***TRACKDAY, Snetterton (Norfolk), Thurs 26 July***

[Casey]

Booking is now taking place for this full day Open Pit Lane trackday. The cost for the day is £199, plus there is an option to drive in an evening session too, approx 6-9pm. The day is being organised by Pettit Racing in conjunction with Mazda on Track.

Its a big track and the plan is to try and make it a "closed group" event, so we need to get plenty of people signed up. Bring your friends, no matter what car they have.

A group of us had a really great time on this fabulous new 300 circuit last year. 3 miles of gloriously refurbished track with new bends and infield, 2 long straights, 2 challenging hairpins and 2 fantastic "onto the straights" complexes... all in all a UK great.

With evening BBQ, it will be a fun social event as well. Everyone is welcome to come along to mingle, chat, blag some passenger rides or just come along to hang out and maybe take some pictures.

Booking link is HERE. Or there is a link on the Pettitracing.co.uk homepage

If you are unfamiliar with this track then here\'s one complete lap of the "300" circuit taken from my drive around Snetterton last year - turn the sound down though as the wind noise is a bit loud!



If there are any questions about this day then just post up in here or send me a PM.

I\'ve done a bit of searching and found the Breckland Lodge. Its only a few miles from the circuit and includes secure parking, a carvery and a coffee room.

http://www.brecklandlodge.co.uk

They have 33 rooms and only a few are booked at the moment. I\'ve already booked and hope to see you there!

I have booked both days off work so i can travel down anytime, afternoon of the 25th sounds like a plan

Sounds good Jim

[C J R]

Brilliant, I\'m up for a convoy....but Jim and Steve will have to drive slower, or stop a lot while I fill up the FD !!!!
 
Just need to replace the UJ\'s on the steering, as the upper UJ is \'shot\' and the lower UJ has some \'play\' in the joints.
 
Oh, and I have another Gearbox to fit !!! :Hammer
 
I bet the rest of you just have to wash and polish your RX\'s !

I\'ve just updated the list of participants in the first post ^^ up there

Places are still available for this event - booking link is HERE. Or there is a link on the Pettitracing.co.uk homepage

This is a great track and with a growing bunch of rotary cars and owners coming along, so I\'m really looking forward to this one!

Spectators/Passengers are welcome to come along too. Entry to the track is FREE, you\'ll just need a helmet (available for hire on the day, or bring your own), plus a fee of ~£10 for a passenger wristband for the entire day - blag a ride in any car!

[Casey]

19 rotaries on the list so far.......

Hey Casey, What is the DB limit at Snetterton?

Used an App on my phone and it read about 104 on idle :s

[Casey]

104dB on idle :2eek That\'s LOUD - no chance of getting on any UK circuit with that level. Are you sure you measured it correctly? I suspect the iPhone app isn\'t that accurate. You can purchase a db ("A" weighted, not "C") for less than £20 off Amazon. I\'ve just ordered one as I\'m getting lots of questions about noise levels. Rather than waste money on a trackday to find your car is too loud, might be worth investing in one of these?

Note there is a "drive by" limit (measured at 20 metres) at Snett, as well as the static test.

Snetterton is 105dB(A) at 6,000rpm; use THIS LINK which tells you all you need to know about levels and how it\'s tested.

[Kodiak]

Well as I say, it was only an App :p

it was reading ambient noise at 40-50db!

Cheers for the link! :cool

Going to Combe (The Local) to watch a TVR mate thrash his car around on the 5th. Will see if I can blag a free test there
