I`m sure everyone at snett today will join me in saying a [big][b]HUGE[/b] [/big] thankyou and well done to Andy for all the hard work on putting together a wonderful day out. I spoke to him briefly before leaving and he was very modest about it all, but I had one of the best trackdays yet.

Yes great event Andy, we really enjoyed it, quite a social event infact we all stood around chatting an hour after the track closed, great to meet new faces to.

Well done mate

Great day out and over all too quickly. I'm gutted to have missed out on track play time though.

Well done Andy for organising it, hope we'll do this again next year.

An excellent day, it's amazing how more relaxed you are when you're spectating and not driving (I kept telling myself). Roll on the next one...

Top Day. Many thanks Andy

My first one with the Griff, and was very impressed with all drivers I encountered. Couteous use of the overtaking rule and fairness in the self policing open pit lane made for a brilliant day. (a bit of sun always helps aswell)

Roll on the next one

Once again from us both - Thank you so much for all your effort in organising such a fantastic day

The open track really did work so well with us both driving, we’ve never had so much track time, it gave us both a chance to really get in to it & get some half decent laps in.

Hope it's all starting to feel worth it now

Thanks for a great day.

Met up with a few people who I have spoken to many times on the phone, had a few hot laps with Marc in a racing griff, had a nightmare with our Taraka demo car, but...fantastic day!

Thanks Andy
