This schedule is fairly firm but it is essential to
check with the JEC before travelling.

ALL
JAGUAR RACE
A one off 40 minute race for
any Jaguar from the 4 JEC series. This was a rare opportunity to see XK's
competing alongside the saloons, XJS's, and PBJ's.
It was also a real test of the
drivers and cars that normally only complete 15 minutes plus one lap.
Unfortunately I could not make
it to Snetterton, therefore the information is somewhat sparse! I would be
grateful if anyone has any pictures or information that I can add to the page.

My first drive at the Norfolk race track. We arrived
in the camper at about 9pm Friday evening. As usual I had been working on the
car all week until 8 or 9 in the evening, and all day Friday! It was as ready
as it was going to be! It was absolutely freezing, and no electric hookup! We
were not happy bunnies!!!!!
Everything always seems better in the morning,
and Hypothermia was beginning decline. There were strict instructions not to
sign on early, which I foolishly obeyed
P
, only to have to abandon the Queue and present
myself for the new drivers briefing. Kevin Doyle kindly looked after my License
and my place in the Queue but was long gone by the time I returned. I presumed
that He had left it at the counter, but they insisted it wasn't there! I then
did a few practice laps of the Paddock trying to find Kevin. When I eventually
did find Him, He told me that He had left it at the signing in desk. My immediate
thoughts were oh what a shame but never mind!
On my return to the desk they did of course have
my license! By now the last of the XJS's had gone through scrutineering, and
I had to push my way to the front of the long queue, if I was going to make
it to the practice. Please please please don't find anything wrong with the
car? It was OK! Phew!!! Surely things can only improve?
Being a great believer in the magical qualities
of Shell Optimax we decided to go in search of some fuel, having failed to obtain
any the previous day. To cut a long story short there isn't any within the vicinity
of Snetterton. Failed! Plan B, look at the circuit guide and head for the nearest
fuel station to the circuit. No sign of it? I then asked in a motorcycle showroom
and they enlightened me that this station closed down 5 years ago! 20 mile round
trip, still no fuel (I have been known to exaggerate on occasions). Fortunately
they do sell fuel at the track, which was about 10 yards from where I started
my fruitless search! Morale of the story is don't assume anything and be prepared!
