Press Release Summary: Described as "The fastest, hottest, largest and loudest
modified car festival in Europe", Ultimate Street Car (USC) had a lot to live up to
at Santa Pod Raceway this year and the event, which took place at the start of
August, did just that.

Press Release Body: USC, which is sponsored by Marangoni Tyres, was bigger and
better than ever with a huge turnout over the three day event. Thousands of
spectators flocked to the festival, many camping over night, to test out their
modified street cars on Santa Pod Raceway's famous ¼ mile dragstrip. Sponsored by
turbocharger specialists, Turbo Dynamics, the raceway hosts many popular events
throughout the year including, the GTI Festivals, the Performance, Tuning & Modified
Show, Summer Nationals and Bug Jam 22.

Marangoni USC attractions drawing in the crowds were: Monster Truck and drifting
displays, car and motorcycle stunt displays, Run What Ya Brung competitions, car
club displays, performance traders, the Santa Pod fun fair, Rapid GB Dyno, comedians
and of course, the 260 MPH Fireforce Jet Car.

The fastest Jet Car in Europe, the Fireforce is equipped with a modified helicopter
engine and can put out the equivalent of 10,000 BHP, enabling it to speed down Santa
Pod's dragstrip in less than six seconds!

Marangoni USC's Monster Truck display featured two Monster Trucks: the orange
Podzilla driven by Drew Thornton and Wales' Red Dragon driven by Rob Williams. The
ginormous 1,500 BHP vehicles were used for car-crushing displays, both on Saturday
and Sunday, driving and leaping over a line of cars with their five-tonne force. The
powerful and weighty trucks, which have methanol engines, guzzle a pricey 33 gallons
per mile!

Meanwhile behind the wheel for the car stunt shows was, the one and only, Terry
Grant. With his own stunt school and having worked on major blockbusters, Grant is
indeed a professional who likes to keep his audience enthralled. Grant's stunt
displays included two-wheeling, endless donuts, driving a Beetle through a parked
caravan and whizzing cars tightly around brave volunteers (gorgeous ladies) standing
in the arena.

Santa Pod Raceway staff said, "The James Bond of stunt driving, Terry's got the fast
cars, the beautiful women and the crazy skills. He's also got one leg shorter than
the other, which might go some way to explaining why he's so comfortable going round
in circles!"

Burn-out and flame-out contests, the Marangoni Pit Stop Challenge, Autoglym Show &
Shine presentations and Balls of Steel shows also took place over the long weekend.
Living up to its description of the "hottest" European festival, there was pole
dancing shows, UK Centrefolds Girl shows, X-Men strip shows and lap dancing! English
model and former Page 3 girl for The Sun newspaper, Jackie Degg was amongst those
models present at USC; signing posters for her fans.

But wait, it doesn't stop there! On Sunday, the Euro Sports Compact qualifiers,
eliminations and finals took place, and attending the event with their ever-popular
goodie bags were the stunning Turbo Dynamics (TD) girls. The two TD girls, Louisa
and Taryn, arrived on Sunday as Santa Pod Raceway sponsors and in support of their
customers.

Amongst those running TD turbochargers and performance parts at the festival was
Roger Clark Motorsport. Team member, Olly Clark won the 'Redline TOTB VII in
association with Millers Oils' top award of TOTB Overall Champion at the end of
July; driving his team's 850 BHP, TD GT4094R turbocharged Subaru Impreza STi.

Dorset based, Turbo Dynamics have announced that they will also be attending the
JapShow Finale at Santa Pod Raceway on 5th October with their TD girls. Hard to
miss, the girls dress in tight blue and white trousers and crop-tops, going around
the shows handing out goodie bags and posing for photographs.

One enthusiastic USC goer commented, "The Turbo Dynamics girls are really sexy and
lovely too; quite happy for people to have their photos taken with them.

"USC rocks! I've been here since Friday and have still got things to see. I've
pushed my car to its limits on the dragstrip each day, checked out the motorbike
show and car displays. it just doesn't get much better than this!"
