750MC Sports Specials races at Snetterton 1/2 August

John Walton is already entered for this race, and I will be entering tomorrow

Tempted but feeling poor.

Have see your advert thingy in one of the local rags.

I have resorted to mugging to raise funds.
I show people a photo of the LA Gold, ask them id they know what it is, when they reply that it is "a car", convince them they are experts in motor racing and really must sponsor me.
Lord knows how Perry Mccarthy pulled it off

I promissed my body to medical science for a few quid.
But they made me promise not to

Was that my male seeks bendy woman who's good at keeping secrets ad. Or was it a Fullers Forestry and Landscaping ad?

Oh Ed if you were on Ashely Maddison then your in the shit now

of course I jest Edd I would hate to put a slur on your fine Character (plus a thick ear of Zoe does not appeal)

Ian I think I saw you on there I think your user name was hairy pie muncher

Finals arrived this moring

I appears D Berris is running in sports specials.
Last time we talked his car did not meet the reg's

Will anyone have any spare tickets with them that they wont need?

I may have. Are you bringing your fan club?

Have given a couple of tickets to someone in the village, and someone from work might be coming as well, so could do with a couple of extra tickets.

From looking at the finals, there are 32 listed racers, but Ed and myself are not on the list (late entry), so it looks like there will be 34 racers

Also looks like there will be no green flag lap for the Saturday race, but there will be one for the Sunday race

I'm looking at being there Friday night about 8:00

No green flag lap???? How does that work? Cold tyres is a bit dodgy

Ref' the green flag lap.
They may have got their admin confused.
Previously a green flag on the Saturday but not on the Sunday.

30+ cars on old tyres a Cadwell was great fun.

I will be there Friday sometime.

Ed ive got to be honest. I have never found the cold tyre argument to stand up that well. I get on the pace as soon as the lights go out.

I find its a good way of gaining places  whilst other people are waiting for the tyre's to warm up.

it was one of those phrases trackday organisers used to spout shit about to stop everybody crashing into each other in the first 10 minutes

not to be confused with cold conditions though thats a different ball game

Snett in July, I suppose there is a chance that it might not snow.

Or even August !

750MC have previously not had green flag laps for cars that are not on slicks as it saves track time. However, I thought they had gone back to having them. I must admit though that the differences between Sat and Sun is a bit unusual. Anyhow, it will be a question to ask at the event.

Billy do you still need tickets?

I have 1, maybe 2

Thanks

May I wish you gentlemen and Ed the very best of luck this weekend

Great weekends racing and company - report to follow.

Special thanks to Ian who was keeping track on TSL live and sending me the results as soon as I had got back to the paddock

Agree with Billy, great weekend.

Best racing I have had in a long while, what a difference a full grid . Of simular cars make.

1st race

Qualified 20th. I had a bad start followed by small bollocks resulting in me being in 25th by the end of the second corner! After alot of close racing finished 18th

2nd race

Qualified 18th. Slightly better start but still got to work on standing my ground, lost 5 places this time in the second corner! To be fair there where a couple of cars that had qualified out of position in both races and I would have never kept them behind for long. After some overtaking by a number of different techniques, slipstreaming on both straights, on the brakes in a couple of places and throwing dummies and re taking 1 car several times. So all in all chuffed and learnt a lot.

Finished 19th, doesn't sound great but it's the best racing I have ever had. (Apart from beating JD at Mallory, Anglesey, Oulton, etc etc...

Heres a message and some epic photos from Nick and Mark to bring back those great memories:

Nice to catch up with you at the weekend. Here is a link you can add to you report on HSLC to spice it up a bit.
