The Snetterton Classic

Slowcoach · 3 Jul 2003, 07:29 (Ref:650466)

Well seeing as no one else has started a thread on this I thought I'd better, especially as its only just over a week away. I may attend as a spectator, the car is entered but my friend will drive it, as I am awaiting a visit from the Stork any day soon!
Surely they'll be a few more of you making the journey to deepest, darkest Norfolk........

My excuse isn't as good - hope all goes well

carrera · 3 Jul 2003, 10:25 (Ref:650617)

Twenty one listed entries for Classic Thunder down to 3 for single seater race.

Hope to see you there Slowcoach.

OK Jos. What's the excuse? Croix? Jet lag? How was Canada?

Slowcoach · 3 Jul 2003, 10:36 (Ref:650632)

Cheers Carrera, the 21 probably didnt include me either.

josvandeperre · 3 Jul 2003, 13:55 (Ref:650915)

Excuse : I beat you at Snetterton last year and my charitable heart could not bear to do anything to compromise your class championship push

Croix - can't wait
Jet Lag - I woke up at Canada bed time this morning and am trying to survive the day on 2 1/2 hours sleep...
Canada - excellent apart from all the mosquitos - the whale were jumping - weather fab - GP fun - enjoyable towns - met a couple of tententhers - hi EERo & Jay

Excuse - actually full hospitality (incl limo) at Goodwood vs only one race at Snetterton

**Peter Mallett** · 3 Jul 2003, 14:29 (Ref:650942)

Hmm,

Given the choice I think....................................................... I'd be at Snetterton.

Slowcoach · 3 Jul 2003, 15:15 (Ref:650975)

here! here! - jos why couldnt you do 2 races? G1+CT?

Tony Harman · 3 Jul 2003, 15:29 (Ref:650991)

Congrats on the forthcoming pit crew SC, seems like a reasonable excuse, but only just !

I won't be there because.... there is no Classic Clubmans race, we're at Cadwell this weekend, not at Snet until Sept. Seems that BARC are moving away slightly from the Classic Package basis this year ?
So what are the single seaters that only have 3 entries ? not FF2000 surely ?
Jos - Peter's got a pit y'know......

**Peter Mallett** · 3 Jul 2003, 18:34 (Ref:651181)

Actually Tony, I've got a point.

carrera · 3 Jul 2003, 19:23 (Ref:651238)

**Peter Mallett** · 4 Jul 2003, 06:10 (Ref:651672)

I'd prefer a pint of course.

Well come to a meeting and you might just get one - after the race of course

Now I can see this is going to cost me...

**Peter Mallett** · 4 Jul 2003, 09:38 (Ref:651813)

Maybe, but not until September.

carrera · 4 Jul 2003, 12:36 (Ref:652075)

Tony, as I'll be at Snett can I have Peter's pint?

Have you ever seen the stuff Peter drinks ??

Are you sure you want a whole pint !!

carrera · 5 Jul 2003, 15:50 (Ref:653405)

As long as it's not alcoholic, Tony.

Slowcoach - How is Mrs Slowcoach?

Jos - Come back soon, i'd rather chase your VW than drive round on my own.

josvandeperre · 7 Jul 2003, 08:18 (Ref:654489)

Yeah Yeah Yeah - entered Silverstone - trying to negotiate with other half for Oulton & maybe Cadwell if the extra race happens - does this help ?

Slowcoach · 7 Jul 2003, 09:49 (Ref:654584)

Hi Carrera, well she is very uncomfortable so I'm packing her off to friends on Saturday - if she hasnt already had it and then I'm coming down late morning to Snett. , the guys might come down Friday night actually, is anyone else going Friday? Car is almost back together, new brakes all done and found the reason for the misfire at Brands, pin hole in the radiator which was arcing a tiny jet of water directly onto the distributor, still at least we've found it so just need to get that repaired and we're ready to rock and roll. Why isn't G1 on the list then ?

carrera · 7 Jul 2003, 19:58 (Ref:655169)

Jos - haven't entered any races other than Snetterton. Will see how the weekend goes before committing to Silverstone etc. Not interested in a non-championship race at Cadwell even though I love the circuit; might as well go to Pembrey for less money.

Enjoy your freebie.

Tony_Simpson · 7 Jul 2003, 21:01 (Ref:655228)

BTW, how have you found out about the entries for the events???

Also is there a half decent hotel/B&B that anyone can recommend???

The Angel, Larling.

**Peter Mallett** · 8 Jul 2003, 05:48 (Ref:655509)

Yep. But the breakfast will add two secs to your lap times.

Slowcoach · 11 Jul 2003, 06:39 (Ref:658535)

Just dragging it back to the top for its final day.........the weather forecast is still good.....

carrera · 13 Jul 2003, 08:43 (Ref:659897)

Weather stayed fine - how's Mrs Slowcoach?........ and how's the car ? Looked like your mate was having an exciting time.
