Welcome to 2012 everyone.
On top of our popular shows at Brands Hatch & Thruxton we held a new event
at Mallory Park in 2011 which being the first of its kind in the UK included
a Stop & Go race with the Show Truck entrants taking part as well as the
Race Trucks.
Well things are shaping up to be a busy year with us holding 8 Truck Shows across
the UK in 2012
We will be at Mallory Park at the end of May this year and will again be organising
on track activities for the Show Trucks drivers to demonstrate their skill behind
the wheel of their working truck.Vintage Trucks, Tractors, Buses etc will all
be welcome at the show this year.
An all new Truck Festival is being created at Lydenn Hill, Nr Dover in June
which promises be be a real family Trucking weekend with live music and a Hog
Roast as well as Race Truck demo races and rides with showtruck parades and
on track competitions.
After years of campagning for a new venue to take the spectacular British Truck
Racing Assocation race trucks we have finally been given a green light to stage
rounds 11 & 12 of the 2012 British Championships at Snetterton Circuit,
Nr Thetford.Motorsport Vision who own the circuit are keen to get Truck Racing
firmly on the map in the Eastern counties and are asking for local Showtrucks
from local business,s to attend to compliment the race meeting.Lets not dissapoint
them, so spread the word - New Event - New Truckers Wanted to attend.
Hope to see you all,and some new faces in 2012.
Book early to avoid dissapointment - limited places only at all events.

BRANDS HATCH NOVEMBER 2008 |
|
| 185 trucks turned out in dreary November to what is now established as the best and in fact now the only Truck Show in Kent and the South East. The Truckers had an up close view of the action on track between the competetive race trucks of the BTRA as the final rounds of the British Truck Racing Championships took place on this famous old fashioned circuit. Whilst the Saturday night in the Kentagon is described as the best evening
down the pub at any UK truck event, it is the twylight convoy where these
drivers get their biggest enjoyment of the weekend, in my opinion. This event truly is unique when you watch 1000 tons of steel circulate
this place lit up with the best moving light show on earth.

Thruxton 2008 |
|
|
141 trucks booked in to the 5th annual Thruxton Truck Show arranged at
the International Truck Racing weekend in Hampshire. This event has now
established itself on the calendar as the place to be with your truck
in the South of England in the summer. Mixed weather conditions over the
weekend saw umbrellas used on the Saturday, and then hot sunshine on the
Sunday. But of course the weather outside didn't matter in the baron Saturday
evening as the boys all had a cracking night well into the early hours.

Donington Park 2008 |
|
|
New for 2008 was the Donington Park event at the end of July. It was
a challenge to get regular and new trucks interested to attend this new
venue. Other truck shows in the UK are seeing seriously reduced numbers
on the show field, and here I am trying to start a new one! |
