Snetterton Race Report
Things are hotting up in the Tuscans as we near the end of the season. Check out David Lord's great pictures too.
Discussion
David Lord's pictures are just cool... I'm proud to see mine along with his pictures in the final "24 Hours of Spa" report, that made me smile in a very satifying way. To get back to the topic, the one pic showing Guglielmi and Shepherd on the starting grid against the clowdy sky is just a piece of art. Imagine that in a size of 2 x 1.5 meters at the back of your bedroom. That will make you sleep better. I wonder whether I will ever reach David's talents (I'm trying hard... I'm training e-v-e-r-y weekend...). These are awesome pictures which capture the milliseconds of motor sport, just as it happens, just fantastic. David (Ted, you too !), please keep up the good work and keep on posting the pictures on PH, thanks.

Forgot a thing... great to see Wayne to grasp some points. I guess he won't be at Spa in the 6 Hour race in two weeks... there is one Griffith in the entry list, I'll try to catch up with it and post a report. This was the last edit... promised.

Rob Urquhart. Trying too hard. Maybee I was trying a little too hard, but with regrads to the final "constanntly nudging the car in front" I dont think so! I made contact with the back of Richards Stantons car at the Esses on the first lap (soz Richard), this resulted in my bonnet working itself lose through the race and becoming wedged under my front wheels, and eventualy being blown off down the back straight after pulling out of the Toe on Gary Britnel! (to put the record straight) but I was up from 19th on the grid to 6th, with some very good lap times! Many Thanks Rob.

Yeap Rob's right up from 19th to 10th after 2 laps. 1st race he had the second quickest time 2nd race 3rd quickest. Highest top speed all weekend on the bank straight at 160mph, fastest 1st sector time all weekend, 3rd quickest 2nd sector time all weekend and fastest through the speedtrap in all practise sesions and races !! Rocket Rob indeed !! Thruxton is not going to know what hit it - come on Rob

First of all: All the best to Rocket Rob and Wayne for the coming few rounds. There are two left, right ?
Second thing: It's not a Griffith listed at the 6 Hours of Spa but a Grantura, but that one in two races, he six hour one and a shorter one about two hours. Ah, and the Flintstones will be there as every year in a Mustang, I think.

Emma Kean! yes, very nice!
What would your better half have to say Rob?
!!!! You get a good mention in Emma's Snetterton rpt in this weeks AutoSport 'Ambitious move round the outside of the Esses' couldn't see it from the Pit wall but sounds a effort, and there's another pic of the rather battered car !!
