Bangers world final this weekend
The Americans may have the baseball sewn up - we have banger racing!
This Sunday (12 November) will see Wimbledon Stadium in South West London host the 2006 Championship of the World!
The 2006 World Championship is open to unlimited over 1800cc Bangers, allowing drivers to use the biggest and most powerful cars they can find. Don't be surprised to see hearses, US muscle or just venerable old Granadas (if there are any left!).
Expect some huge smashes and a wonderful aroma of burning rubber as dozens of cars take to the track..
The Banger World Final sells out every year and anyone wishing to attend is advised to arrive at Wimbledon Stadium as early as possible. Doors open at 3pm, with pre-race entertainment at 3.30 and racing starting promptly at 5pm.

Best banger car ever....Triumph 2.5 Pi, almost indestructable!!
Ringwood Raceway is only about 30mins drive across the Forest for me... but after many years of excellent racing this appears to have gone completely tits-up.
My only fix now is an annual pilgrimage to Ipswich for the Speed weekend.
Definitely the best motorsport for spectators!
But remember well the banger team racing, with the Swadlincote Yellow Devils who all had 3.5l Rovers (seems sacrilege now, but they made awesome bangers), pitted against the Nuneaton Nutters. Their star man was Brad Wilson, in what once was a PA (later PC) Cresta, although so many dents and sledgehammer repairs it was hard to tell.
Brad Wilson was ace at hooking the front wing of the Cresta into the rear wing of the car in front, semi-spinning them, and then flicking the steering in such a way as to roll the opponent out of contention - AWESOME!
