Contact Jukka Hankonen, member of the Imp club. "If somebody is coming to visit here in Finland he/she can contact me and I could help with the arrangements.
You might know that imps are quite popular in ice-racing here. So if somebody wants to see 10-15 imps in grid, he should visit here in winter and go to watch ice-racing championships. Some of those imps are quite fast, even faster than fourwheeldrives MG Metro or Audi (both are old B-group rally cars)."
