Good to see some banger racing from the days when monster follow ins, full length of the straight hits on dead cars and drivers seamingly intent on actually killing each other wasn't a thing.
Am i the only one who thinks raming avoidable dead vehicles is for amateurs . (I know not every dead vehicle is avoidable) Where real skills lie is a vehicle taking out and crashing into another moving vehicle . Whats the point in crashing and knocking yourself out of the competition . In demolition derby the idea is to be the last vehicle running
i make it at least 12 different types of van A60, morris minor , anglia ,escort, viva, bedford ca, transit, bmc250ju ,bmcj4 ,mini, thames 400e and a rare moskvitch.
I helped a friend preserve old buses . I've heard from him some really good lessons in you can't preserve them all . I'd rather them die a running death in a banger race then just sit in a scrapyard for years until they meet they guy with the gas axe or the crusher operator .
@@Fcutdlady still racing classics today WTF? Im looking for a cheap classic but up against bangers with money, premises and their kids doing it trawling ebay FB etc. The main reasons: Because we can Get yur money out and your excuses. I used to watch banger racing when these vehicles were plenty full. Much harder to do one up you love over time than get the electric glue out and stuff a pinto and frame in. Bollox to that hope all the tracks get built on lol. Own and run classics and make the remaining ones more valuable ? More bollox who talks like that
Did not know that there no fig of 8 at wimbledon back then, i used to go every suday night. Start time was 6pm and usually ended between 9 and11pm, admission was about £6 in the 90's. Unfortunately it is now a football stadium like we need more football stadiums. Spedeworth lost one of the best venus they had in terms of the facilities but that was all in the hands of the sport of greyhound racing as the Greyhound Racind Association owned the venue and wrapped it all up.

and no turning round anyone can turn round, wait and then drive out on a passing car or give it a head on.
