MGOT TRACK DAY AT SNETTERTON APRIL 14

All

Dave Livingstone has been in touch and for the first time they have loads of spaces for Easter Tuesday at Snetterton.

DAVE WRITES

In five years of MGs on Track, I have never had to appeal for your help like this before. Our Snetterton day on 14th April (Easter Tuesday) still has 19 places unsold in the two MG sessions and a further 19 places unsold in the MX5 session. With three weeks to go both clubs - MGoT and MX5OC - are looking at substantial losses - for the first time ever. So how can you help?

If you're already booked in: - can you bring a friend? We're happy to have any compatible car - clearly not something outrageously out of character with an MGoT day. We will continue to run one MG only session which should accomodate most of you already booked in. The second session will be mixed marque and some of you may be happy to run in that session leaving spaces in the MG only session for those that want that.

If you are a track day regular: - can you recommend a friend? As above really, but please explain our track day etiquette, as you won't be there to guide them on the day. Alternatively, can we twist your arm on this day? Give yourself an Easter treat!

If you've never been on an MGoT day before: - can we tempt you? We'll offer free instruction and assign you a track day buddy (from our committee or regulars) to make sure that you're well looked after. We'll ask our regulars to make way for you in the MG only session. Any of you who attended North Weald in February - remember that you have an offer on the table!

Everyone: If you have any contacts in compatible clubs - Mini, Triumph, Austin Healey etc. please can you email them or post on their forums - whatever it takes to spread the word. However, please take care with the caveats above - about compatibility with MGs and track day etiquette. We must not compromise our day.

What else can we do? Please put on your thinking caps. Also, what's gone wrong here? Your feedback would be useful. We know there is a recession on, but Silverstone sold out all 80 places in less than two weeks when we opened it for bookings. What's different with Snetterton? It sold out two sessions without difficulty last year. Was the Easter week a mistake? Please let us know. Remember that we are a club and if we lose money on this event it seriously compromises our ability to deliver the wonderful calendar below.


If you are interested or know someone who may be then please email Dave
