BMW Show 2016 Report

This year’s BMW Show saw a big change moving from the end of September to the prime of the season in the middle of June. Speed and power was again the order of the day with some of the finest German machinery on display. 

The Run What Ya Brung was very busy with some very quick BM’s and some awesome burnouts to match! A big thanks goes to the drag demos Paul Brown and Billy Gane who were running 8s all day. Martin Hill was without doubt the quickest runs of the day with a 5.83 @ 269.8mph and a 5.86 @ 269.74.

There’s one thing that definitely goes hand in hand and that is BMW owners and drifting! The top end of the pits was in a cloud of smoke for most of the day. Terry Grant was on top form as always with some fantastic precision driving at its best.

We would again like to thank Thorney Motorsport who have supported the show for the last 3 years supplying prizes for both the Handling Track and RWYB competitions. We would also like to thank all the clubs for their continued support with the BMW Show.
