John,

I would just like to thank you for the tickets for Snetterton.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves even if it was somewhat wet & cold, but the racing was worth getting cold & wet for!!!

Also many thanks for showing me your brilliant race Vitesse and allowing me to have a sit in it and a play with the accelerator!!
It really sounded awesome!!!!

I am now really enthused to have a go at a track day!!

Hope to see you soon!!

Julie

Julie

Fred Slezak organises track days for 'The Opposition' at CT. I am sure you would be more than welcome if you asked as the invite is always extended.

She has a profile so you can send her a PM.

Cheers

Colin

    Stop press:
    
    Julie Sewell tries out the latest creation from John Davies, a racing Vitesse Estate debuted at Snetterton last weekend that he has made all the panels 50% bigger.

      Thanks for that Vin!!!
      
      Just as well you took it before I was allowed a play on the accelerator cos I think my hair was standing on end by then!!!
      
      The engine sounded fantastic, but alas I'm not sure I would master all the buttons and switches let alone reach the pedals!!!
      
      Was good to catch up with you as well, and will be very jealous of you all sunning yourselves in Le Mans while I am at Stafford this year!!!!
      
      Hopefully the next Le Mans will not clash with our International and I might even have my Spitfire ready, but under the influence of you lot not quite sure how many modifications I will be talked into.

        There is plenty of space if you want to 'come over all queer' and escape the country under cover of darkness.
        
        David will never notice!
        
        Just say you got lost checking out the rear of the Silverback!

      Vin,
      You've sussed my cunning plan!
      No one has noticed, have they, that the doors are an inch shorter than normal?
      Just add lightness!
      
      But Smokey Yanuck did that better than anybody.
      His Chevelle, No.13, was doing very well in the 1966 NASCAR series.
      So well that Chevrolet started to take an interest.
      Bad move!
      They brought a showroom car down to the track and sat it in the paddock next to No.13
      And everyone realised that No.13 was only 7/8ths the size of the street car -and a lot lighter too!
      
      John
      
      Thankyou John Davies
