Hi Folks,

This was also in my inbox, looks a giggle.

The Retro Show at Santa Pod

Saturday 2 July (RWYB) & Sunday 3 July 2011

Back to the Past – FAST!

Fans of retro and classic cars and bikes will love The Retro Show at Santa Pod on Sunday the 18th July.

This is an event with a difference; rather than just having rows upon rows of lovingly cherished classics, owners and show-goers get the opportunity to see them running and racing in anger!

You won’t see any boy racers and their modern modified carnations and Jap cars here for this show as it’s dedicated to life as it was 40 odd years ago with carburettors, air-cooling, drum brakes being the height of technology.  All retro vehicles including cars, motorbikes, scooters and lorries from the 1950’s to the 1980’s are welcome, as well as classics from both sides of the Atlantic.  Even the current crop of ‘neo-retro’ incarnations like the new Mini, Beetle and Fiat 500 are also encouraged along.

During the show we will have many attractions to keep you entertained, including:

Run What Ya Brung (RWYB) - run your car on the track and get the chance to flex its automotive muscles on a proper racing track (£25 sign on fee payable).

Autoglym Show & Shine Competition - great for the car buffing and polishing fraternity.  A chance to display your pride and joy and perhaps even win a prize.  

NEW for 2011 – London Rally School will be on site demonstrating and giving passenger rides in an all time favorite rally car, the Mk2 Ford Escort RS2000!  (extra charge applies).

Fireforce 4 - Martin Hill’s NEW amazing jet-powered funny car.  This will shock and amaze in equal measure, as it hits 270mph in a shade over 5 seconds!

Handling Course - you can drive your own car against the clock around our tight challenging course.  It’s free entry and prize for the quickest run of the day.

Retro Drift Cars – sideways action from a better era, courtesy of British Drift Team Morelysport, Mk1 Escorts and other many other marque’s will be demonstrating how it used to be done.  

Podzilla Monster Truck - 1500bhp of car-crushing monster truck madness!

We also have the Autotrader cars for sale area, autojumble, funfair and a selection of traders keep you amused all weekend long.  Not to forget the LIVE Saturday night evening entertainment!

Are you a member of a club?  If so then great, we have free infield parking so you and your mates can park together and show off the club.  A prize is up for grabs for the ‘Best Club Display’.

Get it in the diary now!  Advanced tickets are available (up to 24th June) for only £12 for the Sunday and £20 for full weekend camping and entertainment.  For club parking pre-registration is needed. Kids under 13 go free, so why not pile the whole clan into your classic and cruise on down?
