Here is the official 2009 report from the event, prepared by our media guru Andy Mills :
MODIFIED LIVE – End of Year Finale
It looks like the scene finally concreted the ‘’season-closer’’ in the form of Modified Live. With timely good weather the Snetterton Circuit was awash with car clubs and visitors all keen to get a last dose of action before the winter set in with a vengeance. And action is exactly what they got with both the Need For Speed European Drift Championship and Time Attack series using the event to sort out who would be going home with top honours for the season. For drift fans the final event added an extra bonus with the layout giving visitors a great vantage point of the action, where they saw Mark Luney in the SVA Imports Nissan 350Z pip Driftworks dirver Phil Morrison to the crown. For those wanting to find out what it felt like to hit sideways transitions for themselves a fleet of drift taxis were on hand in the infield. With a host of top drivers and prepped drift cars the high speed taxi runs were a hit throughout the day and are sure to feature at Modified Live events in 2010.
On the more grippy side of things the crowds got to witness almost 50 of the UK’s top tuned cars taking on the Snetterton Circuit in the Time Attack series. With everything from a BMW MINI and Fiat Coupe to a space-framed Ford Focus it was the Impreza of Zen Performance that won top honours for the day. But the on-lookers also got to see the Roger Clark Motorsport “Gobstopper” Impreza hit the track in anger, an iconic car that did enough on the day to retain the Time Attack Pro Class title.
To keep the adrenaline pumping in between the EDC and Time Attack rounds Modified Live also threw the track open to demos from the BTRA. These massive power trucks don’t hold back and are more than capable of putting in some fine drifting displays themselves…so much so that Morrison in his Driftworks S15 was put up against one of them! The infamous Fireforce 3 jet-powered car also fired up along the Revett Straight, filling the air with the noise of 10,000bhp and probably waking up half of Norfolk.
High speed passes weren’t all the track was good for though. Nissan turned up to support the event and held a spectacular parade lap full of Z-cars and GTRs to celebrate 40 years of the 240Z They also brought along some new GTRs for the visitors to get a good close-up look at along with a coupe and cabriolet version of the stunning new 370Z. Near to them were modified cars competing for the attention as they showed off in a bid to win the Serious Performance ‘”Best in Scene” accolade. With other categories too (that depart from the normal boring ones, such as “UK Here and Now” and “Best JDM”) the top gong eventually went to Jon Morley’s olive green VW Polo. With an immaculate interior and perfect stance it was a more than worthy victor, deservedly helping Jon take home not only the title but prizes from Serious Performance and Cosworth.
At the other end of the show Max Power magazine took control of the Car Club area, DJ Richie Don pumping tunes out of the Maxxis tyres truck that was Max Power’s base for the day. Owners clubs and cruise sites came from across the country to fill the surrounding areas, showing off everything from extreme styling, highly chromed engine bays and in one case even a small Oak branch that stuck out of their bumper. In fact, judging by the turnout it appeared Modified Live came at a perfect time for enthusiasts, offering them another petrol-fuelled day out in a time of year traditionally ignored by car shows. So it’s good news that Modified Live will return to Snetterton at the same time next year, and the announcement that there will be two new Modified Live events for 2010 is sure to be popular. With five Modified Live events in total it’s a name set to dominate 2010 and give modified car lovers the injection of high speed thrills, tyre-smoking action and highly polished metal that they crave.
