Echo'd, thanks to Stuart and the Snetterton staff.

A superb day out.

Great company, atmosphere, food etc.

I was torn between having this day out or being there tied to a trade stand.
I think i made the right decision. I needed a day out.

I have to agree with the comments above it was an absolutely fantastic day !!!!

A quick version of my day. After being incredibly excited I had trouble sleeping and woke up at 5:30, rather than waste the opportunity I got up and went to pick dad up. We got there at 7:40am and were pleased to see Stuart watching over the cars entering the circuit in almost a bouncer like fashion !! After a brief chat we parked up near the VIP bit and when someone drove out of a space I jumped on the opportunity and parked up.

A quick gander round the pits and seeing the amazing cars there already including Papa Smurfs Scoob and Garys Evo we wandered over to the club sections where this caught my eye:
Image
Image
Was very impressed with it and it was as good as I remember when we saw it going round the Ring in Germany.

Wandering past the ahem 'special' cars and having my insides churned up by the constant bass from a load of cars that were all designed from the pages of Max Power. Horrific paint schemes check, insane bodykits check, pointless amount of tvs check, large number of exhaust pipes check (there was a black Polo with 12 pipes !!!!!) etc. There were some nice American muscle cars this Dodge SRT and the Chrysler on 24inch rims !!!!
Image
My eagle eyes spotted this in the ringfenced carpark which is totally understandable from the large number of 'corr how many speakers has it got mister' bunch !!! Simply divine !!!!
Image
Image
Image
We then wandered down the front of the Pits and drooled over all the cars.
Image
I was most interested in Craigs V8 RX7 (something of a marmite car on the Mazda forums) and Darrens green RX7 which has an engine bay I would love to aspire to.
Image
Image
Image
Garys Evo looked in its usual great form (sorry to hear about your issues with it during the day though mate):
Image
I had heard from Ben about the VIP room but I was blown away by what Snetterton had done for us and felt it a real priviledge for them to provide the setup. Lunch was absolutely fantastic, there was loads and loads of food and the puddings were ace. Watching Chris (H Tech) getting stuck into a wedge of cake the size of a doorstop was a particular highlight.
Image
The drift section we have used for club evenings was alive with the sound and smells of engines banging off limiters and burnt rubber. Watching on occasions 4 cars going round and round at the same time was mesmerising and a real credit to those involved.
Image
Image
A final bunch of pics
Problems with what looked and smelt like coolant from one of the Scoobs:
Image
Dunk off out for another session (yes I had intended to get the pic of Dunk directly under but the camera on my Nokia is not fast!!):
Image
The triple rotor RX7 drift car which was as good as I'd heard:
Image
Image
Insane design of the bonnet of a drift 200sx:
Image
Views from the stairwell of the event.
Image
Image
Very nice looking RX7 wearing a Kazama bodykit:
Image

For me it was a fantastic day and full credit to Stuart. I felt quite humble just putting a couple of banners up in comparison to the work you put in organising today !!!!
