This year is the 26th show. This is a fantastic show. The festival is both an indoor and outdoor show. The main focus as always will be the superb stands in the main hall where the major kit car manufacturers display their many individual and exciting cars. Everything from three-wheeled cars, utility vehicles, two or four seater sports cars and super cars, something to suit everyone.
We normally go to the show on the Saturday morning and a few of us camp over. We enjoy a BBQ and a few beers on the Saturday evening returning home on the Sunday afternoon.

Newark kit car show 2005
As Danny had such a good time at the area club BBQ, he started the next
day asking if he could come along to the national kit car show at
I thought this would be a good idea as I would probably be the only
Easthood camping this year.
I left home at
We left along the A17 to arrive at the show for 10.30.
I left to go and erect the gazebo and tent followed by lunch. My car was on the
club stand by 12.30.
The RHOCAR stand this year was in a more central position than normal.
6am
There was a new exhibition hall built and this housed the manufacturers of cars and a
few trade standsThe remaining trade stands where housed out side.
The weather was, dare I say too hot. But the show was great; however there was a
lack of some of the normal trade and kit suppliers.
I was told that there were 60 Hoods present on Saturday (I sure that in the past there
have been 120)Graham Dockerill arrived to join me at
Sue and Roy who had travelled to the show in their tin top
.
After Saturdays tour was over we returned to the camp site (same as last year)
And as normal the fun and frolics began, we were joined by Swan, Andy Barbet,
John Tween, And Stephen Altwasser.
Graham again had a dodgy piece of equipment in the way of a gas stove that didn’t cook.
We had a few beers a walk around the show ground and then a few more beers,
some very nice caramelized bananas courtesy of Stephen.
Graham found his way to the pavilion bar to be entertained by
a Robin Williams impersonator or not as the case was. And
how he found his way back the tents is a surprise.
We retired to bed at approximately 00.30, I got up at 6.00
and started breakfast much to Graham’s disgust. 
Sorry Graham I didn’t realize that frying sausages could be so noisy.
After taking the tents and gazebo down we made our way to the RHOCAR
stand Bob Rowell was there waiting for us. This started another very hot day of touring the show.
Again there was a very good turn out of Hoods, but less than Saturday I would say.
RHOCAR won the award for best attended club stand, and as per normal the award was presented by Miss Newark.
We headed home at
Just out side Munford I stopped to fill up with fuel, and a couple started to tell me that they had just returned from the show, they had seen my car there, taken down the details of the club and are planning the build of a Robin Hood lightweight. (Could be interesting)
Thanks to all those that attended the show, and the SG7 boys for joining us to make the weekend that bit better.
Danny’s asking about next year already.
