I no a lot say banger racing is point less,but once you've had a go its a differing case. I done mini stock from 10-16 then reliant bangers for 3year speed racing then turn into a wrecker what's more fun plus a caravan race,spent thousands of pounds and endless hours building,but it's the only Motorsport that pays you for winning.
I now race a mini miglia and you get sod all for winning.

The ministox I get but I can't see the appeal of the banger racing. The last race they featured, the older guy spent hundreds, loads of time and lot of hassle getting the car ready. He didn't finish a single lap and ended up with a fractured wrist. Not my idea of value for money.

and had no brakes, work that one out..

 

no brakes       

surly you would fix the brakes

y wouldnt u

 

 

I think one of the other drivers said he had only one brake working on one front wheel which might be worse than not having any........? :lol:
