[liam8195]

and if u use modern cars it's more hassle on the builder of the car because u hav to change the engine as the vauxhalls and mondeos are injections !

Most modern cars are destroyed, or at least undrivable after anything more than a minor shunt due to the crumple zones. Plus to prep a car for a race you need to remove as much stuff as possible for lightness and to prevent fires. Pulling apart a modern car is difficult because of all the electronic stuff. Classics are stronger but I'd sooner be in a crash in a modern car than any of my three pre-'72 classic cars

Whilst it's a gruesome spectacle when you think of what MIGHT have been lost, if you don't want cars to end up this way then buy them yourself and restore them! I've saved enough cars over the years but I can't do each and every one! Most banger racers I know have a conscience, and not one based around money - anything good is kept or sold, and although the cars look tidy on the track, before they are given a paintjob they certainly are not!

the hole point is that people go along to pre 70s and classic meeting are that you get to see a bit of fun racing in sted of no contact racing ps

i saw a car from 1937 last year at lynn

[CycolacFan]

I'm a classic car enthusiast, I own a Triumph 2000 and a P6 but I don't especially object to this on the grounds that most of these cars are so rotten they would be crushed anyway. I've bought parts from banger racers before. I visited Swaffham banger track more than 50 times when I lived in Lincoln and less than 1% of the cars there were easily restorable before the race. Many were fire damaged. And what's so bad about 70's Fords that they CAN be raced and destroyed while 1960's cars can't?

The trouble with this so called sport HA HA is this is were a lot of stolen classics end up, this is what happened to mine a couple of years ago.

Stop whinging, its a bit of fun and until you get the balls to try it, you're not qualified to cast your pompous shadow over us banger drivers. Do search for pre 68 at Hednesford or pre 70 at Mildenhall, almost brings a tear to your eye................N O T !!!!!!!

PS, we do use Mondeos, they are hard as nails and are the future!

[marc97]

The only parts which you could call useful that stay on a banger are the running gear and panels, and even after racing, a large percentage of the running gear is still useable.
