London Motorsports Show

**Asp** · 23 Nov 2006, 11:13 (Ref:1773041)

An expansion of the highly successful London Karting show is coming up in a couple of weeks - I've got to go for my dissertation (The sacrifices I have to make for my degree ), so should be there on the Sunday - looks like it should be fun.

Anyone else?

Richard Sneader · 25 Nov 2006, 14:21 (Ref:1774756)

Will be there both days on the British Motorsports Marshals Club stand with other club members, all come and say hello. If anyone is interested in marshalling or what we do come and find out.
Richard.

Well seeing as its in London and having just spent 3 hours stuck on the motorway attempting to go to the CTCRC agm in the Midlands (did'nt make it) I will probably go, about time shows etc were held back in London instead of that awful NEC place.

You didn't try the M1 did you? It has been closed.
BTW, it could take you just as long to get to Excel from where you are.

chris cake · 26 Nov 2006, 13:20 (Ref:1775276)

Will be on the 2007 RALLYCROSS OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP stand both days .
Please come along and say hello and grab some info on our new class regs .

Rod Birley · 26 Nov 2006, 14:15 (Ref:1775289)

I think the Excel show has a lot of potential for people based in the south east. I agree with Al about the NEC.

M1 closed as well it was horrendous out there this morning! The meeting was just off junction 12 of the M40 so I thought I would nip on the M25 at Watford and pick up the M40, big mistake they clossed it just after I got on it and I was stuck there for nearly 3 hours so missed the AGM, sort of sums up my season. Oh and it will be easy peasy to get to the London one because I will simply walk down to Bushey station and go by train.

Flat Out Farr · 27 Nov 2006, 08:12 (Ref:1775684)

I will be at Excell with the Good lady; Also Know PacerRacer, Grichie87 and Mr Newton will be there; so see you all there!

**Stephen Green** · 27 Nov 2006, 09:07 (Ref:1775736)

I will be there on the Marshals Club stand (88) so as Richard has already said, drop by and sey hello.

Shouldn't you be at the AGM - being a National Officer?

**Stephen Green** · 27 Nov 2006, 15:34 (Ref:1775959)

Indeed I should but the date for the AGM was announced after we had committed to the show. I have to say that recruiting new marshals is probably more important at the moment, and I will be submitting a written report in my absense

**silver bullet** · 6 Dec 2006, 08:56 (Ref:1783113)

I have a complimetary ticket I can not use. So if anybody wants it PM your address and I will post it to you.

**Asp** · 10 Dec 2006, 18:09 (Ref:1786950)

What did people think then?
Still very much the London Kart show IMHO, just with a bit added on. Some nice things were added on, but there didn't seem to be that much extra. It's a foundation to build up, but I'd probably have been disappointed if I'd not have got a complimentary ticket.

Suze · 10 Dec 2006, 18:15 (Ref:1786956)

Just got home as went today. Thought the actual karting bit itself was not too good - personally wouldn't pay "show rates" to go karting anyway but for the space they had available, they used less than half of it for the track!

Didn't really look at the karting stuff as little interest there for me, but was better than ASI IMO simply because it was a little more club based - and though I'd heard it was small before going, in some ways it was nice as didn't take so long to walk around! Just like AS though, was nice to catch up with various people and see familiar faces. Asp, think you hit the nail on the head saying it's the kart show with bits added on. I think it needs to establish itself though, and that will take some time.

From an exhibiting point of view, I know a couple of people who were very pleased. Funny looking at the price of karts, then some of the other series on offer, many of which cheaper - eg BARC Tin Tops and Formula Vee. Looks like it already has made some people convert over.

As an aside, I would liked to have seen more DTRC on the BARC SE stand - simply because to me that's one of their bigger series and one I enjoy the most. However, when I wondered over there was no-one on the stand so not to say no-one would have talked about it once wondered over!

750MC stand was good too and nice to see the Radical LMP2 too.

**Tim Falce** · 10 Dec 2006, 18:24 (Ref:1786961)

I quite enjoyed the rear view of the two young ladies on the big stand in the centre aisle near the entrance, can't for the life of me remember what they were selling though.
