Unlimiteds on the 30th of this month. Won't be attending unless Deek would be kind enough again??? Me dad's away to Worcester or however its spelt for the weekend and since he's rushing back on Sunday night to take me to Brampton on the Monday its only fair i let him have his weekend away lol

Had a Barra lad ask if Mondeo's can be used so we may see one or two of them although i don't think they're coming in numbers. With Cowdie the night before will we see some leftovers?

Plenty of juniors coming. Weasel,Herman,Jake,Jak,Swanny,Shimmy and probably Simpson's lad. Dunno about Ben from Barra since Warton's on.

Expecting Matty,Sparky,Topper,Don lineham and Tall Paul (You'd expect that Vole) at least. Willy and another Barra lad supposed to be coming over although they might stick to the original plan of Warton. Can't see Mr Steele doing Barford over Warton if anywhere in that roller. Maybe Krazy krew and Riot Squad if they don't do Warton instead. Shan't be a big field and no Mob apparently although dode did say on Friday if Pedro survived he might.

Got in about half an hour ago from Barford, and there were 6 bangers in total (and 6 juniors). Drivers were 67 Sparky, 197 George Scully, 199 Jonathon Scully, 390 Stuart Welch, 474 Matty and 886 Andrew "Topper / Crazy Horse" Topham. Nothing of any real interest, with Stuart and Matty having saloon and estate Mondeos respectively, George returned his GNC car, while Jonathon debuted a Granada and Sparky had one as well.

First heat was a bit crap, with the only actual action being 886 putting 199 in, ending 199's day. 197 then tried to take out Topper but failed. Matty won from Sparky and Welch.

Second (and last) heat turned into a DD, with Sparky trying to spin out 197 on the top bend before 197 turned Sparky into the wall. 886 then decided to blast 197, followed by 390, which was then followed by Matty giving a huge shot to 390. Stuart Welch was declared the winner as "last car running". During this heat, Sparky injured his right arm, so get well soon to him.

The original format was called off due to time constraints & lack of bangers; there would have been 28 races in total (7 formulas were racing today) but was reduced to 20.

Next banger meet is on the 18th of October, with a 2 Litre £500 Open (which should attract a high number of drivers)

£500 Autumn open.

A whole 8 cars,highlight of heat 1 being a puncture.

Seems you made the right decision not to go Deek lol

2 more than last time ha ha

Just got in about 45 minutes ago, and I have to agree that today was a bit too tame for Bangers. F2s did seem more exciting, with ex-Banger Rod driver 705 Phil Manser rolling his F2 in one of the heats.

On the car front for the bangers, there were a grand total of 10 cars (although Benny didn't race his Mondeo Estate from last night). Mondeos were the most popular car, with 172 Manic returning his from last night, 017 Wayne Sowerby, 25 Jonathon Younger and 212 Karlos of The Orton Boyz racing 3, and 128 Gareth Todd somehow managing to race an estate that looked better suited for the scrapheap!

3 Bluebirds were also in attendance, from 121 Baz (didn't get their actual name) of The Orton Boyz, 162 The Abar (didn't get a proper name) and another "slightly used" vehicle with Toddy's roof fin on, driven by 30 Paul (didn't get a surname). The other car was a Sierra Sapphire from 136 Nicky Simpson which was most likely returned from the GNC.

Heat 1 wasn't the best heat, despite having the full 9 cars out. Only real pieces of action were 162 being spun into the wall by 25, 30 getting done by 017 and 128 being spun into the infield by 172 and getting stuck, which ended Todd's afternoon. 136 caught the bumps on turn 2 which ripped out a stone cover from his rear right. 212 won this one.

Heat 2 was quite boring, since there were only 4 cars out and all of them were Orton Boyz. Practically no action at all. Again, Karlos won.

Final actually got more exciting with what was probably the only real action until the DD, with 6 cars out. Main talking point was 30 being spun by Sowerby, only for Paul's Bluebird to catch either the bump or a divot on the infield on the pit bend and rolled it onto his roof. Luckily he was unhurt. 212 won this one too.

DD was okay, with 4 cars out. Sowerby got a hard shot from Younger, before Abar went up the back of 25. 017 then did 162, spinning her onto what looked to be a piece of broken kerb and getting stuck. Baz, who hadn't been very active, and Younger then decided to do a head-on, resulting in the DD finishing as a dead heat.

All in all, the lack of drivers was what tarnished an otherwise okay meeting (with only 3 other formulae this time instead of 6!)

Another point regarding the track is that the car park was substantially reduced as there has been work done on what looks to be another barn or something. At this point in time only the pillings have been put in place, but it does seem as if this could substantially affect the big events.

Next meeting is in 2 weeks, on the same day as Firecracker.
