Should be a good mix of conditions: pissing rain, howling wind

Will be bucket loads of fun though as the track dries out (which it will with those winds)

Can I just say what a great day I had there today, it may have been a little shorter than planned but that didn't seem to hamper the proceedings

I now have around 10 laps of Snetterton under my belt (big thanks to Frayz, Gerry and Mike for helping me rack these up , and all I can think of now is returning in my own car where I can show a little more commitment

I'd also like to thank Duncan, Paul and Stuart for putting this together and creating a great day out, shame I couldn't hang around for this evenings meet.
And lastly a huge thankyou to Frayz..................











.....................get some sleep in time for the weekend bufty boy

And why we're the guys so tired
Because they had worked through the night to get my car finished!
We then drove up to Snetterton with Zak's head buried in the laptop and me at the wheel being instructed to FLOOR IT!
And boy did she fly by the time we got there....
Sadly we have had to turn down the boost due to a restrictive TMIC , but the STI7 TMIC goes on shortly and then we can unleash the boost properly!
New tyres for the track.. Silverstone RR tyres and first impressions are great! The car had loads of grip, with predictable and controlable slide! Had a little issue of chewing through around 5 mm on the edge of the tyre with the rear wheel arches, but at least i have wear indicators now!
Was a great day and great to be back at wet and very windy Snetterton.
Massive thanks to Zak & Frayz for the hardwork....
Thanks to Duncan & Stuart for organising and for holding a grage for us
Roll on Time Attack!

Glad you enjoyed it boys

I had an absolute ball despite an oil surge problem that was syphoning all my oil out of my catch can breather, but at least the underside of my car aint gonna rust now This only happened when the oil was full though...

Thanks to Zak for getting my car is such a great state, with the extra power it was lapping 6 seconds a lap better than my previous best time there - probably why I had oil surge Now down to 1 min 25 ... he did offer to turn down the boost, but where's the fun in that ??

Thanks also to Mike for the passenger laps at the end of the day - the car was working perfectly and will be great at Donny

ps - frayz has your rings Mike
