Just found this thread as well!
I marshalled at Snetts from 62 to 82 when moved from East Anglia to Wiltshire, so many days were spent at Snetts.
Memories include first ever day on the bank...Russell when a really quick " flick right/flick left" and European saloon cars; pulling formula fords out of the ' lytag' gravel trap at the hairpin at the end of the long straight; flagging on the narrow bank in the middle of the Esses with T70s a flags length away (!) and a steep drop behind you; first 24 hour races with 4 hours on & 4 off with a "dawn patrol" stint at Sear; picking up go kart wheels which rweached the hedge next to the A11 near Sear; one boring day on the flag post half way down the A11 straight only enlivened by two breakdowns ( one on the road for which my brother & I put out yellow flags when a race car was returned to its trailer) and an inexhaustible supply of carrots around the post; greasy breakfasts at the early 24 hour races.........
Must stop, nostalgia is not what it used to be.
