John T,hence my question ,"Should I invest In something a bit Quicker".I,m not knocking the fact that there are so many Sp/Racers,I,m thinking about moving away from the "B"!.Seem,s to me there,s a bit more fun in going quicker.
John G-I suppose the problem starts when they all decide to come in for thier change over at once! CCTV on the pit lane?.It would be good if it,s peeing down! |

We do have CCTV covering the pit lane but the resolution isn't really high enough to show the kind of things we're talking about - remember that on the CCTV footage on CrimeWatch, the balaclavas are being worn for a different reason! Seriously, we already have some good plans to get it much fairer and safer next time |

The sight of those F5000 cars was a better turn out than the first F5000 race at Snetterton in period.
On that day i was disappionted that the championship leader Peter Gethin's Church Farm Racing McLaren M10 B was a non arrival. The battle on Saturday between Nick Shrigley-Fiegl's Lola T300 & Nick Barnby former clubmans driver's Modus F2 was epic. The five cars at the front of the Saloon race 1 was also thrilling The Mustang of Nigel Vaulkhard held up Bob Bullens Anglia 105e for much of the race allowing Les Ely in the BMW 2000 to close in and drag both Jonathan Gomm & Louis Bracey both in Lotus Cortina's On the last lap Ely tried to out brake everyone including 2 back markers , he left his braking way too late and took the shortcut to victory. However the officials correctly gave him a time penalty giving victory to Jonathan Gomm. Pete |

Joe, you deserved that victory. Great driving in both races; shame about the second race.

Peter Swinger
I am also very pleased that Peter is being remembered.
He was a lovely man that together with his delightful wife Kay, I got to know very well. You are so right John, he left this world way too soon. Paula Hamilton Quote:

Yes, there will be pics but I'm playing catch up at the moment and am off to Le Mans on thursday, so probably won't be able to put many up until next week. Last edited by John Turner; 12 Jun 2007 at 07:50. |

Pit & Paddock
As Andrew has put up a number of Pit & Paddock shots, I'll restrict myself to just 3!
The Morgan Plus 4 of Malcolm Paul and Rob Wells was one of the oldest cars entered for the 3 hour race:- Very smart Lotus 59 brought over from France for the Historic FF1600 race and driven by Carol Quinion:- Michael Schryver fuels up the Chevron B6:- And one qualifying shot of the Chevron B8 of Charles Allison and Philip Nelson, at Russells:- |

Nice pics John. It was a really great meeting.
Sorry to be 'picky', but you have caught the TV commentator disease! They often get it wrong by saying 'Russells'. It should be Russell (Russell chicane named after Jim Russell) likewise many say 'Sears' corner thinking it is named after Jack, it is not, it is Sear (named after Oliver Sear). Carry on. |

I was just being lazy, I should have put an apostrophe in! Although it is a chicane the programme map always alludes to Russell Bend.

What they should do is put the proper Russell bend back, as was from '67 to the early 90s, complete with close earth banks. That sorted the men from the boys, testing those brave enough to take it 'flat' !

our race was like the Curate's Egg but am definately looking forward to next years race, and next year Terry and I will be more observant of 911's cornering styles!
Re marshalling I was certainly a victim to those jumping the start and racing before we passed teh lights, annoyingly I didnt join in as I thought that they would all get done! I was staying with a family friend nearby who has been associated with the circuit since it started as a sprint track. She was very involved in the instigation of both the Willhire and teh original FF Festival as well as being Jim Russell's time keeper at Le Mans when he raced there. When she saw the photograph on the plaques we were all given showing the start of teh first Autosport 3 Hour in 1964 she was able to able to show me where she was standing and the gossip..... well I hope she puts it onto paper one day! Did everyone else know that teh red telephpne box opposite the pits was for a long time the only landline at Snetterton?! |

Overall though it seems that it was enjoyed by all, competitors, spectators and marshals so here's hoping it's repeated next year. |

I was sure that the drivers briefing said that as it was a rolling start you had to maintain position until you passed the lights in the same way that you do at Spa. Anyway it was a cracking weekend and like everyone else look forward to next year
