Steve,

aha, name to face (or face to name now). Didn't see your 'anyone going to Snetterton post until just now). Oh well!

Sh!t. Sorry to hear that, sounded great while it was running though. Checked your profile, bottom end only 4 years old? Must be the fact that it gets 'used' ! Loved Snetterton, great circuit (scary in places) but am I alone in thinking that the EVO organisation was a bit shoddy? I managed to get a ride in the Radical at the end of the day...

not sure I would say it was shoddy. The anouncing of sessions etc was fine and certainly no worse than other track days I've done but the organisation around hot rides etc was not good - This is something I pointed out to Roger Green after the Donnington event where there were bigger queues all day. Very relaxed atmosphere....not sure whether that makes it good or bad!

Bottom end - Well, it has lasted only 4 years but that is about 20000 pretty hard miles including roughly 25 trackdays. Still, I need to find out how bad the damage is and decide on what my options are for rebuilding - ie. new short engine, exchange engine, upgrades etc etc - oh, and find some money :-(
