23rd October Inaugeral Historic V8 Race Snetterton UK - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

This is the prelude to a new series in the UK that could well become very BIG!! At the moment as the organiser Bernie Codash has just told me we have no less than 36 cars entered with only two spots left on the grid so is bound to be a sell out! Its for any car fitted with a V8 as standard but generally 80's and earlier although no cut off has yet been annouced. There is no less than 10 Camaros currently entered and its as much a surprise to me as it was to Bernie as we never realised there was that many racing Camaros in the whole of the UK! We have 4 Aston Martin V8's several Sunbeam Tigers and MGB V8's and of course Mustangs. With 38 cars on the grid I calculate that is something in the region of 15200 horses being unleashed when the flag goes down and must surely be some sort of record for a UK club race. Its also in aid of Help the Heros the UK war vet charity and we are hoping some of the guys who have been injured will be our guests, also trying to get some American servicemen interest from nearby RAF Lakenheath where a lot of the USAF guys are based.

I will keep you updated on this potentially very exciting event. I havn't decided which car to take yet and will decide after my next event where I am taking both and comapre lap times.

Hey Al! I looked through some of the photos and that looked like a good time. Sadly I can't watch the video's at work and missed checking them out last night (never got to a PC last night at all). Glad to hear it's improving and moving in the right direction. I'd love to come visit for a race weekend some day, that sounds like lots of fun. Besides, I'm not a bad crew chief when it comes to these cars. lol. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)
