BHP Performance Show 2009.Monday 4th May. Lydden Hill, Kent.

Post by Scott Barton »

Lydden Hill Race Circuit, Bank Holiday Monday 4th May 2009.

I personally went to this event last year and it was a cracking show. Plenty of track action including drifting displays, shoot outs etc. If you are interested you can have track time your self as well.
Predominantly Japanese last year but there was other manufacturers and clubs there as well.

More info here

There is a short video trailer of last years show here

If you look closely, at 42 seconds, there i am in my Black T-Bar following the white car! 8)

I'll be there again this year. A club stand would be great. I have a car if you need another for a stand?

Is the stand just for show-quality cars? Or is it for all MR2s? If you're happy with a rusty MK1 on the stand then so am I :lol:
I only ask as this seems to be focused on performance/modified cars and really mine is neither :wink:

If you drive an MR2, whatever shape, colour, mods or level of rust... :oldtongue: ...you are more than welcome.

I will never restrict IMOC stands to modified only cars. :thumleft:

Nice one, I'll be there too.

Not sure about the track time yet though Scott, I've never done a trackday or anything so don't know whether it'd be suitable for a newbie. i might just see on the day.

Anyway, this gives me a target to sort out all the little things on my car :D

Well so far only 3 including myself are paid up. Need a minimum of 10 for a club stand... :(
Have posted on the OC as well and not much interest. Which is a shame as last years show was pretty good.

If we dont get the required numbers by Friday evening i will be refunding those who have paid as i wont be able to get the advance tickets.(Minimum of 10 for an order)

I will be there though come what may.
