PRE '68 IS COMING! Now with link to pic gallery.

[Lankytim]

..This sunday at Hednesford raceway, starts at middayish.

Ill be going and Ill take a camera. Not trying to troll the forum but ill snap any unusual rotten wibblepoo that will be turning their wheels for the last time on track and going out in a blaze of glory.

Just thought id give the forum a heads up just incase anybody fancied going to see what actually goes on at a banger meet.

Alas I'm working this Sunday, or I'd have been In Like Flynn.

Anyone who's not been before and thinking of going.....you won't be disappointed, Pre-'68 is a hoot.

Brace yourself for a deluge of "Bloody banger racers wrecking pristine pre-68 cars" letters to appear in Practical Classics, Classic Cars etc.

what's the big thing about pre 68? i don't get it...does banger racing have catergories of car ages? or have pre 68 motors not been allowed to race?

[tillio77]

pre 68 motors are deemed too slow nowadays, compared to a whizzy v6 granny, bluebird etc...

So they have special meetings to race rusty, slow old poo

[jdmini]

ahhh i understand now...i thought people thought they were too precious or something.

WE LOVE PRE 68

[arthurbrown]

How pernickety are they about dates etc?

*eyes up Tigran's P5B*

[twigzy]

good man pog, you know you wanna

[kevfromwales]

was just about to write 'it'll be too far south for me' but I've just multimapped Hednesford and it seems to be just outside cannock?!?!
if so you can count me in!!! - can anybody confirm where it is exactly - a postcode would be great!

[arthurbrown]

LOLz.
Well have decided that my Supa Minks (rust edition) ain't going out like that (just yet).

But it'd be fun to have a crack I reckon.

[kevfromwales]

anyone know how much to get in, that sort of info - site linked is a bit lacking!

[twigzy]

But most of them will have a whizzy v6 granny engine fitted so they won't be slow

[twigzy]

wrong, pre68 must be running on the original engine

Hey kev, wanna try & get Matt's Minx fired up? I've got a key to the garage, and let's face it, it's just gonna rot otherwise ;D ;D ;D

[dugong]

I'd have brought my P1800 if I'd have known

Although I'd probably curse word it in a full contact banger race.
