National Kit Car Show

I have a clash so cannot make it. Anyone fancy being the de-facto club president this year?

Responsibilities involve saying "Yes" and then sharing your postal address so I can send the free tickets and stuff.

Benefits include easy free entry and easy free parking plus bragging rights and any extortion rackets you want to run against other club members.

PM Me. Biggest bribe or first come wins.

I intend on going this year but not sure which day and I hope my mx250 will be completed too.
11 Jan 2020, 7:18pm
Anybody else planning on going?
11 Jan 2020, 11:47pm
I'll be there one of the two days.

Remember the dates have changed this year, the event is on the 2nd and 3rd of May which is the Saturday and Sunday !

There isn't a bank holiday Monday, the day off for most is moved to Friday the 8th to coincide with VE day !!

Hi Nick,

I have not dived in to claim this as i am only going on the Saturday and someone else may be better suited if they go both days. I (have to be back home for a close family birthday on the Sunday) will be there with the usual red Kobra though and looking forward to seeing those that can attend.

If you don’t get any PMs here will you try the FB Tribute Group ?

Thanks

Dave

Don’t think you need them , turn up on the day in your kit car and get in for free.

No need for advance tickets unless you want to stay in the on site accommodation. Free entry on the gate for kit car drivers, a few quid if you want to camp and that's it.

I was considering getting a pre booked ticked for the CEO. It’s free for kit drivers and either £15 on the day or £12 (plus 50p) in advance.

I am definitely going Saturday. Have digs booked Friday night in Kenilworth. Need to buy dinner for said CEO to make it more attractive:)

Was there not a Tribute Automotive area?

Should be, just park up there. Not sure what state the show ground is in this year. They had cordoned off some of it last time for the HS2 works that had just started.

Cheers guys

Just a thought but Corona virus may kick this into touch...

Maybe, maybe not ! I think a proportional response, like right now, will do more good than looking down the road a couple of months. I would expect to see all air travel suspended, all larger work places closed down, schools closed etc etc . If all that fails then low key, largely out door events ( kit Car / motoring events etc ) might be hit too. Who knows, this is the UK, not a state controlled country like China. I think it will be hard to stop people doing their thing.

Me too.

I called the organisers today and no indication of any cancels. They also confirmed the plot for Tribute Owners Club is 49B same as last year. Until the official show ground map is released we are not sure exactly where it will be.

I must do a few tings to Max before I take him (my name for the red Kobra)

Nothing on the website yet, just last years post. I don't think restrictions for events are lifted until after the usual show date.

I think they tried to run it in August last year but weren't allowed.
Perhaps they will try the same dates this year?
We should be Okay by then......:hail::hail::hail:

I haven't received any of the usual paper work for the club pitch yet
6 Mar 2021, 10:26am
According to Steve Holes weekly blog, part of site is being used as a vaccination centre so that could make things a bit complicated .
But maybe late August bank holiday weekend could be a possibility?

I know Silverstone Auctions and Classic Car Auctions have been using the main exhibition halls to store cars and run their online auctions events. That was the case last year, they appeared to have block booked it for longer term. Not sure what the arrangements are going forward.

Looks like it’s on this year now, end of August . Has anybody received any info about our normal pitch or not ?
