Is the calendar wrong, or is there no race at Snetterton??

Suffolk Area were looking to go along to wave flags etc.

Yes - there is a Snetterton event race this year it's on August 17th. The calendar on the Race page is a provisional one from a few months ago.

The full and complete championship dates are listed on my Site and will be updated in the May Courier (missed the dealine for April) - I'm writing the article now but am waiting for the Silverstone results before sending it off.

  No Croft though...the only circuit less than two hours from my house. Oh well...

    Michael,
    Hear, hear!
    Shall we start a "Northern Championship"? That would be one in the eye for all those soft Southern woosser nancies.
    
    But hang on. The new RACING TRIUMPHS website (http://www.racingtriumphs.co.uk) has been set up to provide the racer support so lacking from this and the TRR website. Look at their guide to the circuits, where Croft is compared as an equal with Brands or Donington. Don't know why we're not there this year, but with praise like that we can hope to go again.

      As I understand it - we did have a provisional Croft race this year but the dates were moved and then clashed with another race we had already signed up for.
      
      So unfortunately we had to pass on it this time. Many of the drivers like the Croft circuit and they all say it's well worth the drive - 9 hours for some!

        Croft is good for spectators too since you can get pretty close to the action. Unlike some places where you have a crowd barrier, a strip of grass, a huge fence, another big piece of grass, a gravel trap and then the track!

      John,
      
      Thanks for the link to the "Racing Triumphs" website.
      
      I have added it to the "Internet Links" page.
