[Peter Mallett]

A test day for all classes.

[delta]

Right this date will be the one im going to aim for shakedown test for the Escort.Looks like Mike is well ahead at the moment.

[Mike Bell]

If Snet is ready this is sure to be a popular day!

Iain, the RS2000 is not for 2011 6hrs- have gone all German for that! (Although for sake of historic accuracy should add that the Mk2 RS was also built there.... )

[Robyn Slater]

Terry

think Hugo still on hols, Ros Gunning is around. Be quick, last I heard it was nearly full, in fact best to phone first...

[DaveGT6]

Last I heard it was very popular so definitely call the office if you want to get in.

Jon and I will be there with the Falcon and Grantura.

[John Turner]

Right, are you guys above still doing this; anyone else? I'm thinking of coming down to wave my camera around, provided weather reasonably OK.

I am fairly sure that the day is full or near full, but I must admit to not knowing how many cars that means! Expect cars out from all CSCC series - Swinging Sixties, Tin Tops, Future Classics, Classic K, Magnificent Sevens, & the new Deutsche Marque series. It'll be a sessioned day but not necessarily by series, more likely by forecast lap times.

I am not taking part in the Toyota but am hoping to get a few laps in Alfaracer156's Alfa Sprint. All being well.

[Robyn Slater]

Although i'd love to do this,i can't really afford the time or money atm.

Why is it the busier i get at work,the less spare money i seem to have??

[MGDavid]

yes I'll be there with the 924 ( it's almost finished prep, honest!). I and the other two drivers are using it as a shake-down for the 6-hours.

John,

Will be there (in my orange disguise!!) somewhere out on one of the marshal posts on the day - hope to see you trying out all the new photo opportunities that the new circuit provides and hopefully catch up for a chat at some stage.

Brian & I will be coming down for the day to have a wander round & show the new car what a circuit looks like! A big change from chauffeur driven wedding car to Safety Car!!! Come & say hello.

Shelby Mustang
Lotus 26R
Chevrolet Camaro
Marcos 1800 GT
Sunbeam Tiger
NSU TT
Triumph Spitfire

Austin Healey Sprite

Plus loads of more recent machinery; all sorts of Porsches, BMW, Alfa, Aston Martins etc etc.

Should be a great free day out for car spotters and photographers.

Any 10/10ers come and say hello I'm in the powder blue Grantura #63 and with Jon in the white Falcon #13

Does that mean I need to come via yours to help finish the prep on Wednesday Evening?

[QUOTE][Will be there (in my orange disguise!!) somewhere out on one of the marshal posts on the day /QUOTE] You will understand if I don't come and say hello then (unless its at the end of the day)

Brian & I will be coming down for the day

Are you bringing a neddle and thread?

[MGDavid]

she's 'test day ready' now - but the next 4 weeks' jobs list is filling fast...

[John Turner]

Well, from Dave T's list, that looks well worth a visit so definitely going now.

[Joyce George]

If I knew what a "neddle" is, I'm sure I'd bring one Penelope!!! I can't sew while I'm not being bored in the car!!!!

[John Turner]

Well, a terrific number of cars for a test day; many of them, of the type that we cover on this forum, so I'll put some pics up. The day started overcast and dampish and it wasn't helped by some one overfilling their fuel tank and putting a fair amount of it on the track causing a stoppage (one of many during the day!) and a lot of grumbling from drivers and officials! The weather soon brightened up but as it became better the wind really got cracking and I struggled to keep the camera steady, it was that strong. Anyway here goes the first lot:-

Hellooooo ...... is there anybody there? Or at least anyone who was at Snet who would like to talk about their day? Last lot of pics for today:-

[Joyce George]

Nice pics Mr Turner, as you say the wind was very strong - it even blew the tea out of my mug! A cracking turnout of cars - should be a good seasons racing.
