Snetterton Jim Russell Trophy 30th May 2009 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A spell of settled weather provided another glorious day for our second visit to Snetterton and a perfect day for multiple Formula 3 Champion, Jim Russell to attend the prize giving. It also resulted in some spectacular times with several cars lapping in the 1:33s. Sadly absentees included Neil Hodges (away on business) and John Turner (indisposed and to whom all send best wishes); on the plus side we welcomed eight week old Laura Fowler. Is this an early statement of intent? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Race
A paddock lunch followed by the Autosport 3 hour race and a pleasant drive through quiet leafy country lanes took us to Paul Hewes’ magnificent home. Poor Paul had had a wretched day but he and Jenny once again treated us and the Juniors who were racing the next day to a splendid supper and tipple. Highlight of the writer’s evening was Jim Russell’s uncontrolled mirth when one of our more substantial members replied that yes, he does drive a 500! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
