have 1945 plans for the airfield and would recomend the book "Snetterton Eagles" for a histoy of the 96th bomb group.
One of my best modern day memories was seeing the unofficial lap record set by a Benetton F1 car(Nanini i think) and equaled on the same day by the Silk Cut jag.
From the old days pick any one of the (13) 24hr races,8 of which i was chief pits.
Please keep the great pics coming
Chris
