Snetterton?
I was looking through the totalkitcar website just now and found an advert for their show at Snetterton on 28th August.
Great I thought as it's fairly close to me, and read up on the preview here.
Is it me, or do they seem to have a funny attitude? It reads like "we're only interested in people who want to buy kits, and sod the rest
of the kit car owners who might want to turn up and meet each other!"
Or am I being over-sensitive?

Im going there to see and hopefully try some 7's out on the track. The day would be a lot better if more cars and clubs came. But like you said
they only seem to be interested in selling and not the club stuff. shame really because it would make a change to have a show around here.

Do they think nobody's going to go just to go round the track in kit cars possibly for free, how naive are they?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I'll be going under the pretence of updating the motor(there are a few I'd think of trading up for in the future)
If they didn't want that many kitcars turning up why do they offer kitcar drivers entry at £5.
Don't worry about your senitivity David it ok
See you there Dan.

I am looking to go. Its some where relatively near, £5 entry, and takes up a day..
BUT... Its somewhere to drive the Viento and I dont need much excuse for that. Just some dry weather.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
Geoff

If everything goes to plan you should find me
I did the Brands day last year with GTS.
A good day for watching cars and riding in them.
No "bits" exhibitors except Tifosi & ProTech at Brands so I would immagine it will be similar at Snetterton.
Plenty of chance to chat to manufacturers and get a look at their cars in action rather than just on a static display.
Hoping to have my car on track as GTS demonstrator

It's just up the road for me. I think I'll go along. It would be good to meet up with some fellow Locosters including the Suffolk/Essex
mob again!

I think someone in TotalKitCar reads this forum...
I just spotted the following text added onto the event description:
Contrary to what certain people may claim ALL are welcome at totalkitcar LIVE. We'd love to see owners, enthusiasts and potential customers
alike. The point I was trying to make was that you won't be able to take your own cars on track, BUT you can go for as many passenger rides as
your heart desires.
As if we would misunderstand their intentions...

I may be there.
If I am MOT'd by then and the weather looks good, I may take the drive down through Lincolnshires lanes.

Bugger! ive just got my tickets for totalkitcar at snetterton and i have ordered to many, so if anyone wants 2 tickets for it i have them spare, they
cost me £8 each. These tickets are for people that are not taking a kit car to the show.
Any offer considered.
Can send them in the post or can give you them on the day at the gates.
cheers

According to the Snetterton race track's web site, if You turn up in a kit car it's £5 entry and you get to park in the VIP area!

Unfortunately owners will not be allowed to take their cars on-track - kit manufacturers doing demos only.
