Beach 'Banger' Race

I've had another attempt at videoing the 8m film, adjusting the camcorder to lighten the video.

This was my first ever race. I was winning but stopped in error a lap from the end, as I thought it had finished.

The battery terminal came loose, and by the time I had fixed it the race started. I got out a lap down just in front of the leaders, and ended up coming second.

@BreathDoctor Pleased you like it. That is what they play on the rolling lap for Banger Racing, hence why I used it.

Can you tell me what year this was because my Dad (Roger Longmoor) used to race with the Mablethorpe "Sandblasters" all the time

@TRICKYNICK1985 It was either 1973 or 1974. It was the first time cars raced on the beach, and supposedly a one off for carnival week.

Time for me to take a visit then :D Didn't know about that.

I've been quite a lot of times to North End, and Moggs Eye and Skeg once a few weeks ago, Dog walking. First time I've been to Skeg beach since the windmills are there.
