I think we are happy to stay for the meal after the event.

[Casey]

^^ Good stuff, you know it makes sense :Giggle

Let me have your food pre-order before the weekend (as per my post on the RX8OC thread).

@samoht - forgot to say C J R will be pleased that there will be another FD on track :cool

[Casey]

Bump! There were still a few places left on Friday! Bargain at £89.10 for a full OPL day :Thumbs-up

Now sold out.

Hoping for a good day !

[C J R]

Well, thought getting the FD back would be sufficient to enjoy this session. Unfortunately the trailer storage facility had a fire last night and my trailer was partly destroyed !!

Managed to secure a replacement trailer for hire, but have to return it Saturday morning !

I\'d post up a couple of pictures but i phone pictures keep getting rejected by the site.

Hopefully I\'ll still see you all Friday.

Wow, that\'s bad luck!!  Well done arranging a replacement trailer, hope it doesn\'t end up too much hassle.

Is the mega-FD not road legal?

[C J R]

:Giggle yes its road legal, but you all know my luck on track. Drive it there and trailer it back !!

[Casey]

Unbelievable Chris! What incredibly bad luck, but glad to hear you\'ve managed to hire another trailer.

I take it your trailer is repairable, just not in the timescale? Is it insured?

[Casey]

Only a few days now! BBC weather forecast looks promising, but to distant to be reliable

CLICK HERE: DROPBOX link to Briefing document

Most of it is very familiar stuff for the regulars, but page one contains;

1. List of attendees
2. Buddy pairs
3. Garage allocations

I strongly suggest you print off at least page one and bring it with you. We definitely have SIX garages, and I\'ve asked for an extra one.

PLEASE use the attached allocations to share as indicated; Garage 1 being the closest to the signing on office, garage 7 the furthest. These will NOT be the actual garage numbers, simply the number in the GROUP we are allocated. I shall aim to get to the circuit by 7.30am (traffic and weather permitting!) and will probably need to collect the keys for all the garages, as they are normally locked. If this is the case just park up in the paddock area until we\'ve got the keys.

Holy crap Chris, you really have bad luck :/ Btw, have you repaired that dent from last years bad luck?

I´m so jealous for you guys. Your tracks are open in middle of winter. Our tracks are closed basically 6 months. Usually we can go to lake and icerace, but this year we have crappy year so we cant do even that. And my crap/toy is waiting for shakedown...

[C J R]

So Insurance think trailer will be a write off !!!
 
It was fully refurbished in December by a professional trailer company and I have only owned it from 4th January !!!:(
 
Only one side has been fire damaged, but as you would expect, both tyres melted/rims buckled. Bearings and suspension damaged. Wiring and lights melted. Towing hitch affected by heat and as its a tipping trailer the hydraulic ram is not holding pressure !!!
 
At east it was just a trailer, 8 people are without caravans.

[shaunwil]

Hell fire ! At least the car wasn\'t sat on the trailer waiting to get used.

Enjoy the day !

Weather looking good for Friday, bring suntan lotion for the morning    , no clouds forecast 8am-2pm, then patchy clouds in afternoon, but no rain :Thumbs-up . Looking good for those of us with trackday semi-slick tyres  

Temps 4-8 degrees, not bad for February!

Might be a bit windy, as Snetterton is quite exposed, forecast gusts of ~30mph, so bring warm layers to wear in between track stints.
