I was going to take Claim_Jr there a couple of years ago and I'm glad I didn't because a driver was killed.

So were thousands and thousands of people anywhere in the world that day, every day, everywhere, so the likelyhood to see someone getting killed is relatively high no matter where you go. Staying home doesn't help either, because the overwhelming majority of lethal accidents happen at home.

 

So are you two coming this time?

I would, but it's so far away...

 

Ta, wack.

Fact #1 - despite marshals' warnings, the guy got out of his wrecked car during the race and tried to cross a live track.

 

Fact #2 - ALL motor racing is potentially dangerous, especially where the crashes are deliberate...

cheap shot, JM, imho. Someone was killed, & Warren is relieved his son didn't have to witness it. He didn't avoid the event on the off-chance a driver was killed.

Pre-race bacon sarnie at the Hollies on the A5, around 12noon.

It's too far for me, so instead I'll sit next to the Edinburgh city bypass and watch the demolition derby that takes place every weekend.

If the bastard rail replacement bus wasn't on, I'd stop by on my way down to uni for the penultimate time.

If you're in Manchester, I can give you a lift.

Pah! (See scotoshite meet last week)

I wish there was something like this in Scotland. I cant stand motorsport normally as it seems monotonous to me but a right good rammy on a track sounds like a good day out. I'd love to go.

Some video footage of yesterday's highlight:

 

 

It was a great day out and a delight to see you guys again.

Racing overall was a tad disappointing, with the main emphasis on the National Hot Rods and a very low Banger turnout.

I guess a lot of Banger racers simply stayed home because of the upcoming World Final.

At 35s on the above video there is a Adria Optima just like mine, but painted black. There is newer vans than mine being smashed up too. Wonder if the owner of the black Adria still has the windows, could do with one spare  :-P

There was also a early 80s Sprite like dad used to have.

I expected more outrage than that for the senseless destruction of rare and collectible caravans.

I aim to please.

That video is a utter joke. There are vans that are worth in excess of £300 being smashed to bits. It should be banned, and all banger racers jailed and made to join the caravan club and take an advanced* towing course. That is after they have sold me a window of course :)
