The race on saturday was red flagged due to an incident and there wasn't time to re-run it, so another race for them was added to end of sunday timetable. Only a few could stay for it, though.

Was there on Saturday only but did take some pics; just been too busy to put them up so far, but will do so eventually!

No, I don't understand why it takes to the end of the week, either

TSL website does now carry a notice saying roughly the above.....

No paddock power hook up AND no internet? Seems somewhat odd in this age after a major circuit re-vamp. Especially if the objectives for the expenditure, as I understood them, included attracting some International events.

A temporary glitch presumably.

Quite correct Grant,the revamp is not finished yet.

[The new M3 is now in service though!]

midgetman · 14 Apr 2011, 07:12 (Ref:2863141)

Do you remember, back in the old days, must have been, ooh, 2010 or 2011, when there was no power or internet at Snetterton?

I mean, it was terrible. We had to get out of our gin palaces and TALK to people because there was nothing else to do. No satellite TV, no online Call of Duty, it was MURDER

David Stallard · 14 Apr 2011, 10:50 (Ref:2863204)

Serious sunburn weather - who'd have thought it eh.

Nice to see the mammoth grids just a shame the 7's had their day cut short.

.

Size matters?

Would this be the stunning 'Escort' you were on about - I know - shooting into the sun is a bad idea but just had to go for the shot.

A 'few' more here if you fancy taking a look: http://david-stallard.smugmug.com/Pe...-Car-Club-2011

PS: I have to apologies for not posting as often as most but with work / running the 1400 owners club and shooting for CSCC etc I just about have time to say 'Hi' to the misses. Will try and do better - promise

Nice pix, but I got a "503 error" message when I tried that link?

Very good photos,I take it the 'Flatpack' in pic 1 was looking for an advantage,not that it's obvious.

**John Turner** · 17 Apr 2011, 10:48 (Ref:2864957)

Old hat now, but a few pics from Saturday morning qualifying:-

**John Turner** · 18 Apr 2011, 10:19 (Ref:2865586)

23 starters; 17 finishers. 40 minute race (17 laps) with compulsory pit stop.

Won by the 'moderns' Honda Integra (85 - Ainge/Broad) from the Civic Type 'R' s of Taylor/Hammersley (11) and Livens/Dyball (54) with the MG ZR (2) of Robert Addison, 4th. Modern, but all at least 10 years old believe it or not and they provided a great race with just 2.1 seconds covering those first four!

akamal · 18 Apr 2011, 23:50 (Ref:2866169)

Seems a long time ago already, but here's a few of mine from Sunday:

Lots more http://www.amirkamal.co.uk/photograp...terton20110410

**Peter Mallett** · 19 Apr 2011, 08:03 (Ref:2866283)

Um,

Wasn't the Classic Thunder race in the CTCRC meeting?

**John Turner** · 19 Apr 2011, 08:19 (Ref:2866293)

Yes, I'm trying to deal with two meetings at once! Now moved to correct thread, thanks, Peter!

**John Turner** · 19 Apr 2011, 08:33 (Ref:2866302)

22 starters; 21 finishers.

15 minutes + 1 lap race (in effect 8 laps) for these big cars. I imagine the infield part of the new 300 circuit is challenging for them. A brilliant start by Gail Hill in the yelllow XJ6 4000 (52) got her in front of the ultimately quicker XJ6 (1) of Richard Dorlin and XJS 4000 (9) of Chris Palmer and she stoutly defended the lead for 2 or 3 laps before having to give best to those two, and finished 3rd. Dorlin went on to win but was hard pressed all the way by Palmer who put up the fastest lap. :-

Welcome to TT akamal. Had a peek at your pics

**John Turner** · 20 Apr 2011, 08:50 (Ref:2866830)

39 starters; 32 finishers; 1 disqualified (the winner on the road!)

A terrific grid for this 40 minute (18 lap) race with plenty of Porsches, BMWs, TVRs, Jags etc. Good battles with Ed Mercer emerging the winner only to be disqualified for a yellow flag transgression. So it was poleman, Nicholas Olson, in his Esprit S3 (12) who won by nearly 15 seconds from Martyn Adams in his TR7 V8 (7). 3rd a lap down was the 911 Carrera (911) of Stuart Jefcoate:-

A few more:-

**John Turner** · 20 Apr 2011, 08:59 (Ref:2866835)

And that's it from me, since Race 4 for the 'Magnificent Sevens' was anything but as they were redflagged on the first lap and again at the restart following an accident which took so long to sort out that I decided to go home and feed the dogs!

David Stallard · 20 Apr 2011, 08:59 (Ref:2866836)

John - just checked out your home page and have to say you have some stunning artwork!

.DAVID.

**John Turner** · 20 Apr 2011, 09:14 (Ref:2866843)

David that's very kind of you, but the quality is down to the artists Andrew Kitson and Chris Dugan. Despite having sold a few prints on a one to one basis, and also through a local arts and crafts shop, not a single print has been sold from the website in the 3 years plus that it has been in existence. In fact I have at least two more superb prints in stock which I haven't even bothered to add to the site for that reason. One day, I might revamp the whole thing and try to develop the business, but unfortunately at the moment there are a few other more pressing things in my life to sort!

Mike Bell · 20 Apr 2011, 17:42 (Ref:2867091)

Hey John, what's with the two FC 924s, both in a state of disrepair. Hope any you photograph on the 30th look more complete!

**John Turner** · 21 Apr 2011, 08:28 (Ref:2867400)

Mike, I think that's just the artwork on the 152 car that may give that impression. The second car, I'm guessing that the bonnet simply flew off during the course of the race.

Ahh so, very clever artwork if I may say so. But think I'll stick to orange..........
