NEW DATE for Mazda Sprint Series at Snetterton PLUS car run

See the last (Round 8) of the 2019 Mazda Sprint series on Saturday 16th November. It’s at Snetterton (300 circuit).

This time I am proposing a brisk run from Norwich via back roads to Snetterton so we arrive about 10am.

Once at the circuit we can grab a coffee and spend an hour or whatever you like watching some timed laps on the track and chat with those taking part.

For the run meet at 9am in MacDonald’s car park, Thickthorn (A47/A11 junction off mini roundabout) to leave asap.

If you wish to join us at 10am but travel direct to Snetterton we’ll look out for you, park in the upper level car park behind the pits.

Sign up for the run (Thickthorn) or if going direct to Snetterton:

Cheers David


PS There is a reference on Eastern Club‘s Forum to them attending Sprint series day. Hope they know the date change. In which case it may be an opportunity to meet up with neighbouring Club members.

 

Although weather looks doubtful, always the optimistic I am putting a link to Google maps here, as having no co pilot route directions are not much use. Not sure if this will work but try copying and pasting link into Google maps (looks horrendous) - best of luck.

Hi David

Brilliant idea.  Will come if its dry and, as I’m not celebrating Halloween, will maybe spend the rest of the day at Duxford which is only 45 mins or so from Snetterton

Regards

Richard W

 

Hi David

I will pop along to this as well.

Thanks

Kevin

It happens to be my birthday, and I’d love to come. But if the weather is too foul I’d probably drop out.

Not worried about getting the car dirty (unlike some!) just don’t greatly enjoy getting soaked.

Richard

Richard,
I’m with you on the not getting wet bit. Let’s hope we get a dry day - put your name down - first one.

David

Hi David

I have something on first thing but may well come down afterwards so would be there about midday.

Hopefully see you there.

Kevin

 

Kevin,
If we’re still there we’ll look out for you. I’m aiming for 10am arrival so 2 hrs to your midday arrival might be pushing things (not our cars I hope).

David

Hi David,

Count me in, although if it is bucketing down with rain on the day then I might wimp out. I’ll be at Thickthorn.

By the way, I tried downloading the route map, but it gave a “resource unavailable” message. Could you reattach it.

Thanks very much,
Laurie

Laurie
I will add your name and quite agree with you and Richard about the weather.
Will delete and reattach the route directions. It is not a map but directions done in MS Word.
I have dabbled with putting a map on using both My Route software/app and Google but little success.
Latter is ok going to an email address or mobile phone but Club’s website is troublesome.

Cheers David

Hi David

Looks like I am going to have to pass as it seems I have an unexpected Christmas shopping trip.

Sorry.

Kevin

 

Kevin,
Did a reply on phone, not sure if you’ll get it. Thanks for letting me know. Weather outlook poor so we may not do this.However have two others waiting in the wings besides those signed up.

David

Hi David,

Wasn’t sure if I could come as car was in the garage and needed to arrange care for Rosalie.

Glad to say car back this afternoon and care provided. I can’t make the start at McDonalds but will meet you at Snetterton.

BBC report says weather not too bad tomorrow. 

Will text you too as this is a late notification.

Kind regards,

Kevin

Hi David

Sorry I haven’t been in touch since the date change for this event.  Had hoped to take part but have been laid low by a chest infection.  Have taken a full course of antibiotics so will be back to normal very soon.  No rain forecast for a change so you should have an enjoyable morning.

Regards

Richard W.

Thanks for today David which I thoroughly enjoyed

Richard

Thanks Richard. I too thoroughly enjoyed the morning and company.
David
