Stags raced as bangers

[Guest]

Not everyones cup of tea perhaps but searching the net I found out a couple of Stags were raced as Bangers last year and being curious I researched this for an article.

If you're interested go to the Notts & Derby web pages where I've published the gory details with pictures.

Here's the link, not sure this will work but let me know if not.

http://www.stag.org.uk/index.aspx?pid=712

Or navigate from the SOC homepage (once logged in) and then go to Members Area Map/Midlands Region/Notts&Derby.

Yes, look like originals in reasonable nick, doubt they exist now though. :-(
These folks don't always know the value of what they're racing.

A very sad sight indeed i know a banger racing team whotake racing seriouslyand last year they raced a mint Volvo Amazon there was nothing wrong with it at all still mot`d, they told me they gain extra points on the condition of the car and it dose not have to be a banger tobe raced

HI ,Read the article,looked at the photos before destruction and after,heard all the arguments for doing thisbut Im sorry still think this is absolutely criminal,what a waste !

Dont care that the Stag is not as rare as some marques raced still not convinced by the reasoning,there must be a more dignified ,useful way to end the life of this much cherished marque.

Im sureothers sharemy view,

This is the bit that made mewild :X:

"we found out it was actually in a far better state than it first appeared. Admittedly, everything on it was seized up but the actual shell itself was pretty solid, there was no rot at all in the floor and the inner sills were almost perfect"

All banger racers say that to annoy the likes of us ...... :X:X:X

I find it annoying that they have ruined cars that could be saved as well

Its no different to current cars some of which cannot be economically repaired when they are 6/7/8/9 years old..... should be criminal but it isnt!
