YES YES YES YES!!!!

what a brilliant day! took the MR2 out and what an eye opener that was, i was sliding all over the shop

went spinning off at riches on the first lap, then as i came to the bombhole someone kicked up loads of dirt onto the track, i wonder who that bloody was :roll: ....

Suzy

:P

So i'm going to email the circuit photography and ask them for proofs (or poofs as i thought it said) of my car

hopefully they got the epic spin off

and your right Stu, the arse end does like to kick out at the bombhole and budget tyres dont help neither

In the words of my passenger Eddy "I didn't see that coming" LOL. I have a couple of pics of the aftermath in the mud (not showing the car and a halfs width of mud I threw on the track though). I think as I went over the crest the car lightened and hit some damp and the rear let go. Was hard on the throttle and didn't lift off. Was nothing i could do one second was going ok next was going over the red come on the Apex and doing a 360 on the grass. Luckily nothing broken just a lot of mud.

Good fun though :-D Do I get my Gold now?

Glad you had a nice time out guys. I think the amount you learn and the amount of fun you can get is incredible for the value for money..........

Hence my addiction

If Eddy didn't see it coming, I hope to Hell he wasn't giving you tips

When you said "keep a look-out at the bomb-hole" I didn't realise how much of it you'd dug-up Suz :lol: I should think those marks will be there for some time!

Thanks to Eddy for arranging the slots, and special thanks to Jay for being stuck at work which meant I could have his 'go' LOL :P

It seemed the 2pm slot was perfect as the track was just about dry when we went out, then as me and my brother left Snetterton part-way through the next session it started bucketting-down. I don't think Eddy minded as he was busy claiming scalps, including a clean looking mk2 Golf race/track car which he seemed proud of passing!

Only problem I had was high coolant temps after the first 4 laps which then meant I had to keep easing-off for 1-2 laps before I could push-on again. I had planned to remove the front plate and cut a large hole behind it to improve airflow to the rad, but with a 'mare fitting the tailgate in the morning I didn't have time. ](*,) It just meant I couldn't let the laps 'flow' as I was watching the temp guage throughout.

The list of improvements gets ever longer. PMSL
