Snetterton Track Day
Discussion
Booked for my first track day in the Viper at Snetterton on the 24th June. Imagine it will be a lot different from my MR2 Turbo on the track, so will be fun learning again. Anyone want to join me? See BookaTrack if you are interested, but only 4 places left now and going fast.
Quite a good set up, well organised with tyre support also.

Well, the first track day in the Viper was excellent. Handling was better than expected, although I was taking it a bit easy on the brakes to prevent any problems. Great fun and all the passengers enjoyed the ride.

Wow, a Viper at Snetterton. Blimey, you must have been soooo fast. I'll bet the only things that could possibly have been quicker were track biased cars such as Caterhams and Radicals, right? Surely nothing else could get past...
I was thinking about Aug 5th too - Stig you definitely going then?

Yup. Am booked Danny.
Will probably drop a couple of your HT leads off though 'cos you're running better tyres!!!
Stig,
Don't rise to it - I'm just winding up Viper_Larry because he's my brother.
In fairness, it was the first track day out in the Viper and I think he needs to get used to it a lot more - it's a lot of car! Also, he was very gracious at letting faster cars past - inc me in my girlfriend's Scooby (which is not a nutter barge, it is a normal UK car) - which she didn't know I had 'borrowed', and being a passenger in the Viper at the time, got quite a surprise!
However, it is my brotherly duty to continue to wind him about it, ad nauseum.
Oh, btw, 1:22's the other weekend in my 1.6 Caterham Supergrad 133bhp, 5 speed, no LSD, Avon CR500 tyres. Sadly, I came second by 6/100ths /second.
Si.
