Deane has asked me to let everyone know about the above fixture change.

By popular request, the 'rookie' spec bangers on the above date have now been changed to a National Banger meeting, under 1800 Northampton Open, no Mondeos allowed. There will be £200 prize money on the DD at the end of the meeting.

There will be 'rookie' bangers on at Hednesford on the same day, but this will be chained pairs (side by side / in line) only, and more intended for your usual Bank Holiday occasional punter than the hardcore banger fans, and the numbers will be limited for Hednesford to try and ensure we get good numbers at Northampton.

The idea behind the 'no Mondeo' spec is to let the Bluebirds and Primeras etc be more competitive, and the under 1800 is to cut out the 2 litre Cavaliers so hopefully we will get a good variety of competitive cars racing on the day.

The drivers have asked for this additional fixture, so please support it if you can!

Cheers
Nico

40 cars for a domestic earlier in the year means this one could be a surprise. Used A60 doing the Caravan race.

48 cars. Used Capri for 125 Roy Preece was only rwd motor. Everyone else in Blueys, Primeras and Cavs just about, although 181 of Scrapyard Screamers (name anyone?) had a Focus and 247 Lee Clarke had an Escort Estate.

Massive pile up in heat 1, huge wreck for 170 Darren Teal who was right in the middle of it, also for 333 Jake Parkes.

Heat 2 stopped after a lap after 373 Wilko followed in hard - ended up being taken away to hospital on a spinal board. Get well soon mate!!

Final won by 741 Parfitt. 99 Jukes came off the infield on oppo at the pack at the start of the Final after sitting on the middle waiting for the DD, ended up t-boning Shorty as far as I could see from the other bend.

DD won by 247 Bro and there was a massive wreck for 925 Aaron Preece who took 2 or 3 big shots up the back in quick succession.

103 Patch won the Caravan race as last car running after the obligatory first bend pile up and chaos that ensued afterwards. 16 Caravans in the end. Tow cars were mostly Cavs and Mondeos, although 291 Stiff and 253 Taz both had Sierra Saphires.
