Press Release Summary: Preparations are being put into place at Turbo Dynamics
sponsored, Santa Pod Raceway for this year's Performance Tuning and Modified (PTM)
Show, which will take place on Sunday, 11th May.

Press Release Body: Back for its second year, the event focuses on Santa Pod's
famous ¼ mile dragstrip with some of Europe's fastest modified cars competing to
have the best time. The show, which is also Round 1 of the HKS Drag Series, will
feature cars accelerating from 0-170MPH in just eight seconds.

The highly anticipated Euro Sports Compact race will also be kicking off, featuring
some of Europe's quickest VW, MG and Lancia street cars. These cars will be going
head to head and hitting speeds over 130MPH in just 10 seconds to fight out their
claim to be The Fastest European Car in the UK.

Further show highlights will include demos from some of the world's fastest cars
with the famed Fireforce Jet Car scheduled to appear. Anticipated to be one of the
day's biggest draws, this amazing car is powered by three jets and can achieve
jaw-dropping speeds of up to 300MPH. Doorslammer Dragster Demos and professional
Drifting Shows are also planned for the day, with passenger rides available between
shows in the Drifting Arena.

On top of all this there will be a Run What Ya Brung competition where the general
public can race their cars on the track and receive a performance print out. As long
as entrants have a driving licence, they can personally test their cars out on the ¼
mile strip for just £15. Power and torque readouts will also be available from
Horsepower Heroes who will be attending with their Rapid GB Dyno.

Santa Pod's Handling Circuit will be open as well, where performance enthusiasts
will be able to put their handling and speed skills to the test in their own cars
for free. This year, Santa Pod Raceway has announced that they will be awarding the
best driver with a trophy!

Meanwhile off track, Santa Pod Raceway's sponsors, Turbo Dynamics will be present
with one of their stunning TD Girls, Louisa who will be handing out goodie bags and
posing for photographs. As one of the leading combined Turbocharger Remanufacturer
and Hybrid Turbocharger Designers in the world, Turbo Dynamics will have staff
on-hand at the show to advise car owners about turbochargers, performance products
and tuning.

Turbo Dynamics Marketing Manager, Natasha Miller said of the day, "The PTM Show
should be fantastic. The day is jam-packed with attractions ranging from shootouts
to displays, to handling competitions. There will definitely be something there for
everyone!"

Those attending The PTM Show can camp at Santa Pod over the weekend should they want
to spread the enjoyment out or participate in any of the Run What Ya Brung
Competitions also taking place on Saturday. A Fun Fair, bar, catering facilities and
evening entertainment will be laid on for those staying.
