Sunday morning run to Snett will be fun, cant do camping cos .... - I'll stick it on the calendar and you never know, the decorating might be done by then, my better half will probably come along.We would like to be allowed into the M100 bit if there is one.

I am going to be there, need to set up a club stand so will be looking at camping I think. I have never done Snetterton so does anyone know, or are you already arranging an LEC camping trip?

Circuit entrance on Saturday and Sunday
Weekend camping – Friday and Saturday nights
BBQ on Saturday evening
Band on Saturday evening
Use of SELOC Marquee throughout the weekend

Much much much more to follow... "

Just booked my ticket

Apart from it's the lotus festival, not just "another race weekend"!

Paste from http://www.lotus-festival.com/event_info.html:

"Snetterton will be celebrating one of Britain's most iconic marques on Sunday 20 June when it hosts the Classic Team Lotus Festival, featuring superb demonstrations, displays and racing.
One of the highlights of the event will be a stunning gathering of Team Lotus F1 cars, including Jim Clark's 1965 Indianapolis-winning Lotus Ford 38 - which will only be appearing in the UK for a short while before returning to the Henry Ford collection in the USA.

There will also be a packed programme of Lotus racing, starring Lotus Cup Europe and Lotus on Track Elise Trophy. Other track action includes the GAZ Shocks Production BMW Championship, Heritage Grand Touring Car Challenge and the Mono Championship for single seaters.

Plus you can enjoy classic Lotus parades, display areas from several Lotus clubs, a huge exhibition area and a fantastic party atmosphere."

I can speak to Paul and see about parking allocation for the M100's. How about getting some info together on A4 sheets to stick on the windscreens? There were lots of people coming up to the cars and asking about them last year. We could even set up the LEC stand????

Elan or KA doesn't really matter. You'd still be welcome if you turned up on a skateboard.

At this point in time this is a big YES. Whose up for camping, drinking home brew vodka and keeping the neighbors up to the wee hours . I'll try and not end up having an allergic reaction to my sun cream this time as well!!

[ShaunM]

I still have memories of the front of your yellow Elan absolutely smothered with dead flies!

[nicowalker1]

you lot had better watch it if i do come along,
Rips 16" fred wheels check
Shauns S2 galv bones check
G UK 2.5" piper, chip, BOV, brakes and what ever else will fit in a ford KA

no! im not a scouser!!!

[rip]

what ever else will fit in a ford KA

Temp gauge would be a good start. IIRC KA's don't have one so if the stat gets stuck open, you don't know about it.

You also forgot the following:

S2/AB gear cables
Dorman rear calipers
CF rear light panel

At least roll hoops are bigger then they look!

[Monty]

Wish i could of made this but got a trackday on the 18th at Anglesey

[ShaunM]

Bought a (proper) tent this weekend, starting to get excited. Doe anyone have specs and information of the Elan that I can print onto A4 sheets? I wasn to laminate them and stick to the windscreen for the other Lotus owners to read. Last year there was a lot of interest and questions about the M100's, so would be nice to have the info there for people to read when we aren't around to speak to them

[rip]

Not sure if my Elan will make this now. My starter appears to have failed so I can only leave it parked on a hill!

Rip,

If you're coming to Castle Combe, and can't get yourself sorted locally, let me know and I'll have a route through my spares pile

[revlj]
