Vauxhall Performance Car Show
| The Show |
 This
was an event purely for the Vauxhall owned members of the club and we had
a pretty good display. Cars ranged from a 1.2 Corsa to a Vectra 3.0 V6. It
was an early start, we all set off in convoy down the M1. On arrival at Santa
Pod the traffic had built up which meant we had a short wait to get inside.
There were lots of top motos waiting to get in. When inside we headed for
our show space, which turned out to be rather small. It was a squeeze but
we managed to get all our cars on the space provided. Once parked up we all
set to and did the most important part of the day - cleaning!! Except for
Matt Fensom who camped over, so he just sat back and watched the rest of us
hard at work. |

Once cleaning had finished everyone disappeared to watch
the drag racing or to take a stroll around the show. There were some top motos
there this year and I’m sure, no doubt some cars gave inspiration to others.
Temptation of the drag strip was too much for some members. Mick Welsh with
his Cavalier set the ball rolling when he signed up. Rob Bett too could not
resist as he was soon on his way to get signed up. They both had 3 runs and
they were buzzing. At this point we have no results for these runs but as
soon as we get them they will be added to the site. After a very long day we all decided it was time to call it a day as many cars had already left the show. We took a few short cuts to try to get out of Santa Pod a bit quicker but it was still a bit slow moving. Once on the road out came the camera again!! |
