Hi Chaps,
I've been keeping an eye on this. Nothing booked yet but looks like a great deal, especially if we can get some tdr discount too.
Monday 11th June Sessioned day and Tuesday 12th June Open Pit. Its with No Limits at £169 for both days.
Anyone else? Never been, could be a giggle.

I think I fancy that.
I need to look at work schedule but I should be able to sort it.
I've never done the 300 layout, used to love the old layout, it was the first track I ever rode on - 96 I think.
Do I need to bring a cake? How many candles?

I'll keep and eye on this. I'm off on those days but it's a fair hike for me. Dragging the trailer it's almost 8hours down, then the same back up after two days on track.

It was a good circuit before and is now even better! I did Snetterton end of last year, I'm not fast at all but still enjoyed every second and was getting about 135mph down the back straight.

I understand the new layout is excellent.
I'm going to put this in my diary with a view to going, work/funds permitting of course.
Its a great opportunity to organise something for the Monday night too.
Anyone know what the camping situation is?

I'm heading to Scotland with Ginge and a few others for a m8s 40th birthday weekend on the 15th. Scotsduke is guiding us on dirt bikes through the heather and bogs of sunny (snigger) Scotland. Really not sure if I can take 3 days off for biking stuff in one week, plus the Monday of the following. Will see how Monday goes at Snetteton and take it from there.

Sorry mate - first time at Snetterton and I've only done a few track days so far so I'll be in Novice. If I unexpectedly find I'm quicker than expected, I might be able to move up at lunchtime I guess. I don't rate the chances though, particularly as I will be coming straight from the Download Festival so my brain will have been turned to mush by Metallica etc

After you've done the open pit lane, you won't worry about the jump to Inters at all. Open pit is very much like an Inters group. You'll be fine

2012-05-22 11:17:00 UTC
I've done open pit lane before at Brands, that was my first track day a couple of years ago. If it's that sort of pace, I will be fine, but I just wanted to play it safe having never done this track before.
I was considering camping at the track but thought better of it, given that I will have been camping at Download for two nights previously and will be in desperate need of a return to civilisation by then! I will be riding to the track, so I won't have any choice but to find a B&B with some space to stash the bike somewhere. Do you want me to let you know if I find somewhere with space for bikes or are you pretty much set?

Thanks Klinck, thought it was in that region. Was going to get them changed before but for that price (as good as local) I would rather not gamble.
Noticed you were thinking about getting some instruction whilst there, I'll need a kick up the arse to make me but I really need it now. Not gonna get any quicker without it. Also going to get 100pc suspension to set up the rc8, should help a bit too.
My partner Kerry is coming along for the first time to one of my track days, bless her she does try hard to understand bikes. Do me a favour and keep an eye on her when I'm on track, she's a law unto herself!

Actually whilst it would be nice for it to be dry, I do want to try out my wets in a strange way.
Anyway the car is packed, bike is on the trailer and prepped. Ready for first stage of the weekend up to Cambridge to see my brother and then we travel over early Monday to Snett. Hopefully to grab a nice dry garage!

Not sure on the latest weather but I've only had the same as Pete, weather-wise - if it rains it stays wet despite the wind because you either get more rain or the track is so flat is doesn't dry.

Got there nice and early 6.30 on Monday to find drizzly wet weather and a soaking wet track from the nights rain. Joined in with some of the TDR crew in garage 12, also including our very own Lawman. Klinck turned up shortly after, followed by Dubs.
Literally got unloaded, drag wheels out and get the wets put on Good vid of you and Dubs, I enjoyed watching it. I'll try and get some video edited too.
Bloody long drive home, took 4 and half hours after all day on track. Still feel battered.
So all in all a cracking birthday over 2 days at Snett, roll on crashfest so we can do it all again!
