sheffcortinacentre Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Know doubt the seller will have wanted to much for an enthusiast to save it so the banger boys will have been over the moon to get to destroy a rarity. I know it's Thiers to do with as these please, I just don't understood how you can get pride from destroying something . Austat and Skizzer 2
chaseracer Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 That's Hednesford Raceway, just up the road from Chaseracer Towers. By all accounts, the Eventer was utterly hanging. @Pieman may know more.

By all accounts, the Eventer was utterly hanging. @Pieman may know more. The Eventer was raced in January 2000 at Hednesford by Marc Watkins - perhaps thankfully the only Eventer ever to be bangered. It took part in the first ever North v South "Civil War" event, and secured the overall win for the North by winning the last event of the day. outlaw118 and chaseracer 1 1
Magnificent Rustbucket Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 I'm surprised an Eventer was ever cheap enough to be bangered. I don't remember them being down to 'throw away' money like the ordinary XJ-S and the XJ saloons. I guess the man was prepared to spend a bit to race a rarity.
Snipes Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Maybe it was only fit for the oval, for one reason or another?

The photo above makes it look a lot better than it was; to say the floor was ventilated would be an understatement. Welding had been done, but only to make it safer than a wet paper bag. Yeah, I get the consternation "It should have been saved" etc, but it would have cost an absolute fortune, and bearing in mind it was 20 years ago, it wouldn't have made economic sense. And there's always the arguement that if someone was that bothered, they should have bought it themselves. Whatever, I can see both sides; personally I was a little uneasy watching it race, but ultimately he was racing for Tha' Norf, so I was more interested in seeing it get mullered! To be fair Having something unusual would mostly be the same as tying a target to your arse..... davocano 1
