sad day at the banger track

[ASBO CAPRI]

Went to watch some banger racing today. Saw 2 cappers and a mk5 cortina getting ragged round the track. They all died a horrible death. . One of the cappers looked like it had a pretty good body on it too but that one didn't even make it to the final round

Why do you go? I couldn't............

BURN THEM AT THE STAKE

my neighbour does it and has a cortina p100 in at the mo getting prepped for racing.

Love it or hate it as a rule osf's make for some hard hitting cars,ive done my share of wrecking old fords & do regret some ive raced but my escort is made up of alot of bits of cars that ive raced & scrapped so it ain't all bad

You beat me to it!

it looked clean aswell.

[Mr Sam]

mind you my old P100 field car ended up as good as a banger car but i was young and naieve

 

wish i still had it

[bortaf]

I just wish they would sell the cortina shells to me after the race

lots of good pickings left after

[ASBO CAPRI]

I know what u mean. I would'nt of minded the axle out the dead capper think it was a 1600 one

[82bob]

well why didnt you ask most banger boys will help you out. its better to burn out than fade away!!

[Wessie]

its only as capper ! they get raced all the time - theres alot nicer metal that gets raced, some really rare stuff

[morcheen]

you can't save them all,and there only crapis'

[5hane]

some really rare stuff

 

arena essex firecracker, tonnes of old and rare beasts going round

[Silverback]

Luckily over here you don't see many osf's on the Oval, there's been a couple of Cappers and the odd Granada but mostly it's Sierras. Oldest thing I raced when I used to do it was an old Rover SD1, which I'm surprised it didn't snap when I loaded it on the trailer.....talk about rust

dam right there is i usually supply some of em

Last year it was a roller and 3 cortina shells

 

It's no ggod telling people they are rusty and not worth saving, they allways know best, even the ones that have never been and know nowt about racing

The way i look at it, it's yours, you paid for it do what the hell you want with it, besides everyone that gets raced makes mine worth more

 

Seen many, MANY more get fragged uselessly by council tow aways and destruction notices thatn raced but then what do i know

god the ammount of unfinished projects that end up on the track is amazing, i blame the people that dont finish em personly and put the car into the "racable" catagory, lets have a pol how many cars have been fecked up by wanabee restorers and left in such a state that racing is the only viable use for em

 

Or maybey a poll where people have bought one to save it then let it sit so long it gets towed away and scrapped, is that any better ? worse i recon that's a total waist

 

VIVA LA BANGER RACING

Went to Yarmouth on Sunday to watch Classic Hot Rods and Classic Saloon Stocks was on, there was at least 3 MkI 'tinas out there which did make me wince a little, 3 MkII Cortina I think and one Anglia a few Triumph 2000 and some other shit

 

Better formula than bangers though as the cars last longer and the sign writing on the doors is spelt right too
