Warton Stock Car Club Website for 2009

For ALL the information you require about Warton Stock Car Club keep it WARTONONLINE.COM.

We have seven classes we race at Warton... They are listed below.. Note not all classes race at all meetings check the Fixtures page for more details.

Most classes have two heats a Final and a Grand National per meeting (Demo Derby replases Grand National in the Bangers)

Bangers

Bangers Bangers

Action a Plenty with these cars. MOT failures given a last change to have some fun. The racing is always hard and you will not believe what you see, cars you think are damaged beyond repair will, most likely, return to the track later.. Even if there is a wheel or two missing..

Ministox

The first of our TWO junior classes. 10 to 16 yerar olds racing modded Minis with a standard 1000c.c. engine. Speed, action and amazing skills are shown by the youngsters, tho sometimes it goes a little Pete Tong..

Snr Minis

New in 2008, with more cars promised for this season, this class will grow & grow. Not too different from the Ministox cept for the 1300c.c. engines and the drivers are all growed up too. So expect Thrills & Spills.

Stock Cars

Purpose built beasts, massive powerhouses, huge wings & awesome speed (some claim they can reach 80MPH on the straight). Opened wheels adds to the fun, they can get tangled and at this speeds its often ends in tears..

Supers

Supers Supers

The Supers have been around for years, featuring heavily modified road cars with any engine (biiger & louder seems most popular) these cars race at speeds that would make your eyes bleed. Ear plugs are also recommended...

Ladies Race

We hold a good few ladies races throughout the year, ladies in bangers. Its a great experiance for the 'fairer sex' to get down and dity on our racetrack. Often its quite civil, other times its hand bags at dawn... Love it.

Junior Rookies

Junior Rookies (photo to follow)

After the issues with the Junior Bangers last year, we have devised this class. They look like banhgers, but have radiators still in their original position. 10-16 year olds will race them, nudge & spin only.. Usually very entertaining. (Full Junior Rookie rules below)..
