Two-day meeting I see. Normally just one - at least the Spring Start has been in recent years. Should be a good meeting with the invited clubs.

Actually, you're both right - their online Newsletter shows it as 1-day - obviously old news.
 Be interesting to see what the members think of the 2-day format. Haven't seen any comments on their site yet. |

Should have bigged this up before. As noted above VSCC has moved this back to a two day event. Always a great meeting.
FISCAR are running the Tom Cole Trophy race again on Saturday over 30 minutes with compulsory pitstop and over 30 entries including 4 Frazer Nashes, 6 Austin Healeys, 3 AC Aces, a DB3S, a Ferrari, possibly a Jaguar C type (late entry), Stephen Bond's Lister Bristol etc etc. |

Not sure much has changed with the launch of Formula Vintage, apart from doubling the price at the gate from last year.
A great selection of cars, both racing and private cars in the paddock. Access was also good. Car parking was chaotic as several car parks were being used for autotesting, fairground rides and army displays. The action on track was the usual VSCC excellent standard, Fiscar and the F3 500s welcome guest series. Not sure how the commentary team get away with it year after year though. They managed to miss most race starts on Saturday while waffling and didn't know the winner of three races on the trot. Good to have a chat to a couple of Snetterton locals during the day as well

Bob, I tried to contact you on Saturday but got one of your humorous answerphone replies and left a message. I know it's difficult technology for you (and me, too
). Anyway, glad you are Ok and hope that you were impressed with the Tom Cole grid.I'll get around to posting a few pics myself at some stage including our friend Gillian Carr once again pedalling an Edwardian against much newer cars! Last edited by John Turner; 28 Apr 2017 at 11:00. |

I a planning to send you a link to my Tom Cole snaps for your interest/web site, and yes! It certainly was a most impressive turn out, so well done great field and great race. Sorry to have missed you but I knew any meeting would have been measured in seconds rather than minutes, Blue and fly spring to mind. Cheers, Bob. |

And a few more. I'll also put some pics of a number of Roesch Talbots in the Classic car forum at some stage.
