I never knew it was you in the Chevy .

we were watching the car from the top of race control it sounded and looked superb, at one point there was you, ` tr6 and a Mgc lapping which looked fantastic. thanks for bringing the car a long it was quiet a talking point .

Another great day at Snetterton. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. Not relaxed in the Metro though lol and i was knackered at the end. I had great fun playing with the Elises, M3's, Porsches etc. It done me proud yet again. Thanks for the nice comments guys.

Yes Harry/Russ, that Elise was a PITA. He should go buy himself a fast car lol.

Great to see lots of BP'ers there all great cars and drivers. (generalisation as not to miss anyone out)

Big thanks to Dave and MSV.

Hi Dave , did quite a few laps with the TR6 we were sort of egging each other on and i remember him from the April TD the one with the Caterhams , and i thought he was brave bringing it out then , he was really giving it a go. I did keep an eye out for the MGC but seemed to miss it i would have liked to have seen how it went around the track . There was also a Lancia 2000 out on track but once again didnt see it when i was on the circuit . Maybe someone might bring a muscle car the next time i do a trackday as theres plenty about and getting one around a track is great fun , not that i am trying to twist arms or anything . Pete

The driver of the Tr6 may look harmless but he drives in the Safari Rally and some desert raid rallies ! But not in the Triumph .....

Another successful TD I think everyone I spoke to enjoyed the day so nice not to have to que and what interruptions there were, were kept to an absolute minimum by the marshals and support staff a big thanks from all I think.

Pretty pleased with the way the car went even managed to string a few corners together but I recon it needs some time and money spent on it for next year but I will keep the power at the same level and try to improve the handling. It has done rather well really I have owned it for nearly 3 years and have not carried out any improvement other than a re-map to smooth out the power delivery so it is a bit overdue.

But the best part of the day was the circuit itself, it seems to have improved since April when I first drove it the grip level seemed higher and had glimpses of how well the circuit flows so very pleased with some of the laps, useful having a full time circuit guide and mentor in the car (thanks Russ especially when the Red Mist came down)

The down side was having a problem with the lotus driver who must have read chapter five of the defensive driving manual "Putting your car in the wrong place at the right time" good to watch Fast Eddy dispatch him at Agostini still we all started somewhere.

Thought the quality of the cars and driving from BP was its usual high standard and so good to see TKs Pulsar back out playing the only BP member who seemed to have a problem with their car was Aaron noticed the car jacked up a few times hope it wasn't too serious.

Do we know who was driving the Land Rover (not in MSV Livery) on circuit I came up behind it and was totally confused by what it was doing out there.

That was my last TD of the year and it remains only to thank Dave MSV Staff and BP members for an enjoyable and memorable day
