Snetterton 21st November Full Day Open Pit £109

Post by pnelson »

I'm booked in on Monday the 21st with my Rev 5 NA.

If anyone fancies it and can get the day off of work it should be a laugh! I'll be there with a couple of people (probably in a Clio 172 and an Astra VXR).

Would like to try and get on this but don't think I'l have my brakes sorted by then.

Should be ready for one in December though!

You guys didn't miss much. It was wet all day, went out for the sighting laps and the car was all over the place.

Watched everyone go round for a bit, then decided to take the car out. I didn't even make it round a full lap before spinning! Called it a day at that point as it wasn't worth risking damaging the car.

Bit of a shame - think I'll have to accept track days will have to be a summer activity for me.

What tyres are you running? MR2's can be great fun in the wet.

Nankangs and Falkens, can't remember which axle is which.

Think it was my own inexperience rather than a mechanical issues though.

There's your problem #-o

Get some decent tyres on there and try again. Wet track days can be a lot of fun (not to mention a valuable learning experience). Start slow and ease yourself into it throughout the day :)

NS2s in the wet are hilarious on an MX-5; I wouldn't be so keen on trying that on an MR2 though *sensible shoes*
