MASTERS - SNETTERTON APRIL 23rd
Masters Historic Racing are hosting their annual trip to Snetterton on Easter Saturday - April 23rd. All the usual UK-based Masters races will be on-track.
Who is racing? Who isn't racing? A British sportscar race with cars manufactured during the 1950s and 1960s is on the programme. Great opportunity for people to drive on the new Snetterton 300 layout. Why not enter your car? Lots to talk about.............. |

I am stopping @ Centre Parcs with my familly for the Easter weekend, which just coincedently happens to be the Elvedon one, just down the road from Snett I have hijacked a passout and will be joining Craig Davies in his Corvette in the Gentleman Drivers 90 minute race
I will get some more circuit time there before then, as I'm racing there this Sunday on the new 300 in the Classic Thunder Championship, although the Sunbeam is a very different Beast to the Vette |

James - regrettably this meeting doesn't work for me but can you clarify whether sports racers are allowed into the British Sports cars race and whether there will be one at the Castle Combe meeting?

Hi Simon -
This race is for all British Sportscars and Sportsracers built from 01.01.1950 to 31.12.1969. Ideal for little sportsracers etc. Masters do not have any races at Castle Combe this year - so I was hoping this race would be the one to attract those type of cars........ So - all British-built cars are eligible. It would be so good to have a good grid. If anyone can support it then I would really appreciate it.... We have some good little things planned for the day and will be offering hospitality to competitors who make the trip. James |

Having found testing on Friday full with many reserves am now entered for two races on Saturday instead! 'Lairy Canary' will be out in the 70s Celebration and 'Overly Orange' for the race mentioned in previous posts. This has been opened up to other cars as well, so call Masters if you are interested- it is good value.
My neighbour James P is taking his Louts 11 for the latter race as well- anyone else from the North Walsham collective entered, trackside or upstairs? |

Unless there are some last minute entries seems a bit of a small field? Assuming the provisional list is correct?

Costa del Snet it certainly was, but the wets were out ready when it started to spit late afternoon. Only took them after BBC Breakfast weather showed a thunderstorm over Thetford mid afternoon. Guess what, they were right..... OK, small grids but a great day and some good racing. Loads of tenthers present and good to meet up with Christian Deveraux at last. Thanks to all in orange trackside, those upstairs, Masters team and MSV staff running the circuit (incl JP who 'dropped in'!) for a very enjoyable day on the 300 layout. Really looking forward to coming back sometime. Hang on, that will be next Saturday, it appears. Lastly thanks to Al and Cliff for making the trip up and lending several hands when needed. See you Friday! |

Yes the grids were small, but there was some good racing - Nick Swift/Ron Maydon in the first race, the early stages of the Gentlemen Drivers race with an Elan, E Type and a TVR swapping places seemingly by the corner and Russel Paterson/Chris Goodwin/Mark Bates in the fifth. Add to that the sight of two Jag MkVIIs running together in the 2nd Golden Oldies race and it all made a great way to spend a sunny Saturday. |

An Eye from Race Control
Do you know something people....you make our lives in race control so easy I can only liken today to something out of an aircraft cockpit whereby it was on autopilot for most of the day ..there were a few off's but nothing that bad ..so I want to say a big thank you from all of us in RC as we only had one piece of paper to file the whole meeting (right at the end)
I think you have grasped the rolling starts , they were perfect and the racing and driving standards were all great. Grids down?...well, yes , but then, thats motorsport at the moment anyway isnt it? weather was great and the darkening of the sky in the afternoon added a bit of excitement to it all. Thanks for making my first solo briefings easy and to all of you who asked after JohnGee I have passed on your well wishes (no doubt he will respond to this) and I also gave him regular updates from the circuit...so he was still "part of the action" Snetterton for me has become an awesome circuit now (nightmare to clear at times though) but it really is heading in the right direction and I hope to do something again there really soon....... say in about a week!!! Ta Masters... see you at Brands (or next week depending who you are x) Claire Edit - sorry I just went to post a thank you to the Marshals in their forum, but could not find a thread for this event...although it is late and Im tired so dont want to start one to find its a dup, so thank you very much to the brave girls and boys in orange, superb stuff from you all at Snett as always, please come next week!!!

John, whatever's going on, I wish you the speediest of recoveries.
You've been part of my racing since I started in 2009, and it's not the same without you. Get well soon, ok? |
