@broadside78 In America we don't put drivers in such perilous situations. We have demolition derbies, not banger racing. We go with our friends to drink some beer, which we can take coolers of, wreck some cars and have some fun. That fun doesn't include watching drivers (sometimes friends) get hauled off in an ambulance or hearse.
@freetickeys Though people do get injured (far less than if you was doin motorcross or similar) deaths are very rare. there has been only around six deaths in banger racing since the 60's, and hundreds of people race every weekend in the uk. these cars are well reinforced around the driver area, and it rarely gives way.
@gutz323 Some of the banger hits look almost unsurvivable. Obviously, the cars are mostly junkers and safety looks minimal to the casual observer. I'm glad to hear drivers aren't getting ground up like cheap beef. The guys who drive them must need extra material in the front of their underwear to accommodate their massive 'nads.
The only reason these shows look so bad*** is because the cars are CRAP(x10) I could touch a peice of paper to it and it would dent!!! American cars are better, and it takes balls of steel to do both bangrs and demolition derby
@VancouverCanucksRock BRING YOUR 1500LB SHIT BOX TO AMERICA AND GET IN THE RING WE WILL END YOU COCKYNESS...LOL TUFF GUY IN A SHIT BOX HIGH ON PAINT FUMES
@CFIRSTER come 2 england mate and play wiv the big boys wiv that lip and i will build u a car and then will see your arsehole fool out we dnt fuck about mate you's yank dont crash u play bumper cars your just a pup
@CFIRSTER we dnt need 2 smash you because all the real entertainment is in britain you need to change your style over there and have a proper crash not just bumping in to the dick 2 foot away your shit m8 no talent no arsehole and all them big motors wot a waste of time and money you should send them 2 us and i will show you how 2 use it
lol why is it that all people at banger racing including the spectators they wear them high vis coats they must be the best selling coats out lol every 1 has 1
@DANATRINGWOOD For the driver, they're windproof, waterproof, warm and it reduces the chance of you getting run over when you get out. For the crowd.... Well.. Everyone thinks they're a racer :)
post and rail at swaffam does it get any better shame they got rid of it but could you see front wheel drives like mondeos etc getting followed in like that
Man great action , thats what i call hard hits,have raced against some of the poms in nz , good guys they go out hard,they sure get some speed up on those hard sealed track, great stuff.
I'm not sure I really understand this kind of racing. Are there any rules? Do you get a better payout if you kill someone? Them boys got some serious stones. Cheers & God Speed
1:47 Typical Ford Capri, Chassis snapped at the pedals. Happened to my dads friend trapped and snapped both ankles and shins, Nasty. He had pins and a cage around his shins. Other than that he was ok.
still think that pile up @ 51 was the best ever and has not been matched since some huge hits going in and no one backed of quality!! just wish i was there
now dont get me wrong im a american and i like my demo derbys and enduros but what u guys do is crazy i mean most of thoses wrecks looks like u cant come back from it but i tell u what stop going and saying that americans suck because i seen a lot of fords chevys and outher AMERICAN cars but i do respect every form of racing ill hand it to ya u british fucks have balls that clank
@Hellbound666Spawn hahaha it's people like you that make UK and USA allies and keep the sports alivee and running just hope the koreans ( north and south) can sort they're problems before world war 3 happens and we will all probably die from nukes
@Hellbound666Spawn American derby is awsome mate you guys spend along time building a car to win plus you still take big hits!. I dont know why people insult the usa. Our cars fold up alot easyer in some of the hits because we are only aloud to strengthen the drivers compartment. Youre trying to win a lapped race so you get less time on the track and a lower chance of survival lol. Its like american football is more violent than rugby and bangers is a little more aggressive than demo derbys.
@Hellbound666Spawn its the way we build them.... would love for a couple of you americans to come over to the uk and have a go at this.. we do it with some of your yank tanks as well.. look up firecracker on youtube you may get a shock
Oh my god. I didn't even know cars could get screwed up that badly in a race. Maybe getting dropped from a crane or out of an airplane or from space but not in a race. This makes demolition derbies look like something that doesn't involve big crashes.
jehfo did at a meeting coz that was my mate and the jag was a stockcar thats how much wellding it had in it and he dont cear about it and them metings where gd in them days look at now
Why is it they never have banger racing like this at Skeggy Stadium whenever I go ?? Always some crappy fwd stock rods, maybe some 2litre stock cars and maybe if your lucky a couple of caravans in a demo derby to finish :(
Cant remember the last time I saw action like this show in the vid here, lovely vid thanks mate.
I'm still trying to figure out whatever rules you guys have for this and what you're allowed to do to a car for anykind of bracing.Also how many guys have gotten hurt or killed..
ooh nasty! See those f*ckin yanks think they are hardcore smashing up like 3 tonne caddys in a small mud pit, we brits crash shit rusty austins and grannie and have like 20 strong jacking trains and get out wantin more!! great vid!
only problem is whats with the music i mean its better that alot of the others with pure rubbish for music but crashes its not just sight its sound as well the sound of crashing and crumpling metal brakeing bone ect ect
Wow that's amazing considering how bad some of these crashes look, I've seen people killed on public roads in far less spectacular crashes, and these cars are pretty well stock aren't they?
So it isn't... My bad. I was told informed that 2007 was going to be its last year of racing. Good to hear that its still going. Although it's still in trouble apparently.
Nice Video. I was Right there on the fence when the yank took that post out at Firecracker. Almost got a bolt through my head! Shame Arena Essex is gone now, redeveloped for flats or something. In my opinion it was the best track with the best racers. No fatalities (as far as I'm aware) and a good catch fence (from Donington I think). Yes Banger racing is dangerous, but all sports are - fir spectators as well. There are guidelines in place and they do work, Arena Essex was proof of that.
More or less u'll the classic cars have been scraped for years lol gives them a last chance tae been seen rather thn rotting away in a scarp pile lol but i'd have to be aff yer heed to used a fully restored classic in a ranger race lol
Gotta respect these guys, they have balls...but it's sad when old classics are wrecked in these events. I mean, there are plenty of 80s and 90s bangers around, why use classics?
Excellent video! We were sitting by the fence right where the limo was followed in at Firecraker (at the end of the clip) only seen photos before so it's great to see it again, we sat there and the limo's sump just kept getting closer and closer, mega! well done!!
Jeez, can't believe how hard some of these hits are. I can't imagine what it's like being sat in your car knowing that someone'll hit you at up to 50mph and that it's probably even more dangerous to get out. Saw a guy knocked out cold at Cowdenbeath back in '90 - and he got no help. Not nice.
No Lewis I am not including Skeefy or Polo. Drivers have died in the last 15 years or so in crashes at Alwarton, Swaffham, Birmingham, Crewe, Bovingdon and on one of the dirt tracks down in the south west.
simply awesome stuff - its a shame swaffham now has an armco instead of the post and wire fence. Those were the days! by the way what meeting was that incredible wreckage train from. the one at the 00:53 sec mark?
oh well im sorry i dont no exactly how many drivers have died. are you including the racers who died not on the track, like mark boulden and terry skeef, they were good drivers but lost there lifes not on the track. R.I.P to them great drivers
Wrong, there have been 5 drivers killed on the track that I know of for definite since the start of the 90's, plus another with brain damage after a length of the straight T-bone. You should not gloss over the dangers because they are real, and made worse by people who think that there's no such thing as a hit that is too hard.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone been killed doing this sort of racing? Seems almost suicidal/homicidal to be pile driving these guys into the walls and deliberatly going head on as fast as you can into someone. All in all, one awesome video. Well done. Wish I had gone to one of these when I lived in the UK.
in the history of banger racing, i think only 2 people have died in a banger race, a few more drivers have died but they have been due to different curcomstances. i must say banger racing is alot better than any of that american Demolition derby pants lol.
the yanks have nothing on this :)

Seems almost suicidal/homicidal to be pile driving these guys into the walls and deliberatly going head on as fast as you can into someone. All in all, one awesome video. Well done. Wish I had gone to one of these when I lived in the UK.

in the history of banger racing, i think only 2 people have died in a banger race, a few more drivers have died but they have been due to different curcomstances. i must say banger racing is alot better than any of that american Demolition derby pants lol.
