Snetterton 8/9 Noverber

So 2 hours of circuit racing at £250 compared to a sprint/hillclimb event at £100 for circa 10 minutes ...........

Welcome to our world.

Silverstone was also a bargain.

But, these are all comers racers and November at Snett' may require snow tyres

Come on Andy, Paul Watermouse and Geoff O are looking to join us (my car will be back next year).
Might seem a bit pricey to start off with but once you get past the first bit you will be made up.
You will love it, I seem to remember a quote from Ian Smyth about the difference between sprinting and circuit racing likening it to sex and wanking, I cant remember which way it went but it sounded good at the time

I am 99% certain of entering this one. November is usually cold but with clear skies, so I will take a chance.

In fact, thinking about it, it may be preferable to doing the Birkett.

I agree wiv wot e sed ^^^^

When we raced at Snetterton there was a meeting for all the drivers in the allcomers races, and it was broadly agreed that the reason for the excellent size of the grid was the low entry fee.

They then had the Silverstone races, which were still cheap, but not as cheap as Snetterton (because its not an MSVR circuit).

They are now having the races in November, and you wont get cheaper racing than that, even with a 6 car team in the Birkett (and remember you have to add your 750MC membership to the entry fee). Consequently, I think I would want to support their cheap allcomers races initiative, as it may lead to further cheap races in 2015.

Im not so sure as some bastard built snett 160 miles away from my house

It would be a good opportunity to try out the "Pie-van".

Pmsl that is a bit of a sore subject at the moment it would appear that glaswegen for surface rust and non structural rust appear to be somewhat different to the black country version

I still purchased the shit heap at a much reduced price but im curently in the process of welding in sills along the length of the van and bear in mind its 21 feet long ! Its that bad i havent let lisa see it yet lol

It may make it snett for the heritage race but we will see ! I will post some pictures in the chit chat section later

In fact pie van kinda sums it up ! Its crusty on the outside with god knows what in the middle

I think this van is gonna make me need therapy

Is this it?

not quite the general orange appaearance is right but there isint enough holes in the one you posted a picture of

This event is for the winter series of the BRDC Formula 4, and also the Ginetta Juniors, and that's it!  Consequently, with one of those in the pit garages (F4 I should think), there should be plenty of space in the paddock for the allcomers

Max grid size is 45 cars, so hopefully there will be a good turnout like last time (40 cars).

If anyone needs an entry form then e-mail me at highspeedlowcostATgmailDOTcom putting @ and . in the right places.

Defo not going to be able to do this one im taking the nipper to watch WWE on the Friday night

I've given the team a target of getting the car ready for this one If they manage to give me good progress reports in the next couple of weeks, I'm in.

That's good news Sean

I'm looking to enter once this weekends racing is finished.

Not good now I'm afraid.  It seems the current custodian of the car has no plans to take it to Oulton this weekend, which means not only am I the holder of £250 worth of spectator tickets, I can't get the engine out of it to transfer into the Blue car.  This also pushes my next available race to Mar 2016.  I won't say anymore as I will appear very unprofessional.

My entry is now in for this race, and has been accepted

In true High Speed Low Cost tradition, I got it in before ED's entry so I can use number 12, which was our team number at the Heritage relay

You must be insane Mr Fletcher I swear there were polar bears walking round Snett on Saturday night it was that cold

That was just the reflection of your naked body reflecting tin the shiny paint of the pie-van when you went for a pee in the middle of the night

Blimey Billy that sounds like some kind of fantasy you should seek help

What? shiny paint on the pie-van
