Britain’s premier event for fans of performance and modified Vauxhalls is gearing up to be one of the busiest yet, with club stand space already sold out and individual tickets selling like hot cakes.
The Performance Vauxhall Show (PVS) takes place at the famous Santa Pod drag strip on Sunday, June 12 2016, and includes a number of features that are guaranteed to capture the attention of over 10,000 expected visitors.
With on-strip action, including the chance for owners to enter their own Vauxhalls in a VX-only ‘Run What Ya Brung’, Santa Pod will be spilling over with Griffin greats, be them retro Novas, Chevettes, Cavaliers and Astras, or more modern VX220s, Monaros and VXRs.
When classic and modern Vauxhalls aren’t going head-to-head on the iconic strip, the famous Santa Pod Jet Car will be in action. The record breaking Fireforce 3 develops more than 10,000bhp from its helicopter engine, and can reach a terminal velocity of over 300mph on the ¼-mile strip. But be warned – bring your ear plugs!
For those wanting to run something a bit tamer, drag strip tickets cost £20 per car on the day, or £10 on the Saturday for those who arrive early.
As well as the drag strip action, PVS promises a host of other features including a lively retail village for the latest parts, mods and memorabilia, a show and shine, and some of the best and busiest club displays going.Fast Car magazine will be there, along with Performance Vauxhall, with a special show subscription offer of £15 for six issues.
Further fun features include drift trikes, a firing range and a ‘Best Wheels’ award, sponsored by Wheel Whores.
Although the show itself takes place on the Sunday, part of PVS is the party atmosphere, and camping at the show on the Saturday evening is where the fun really begins. Weekend tickets, including camping, are available for £25 per person if booked in advance (saving £8). A late night bar, DJ and Santa Pod’s funfair will all be in action for the evening.
An early bird offer also applies to show day tickets – £18, as opposed to £23 on the gate. To buy tickets, visitwww.performancevauxhallshow.co.uk
PVS promises to be an action-packed weekend and a true highlight of the Vauxhall calendar, but hurry, because tickets are selling out fast…

June 4, 2016 at 7:27 pmI would concur, if my MK4 Astra didn’t feel like it was going to give up the ghost at 100k. To be fair a bit of TLC would have probably brought it back from the trade in, but as it was I didn’t want to the take the risk as I suddenly found myself with a serious commute. I still lust after a Vauxhall Astra VXR (the newest one). I’ll have to keep saving my pennies!
