Welcome to The UK Kit Car Club
The aim of the club is to help and support members during the build (and inevitable ongoing maintenance and modification) as well as to plan and organise events throughout the year. The Club attends the major kit car shows throughout the year providing a stand with tea and coffee, plus a BBQ with food for members. You'll be warmly received, especially if you bring more food and drink !! We also have stands at many other shows all around the country.
It's not just shows though, our active area secretaries and members regularly arrange run outs and longer trips to such places as Le Mans, Wales and Scotland, plus the annual club camping weekend and the traditional “end of season” get together. Keep an eye on the events section of the forum for news and details of upcoming events.
The Club also produces four magazines a year, exclusively for club members, filled with all manner of things club or motoring related, and members can get their own articles published in it as well if they wish.
The Club is an independent organisation, and although we have our roots as the Robin Hood Owners Club and Register (RHOCaR), we are very much a club for all makes and model of kit car, so anyone can be a "Hoody", as it's all about the state of mind, not the car you drive! Being a member of The UK Kit Car Club has many benefits above those already mentioned. Members benefit from discounted insurance with nearly all of the specialist kit car insurers, and often find that the discount is more than the club membership fee. Membership also gets you full access to the forum, and a variety of other discounts such as with Euro Car Parts. You'll also find other members are willing to go well above and beyond for any other member they see is in need of help !
So whether you own a Robin Hood, a GBS Zero, a Locost, an MK, a Westfield, a Caterham, (or any of the many other types of kit car), everyone can benefit from joining, so what are you waiting for ?

Just a reminder to all Rover-engined Superspec owners. I will have my data cable, laptop and analysis software with me at Stoneleigh if you want to make sure your engine, ECU and the various sensors are all working correctly.

Santa Pod Peak Performance Day
Hiya guys.
I booked a racer ticket & 4 crew tickets for Ray's Corvette to make its first practice runs.
This is not a regular RWYB, but a limited entry for serious racers on a fully prepped track
But the car is not 100% ready for the track, although it starts & runs well, it needs to go on a RR
& there are not many that can handle 2000 HP, and none that can fit it in by then.
Scroll down a bit for the video....

Rather than risk it, he has decided not to take it,
so I will be taking the Hood rather than waste the tickets, weather dependent.
There may be some free crew tickets available, but I will post up nearer the date.
Tickets can be collected at the gate so do not need to be mailed
Passenger rides may also available....

Stilton Cheese Run.
Hi All, I've just found out that I will be out of the country when the Stilton Cheese run is on (Sunday 24th April) This is a great run out with many cars.
If anyone would like my ticket for this please let me know as it is all paid for and up for grabs. Free to anyone who can make good use of it.

Lincolnshire Meet For April
I'm not going to organise a special meet for April, as we already have so much on. Depending on the weather I shall go to the 'Gearheads at the Ground' meet at the Newark Showground on Sunday 9th April. If anyone fancies meeting up for lunch before attending (13:00-17:00) let me know.
Then we have the Stilton Cheese Run on the 23rd April and I know quite a few of us are on that. Finally Stoneleigh at the end of the month to round off a busy month.
Let's hope the weather treats us nicely, (I assume everyone else was also out in the car today ? Wonderful)
