Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

excellent wingy - so i take it thats the final for the season then, should defo be a good one to go to!  i'm definately going (so long as i'm not ballooning!) there is room in the fiesta for harry and julie if you want to come along - you'll have to put up with the extremely loud music though!

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

This sunday?  then nothing until 28th Dec :(

Well I am gonna pencil in this Sunday but dunno for sure becasue of the heavy day saturday. Its the Accy Stan Kareokae evening afer the game so probably no fit state to be going anywhere next day TBH  If fit enough then gonna go with Julie and two sons in our car.. Fanx:)

If not fit enough (fav) then it looks like end of year.. which is a shame.. def wouldn't mind getting into it on a sunday..  get some pics taken :)

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

sunday sounds good roy. at the end of each meet they have demolition derby. through the season racers preserve there vehicles as much as pos as they only have 2 weeks to rebuild for next race. not the case in the last race of the season its unbelievable. aint gonna miss it for anything.  12 noon start usualy £5 per person.

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

i don't know about harry but with all these teaser photo's i can't wait to get there - carnage!! sounds great..

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

I am 99% sure of going now... I doubt I will be drinking anyhting other than shandy or non alcahol today.... What a night..erk!

Went to a 40th birthday at King street last night.. Then into the railway pub until 2 (sorry but what a hole that is) then onto a meal and got home just before 4am Well drunk.

So recovering today and a nice easy evening tonight then fit for Sunday :)

12am you have to be there?  Its on white lund is it?  I know where that is.Guess just follow the signs..

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

no not on white lund harry its next junction up m6. ill sort some directions and post them.

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

Got these from warton online, hope ther ok. if your not sure we will be leavin accy about 11:15 you can always follow us (me and roy)

M6 J35
Follow Signs for Over Kellet Quarries on the roundabout
At T-Junction, turn RIGHT
Follow the road straight, you`ll come to a single lane bridge, continue over that
You will then come to a crossroads, go straight across it, there should be a sign for the track on some railings at the far side of the junction
Just follow the signs, and then you will go onto some little country roads, go down there till you find a gate and a cattle grid, go through the gate on the left and follow the noise, there will be a riverbank on your left if your on the right road
Park your car, get out, walk, pay your money, enjoy, go home

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

The white lund bit was the sponsor so it turned out..

Well I found it OK and arrived a few minutes after Roy and Wingy

What a brilliant day out. Highly recommended to anyone.. 6 quid.. I left after five and a half hrs only cus I wanted to get the kids home.  Best 6 quid entrance fee I ever paid :)

Got loads of pics to put on line.. Just gonna go through em all now

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

Wouldn't mind having a look myself, never been to owt like that (except for sporting trials) looks like a different kind of day out to my norm. Might have a day out sometime, if I ever manage to get a weekend off!!  

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

What a great day! Definately worth the entrance fee!  I got some good photos as well, most interesting about the pile up when the driver had to be cut free - he wasn't even a part of the original pile up and actually rammed in afterwards....anyway- all good fun, can't wait till the next one.

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

Same pic as mine:)

Mine are now viewable (101 pics) at

www.kipax.com

Enjoy!


PS Roy.. Got home.. 4 missed calls on the mobile.. I should really take it out with me eh... Whoops soz :)

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

excellent harry, i'll check them out!! nice one

the only actual action shot i got was this one!!

Re: Banger Racing / Stock Cars
 

A good thing was that you paid as you entered the car park.. rather than park up the pay to get in.. This meant we could return t the car at any time... get stuff out of the car (We always carry a couple of foldaway chairs so they came in handy)
