Speak to Gary at AP Tuning (www.ap-tuning.co.uk) fantastic outfit and rolling road too.

LOL - tis true [] Welcome by the way - Norwich is a good place.

bugger - missed it could have sworn it was Tuesday today - when did the clocks go forward a day ? []

lol

from a girl that said that she didnt enjoy it at the time, she has done nothing but go on about it since and eagerly looking at pics of her on track to see what she looked like and how the lines were ..... and now she wants to do it again to get better [] ..... I might let her one day as long as she respects the gear change indicator []

[Y] thats good - sounds like you were having fun

Yep, it was a job to keep up down the pit straight [] Also forgot to mention.......................nice spin Tom [] Dibs [H] ooo - thats another spinner that I know of then [] - the guy in the porsche did aswell. no harm done I hope [Y]

Glad you enjoyed it - we spent a lot of time organising it and thinking back to our first track days to work out what would be the 'best' way to introduce the circuit. We decided that driving around the track and getting out and chatting at the corners about braking, turning, apex points etc would help calm the nerves and give the most info. I know Rachel enjoyed opening mine out on the straights but didnt push it through the corners (sorry if we held anyone up) but was holding the lines pretty well. Once the driving lines are right then the speed will come (or it would if I gave her another chance to drive the car on track [] ) For me, it was a frustrating evening cos I just wanted to be out there driving but so pleased that we had so many virgins out there and hopefully we have broken down the fear of track days for them and whetted their appetite for more [] I'm glad that rain held off too - it was horrendous driving home in that [:S]

Just to remind 4.30 pm signing on 5.00 pm briefing cya later - here's hoping for it to stay dry

Dont forget - this is tomorrow You will need: - helmet - driving licence (ideally both parts but if not just the plastic bit) - long sleeved top and lop trousers Cya tomorrow [Y]

not exactly local though - 3 hour trip just for a dyno run ... hmmm

I ran a RR day there last month - Gary and the boys do a great job.

welcome to SIDC [Y] The snetterton track day isnt an SIDC thing - it is something I have organised through another club but have opened up to SIDC east anglia guys/girls. Have sent you a message re this - look in your inbox - link is at the top right.

Jason go for it.... I am around all day today.

Nearest Shell for V-Power is 3 miles up the A11 past Snetterton and Attleborough or there is BP just on the A11 around the edge of Thetford. [] - nerves are good [] Signing on opens at 4.30pm Briefing at 5pm Bring your DRIVING LICENCE TOO

please be there and ready to run by 5pm latest guys. Checklist for you: Build your speed and dont worry about faster cars overtaking you - be aware of this and let them past - DONT try and race them From reading this thread there are a lot of things but in reality most of it is common sense and given in the briefing but here is my mental checklist: Clothing: - if you have a racesuit - wear it.. a lot of people do now - if you havent then stick with natural fibres and long sleeved top (not fleece .. as these burn very well... sorry to be morbid but....) and long trousers (not that you would ever wear shorts at snetterton) - thin soles shoes or race boots - driving gloves or race gloves ... your hands get sweaty from the nerves and these help you keep a grip on the steering wheel - helmet .. get one that fits and is in good condition (preferably your own so that you know it hasnt been dropped etc) Car: pre-event checks: - brake pads - brake fluid - tyre condition - tyre pressures (best to add a bit extra PSI) - fluid/oil leaks - dont be the one that drops oil onto the track - wheel nuts tight - tape glass headlights - fit towing eye on-event checks: - wheel nuts - tyre pressures - tyre condition (some events wear tyres quickly) - fluid levels - petrol .. keep an eye on the fuel level - it goes quickly and it would be really embrassing to run out - engine temps good practice: - warm up the tyres/brakes on the sighting lap/s (but dont weave around like a tit - it really makes you look daft) - overtake only where allowed and with the permission of the car you are passing - overtake on LEFT (unless directed to overtake on the right in the briefing) - always check your mirrors and blindspots - helmets are quite restrictive vision wise and there may be someone close to you if you make a sudden change of direction - cool down lap/s are a great idea - leave engine running for a while after you come in - do NOT put on the handbrake (try and find some level ground to stop on and leave in gear after engine turned off) - you are not aryton senna and you will not impress anyone by trying to outdrive yourself ie build your speed up gradually

2 slots left

Clive Atthowes in Norwich is currently installing brand new Dastek rollers which are reputed to be very accurate. He will do a deal for a club day too.

wrx_yank - you are on the list to run but payments have been taken for most of the slots. As we have passed the deadline date, I cannot gtee to hold your space any longer if there are people definitely wanting to run and ready to pay now. Sorry.

clint - yep payment and you're running [] Dibs - there may be some, but I couldnt gtee that there would be - I would borrow one of someone if you cant buy one.

grooved is good - not 100% sure on the green stuff pads though. I would have thought that Red Stuff pads would be better suited but either way they will be loads better than std and perfectly adequate for road use and this track evening []

The SIDC meets in the area are in Cambridge but we have a meet each month at Snetterton Race Circuit - generally around 70 + cars there

Thats a very good idea What are you having done?
