Well this weekend has to go down as being one of the best in memory. For once, well the first time in about 6 years, the weather was kind. Its amazing what good weather dose for attendance.

Too many pictures for me to post up but if you want to know what a good kit car show looks like in the UK then check the photos out via the link :spin:

Was a fantastic weekend, with so much to see.

Things really taking off for MEV here in the UK 17 cars/kits sold in just that weekend :spin:

First we had the launch of the Rocket race series at the end of last year with the new Race Rocket being show off at Stoneleigh, and now Exocet racing starts very soon. (Exocet racing will be on specified shocks, wheels and tyres with a 1.8 engine 'no forced air' and full cage with steel floors)

Jonathon Blake is the man behind the Exocet race series, who also runs the MX5 championships here in the UK.

Just so much going on at the moment :D

Wow Nigel, great news! The market for kits in the U.S. seems to be limited to Cobras, Speedsters and dune buggies. It's much more robust in the UK. I'd personally like to see more in-car videos of these cars at speed on the track. Passing Porsche's, perhaps? :)
