chilli Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Just got back from banger racing at Arlington (nr Eastbourne, Sussex). Excellent night. Anyone been? Anyone a regular?? Lindsey loved it, I recommend it as a fun evening! Demolition Derby BIG THUMGS UP! Great atmosphere and good food too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Banger racing is great fun. I used to race, many years ago, when I was in the position of being able to get cars cheaply. Last time I saw it, was at Ashley Heath, near Ringwood, a couple of years ago. I'd certainly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Yeah, it's great fun to do. Not sure I'd pay to watch it though. My Dad used to own a scrap yard so I got cars for nothing. They're still worth the same in scrap value after you've totalled then at the banger races Back then they didn't make you have a rollcage, they probably do now. We used to just remove the windows and lights, secure the drivers door with the chopped off passenger side seat belt, and race! I never used to bother actually removing the door glass, too much hassle. I just used to wind the windows down. My record was three cars rolled in one day!
