NEWS IN A BOX 14-09-09       It was the 13th and despite, an expected low Banger turn out, it was not a bad day. The racing was, as billed, epic with some massive spills in the Stock Cars and not one, but TWO rolls in the Supers. The Ministox were great too, as were the Senior Minis and we had a few surprises in the Silver Roof winners... Ryan 'modesty' Bentham #525 in the Ministox, Leon 'lucky b' Barton #109 in Bangers, Jason 'Don't give two figs if yer by brother or not, I'm coming thru' Lord in the Stock Cars, Sarah 'Wopp woop' Thomas in the Ladies Race and Shaun Yeats #7 in the Senior Minis and Martin Makim #244 in the Supers will also sport the Silver roof from now on. Well done to all of you. The parade lap went well and was added too by the return of previous Champions and a water pistol fight between Team Headbangers and Team R3tards..It was very very funny. Sadly we had two accidents that needed St Johns to attend, Scott Bodily #97 fractured a knee in his Ministox, but is eager to get back racing ASAP. In the bangers Ant Kerr #880 had a nap after a wreck in his banger. Reports are saying he is generally OK tho he has hurt a wrist, poss broke it.. So anyway best wishes to both of you & get well soon! I kinda didnt mention that Ryan was very impressive as he won the Silver roof in a car he has never raced before and there was no practice...Shame Fisi in the Ferarri didn't do quite as well ;) Oh and the Stock Car Final which saw an epic duel between the Lord brothers ending in Glen #80 getting spun out & colliding with Daddy Bentham #5 while recovering, launching Betham onto the wall, with his roof fin.. TEN teams booked in ALREADY for the Team Meeting (11th Oct) you must book in now if you wanna race!

NEWS IN A BOX 05-09-09       Racing last meeting were: Stock Cars 15 Senior Minis 16 Supers 11 Unlimited & Mondeo Bangers 22 Ministox 17 Caravans 9 pulled by 8 cars Ladies Race Stock Cars Joshua Appeal raised around well over £2000. So a big thank you to all those who contributed by sponsoring or putting money in the buckets that went around the track on Sunday. No cars will be scrutineered after 11:15am on Championship Day. So get there early or theres no racing for you. So here is is Championship Day already.. I can't believe that the season has gone so quickly.. But what a season so far.. More club members, more bangers EVERY meeting than most if not all the local 'big' tracks. Great gates, considering Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort have said they are over 30% down on last year, we aint! Four strong racing classes, Ministox, Senior Minis, Supers and of course the Stock Cars.. Even the weather this awefull summer has been kind to us, least up to the Caravan meeting. What ever it is we are doing its working. But lets not let it slip.. So tell your friends, family and strangers about us and the value for money we offer. and lets keep the Club going up and lets keep it there! A big thank you to EVERYONE who has visited the track, as a spectator, racer or helping out, we couldnt do it without you. The silver roofs will be decided on the 13th..as will many trophies... Warton Stock Car Club, its all good ;) No children under 10 years old allowed on cars on the parade lap. Its an health & saftey issue.

Sadly my video camera got clobbered by its THIRD caravan in as many years and I fear has passed over. Less seemed to be more in the caravans as we got some racing as well as some awesome wrecking. the Unlimited Bangers were good too, tho would have been very low in numbers if we hadnt allowed Mondaeos to race. This backs up the committee deciding to have more 2LTR & 1400cc bangers as numbers are often more than 30 bangers at those meetings. There were dummies flying about all over the place too..bearing in mind the Club Championship is the next meeting, that was a risky way to behave. The weather held out, til the Ministox came out for the Final, it then rain for the rest of the meeting, that didn't detract from the racing tho and all classes showed some great skills coping with the wet & slippy conditions. If you stayed til the end you would have witnessed a great demo derby with a nice fire to warm up with at the end. Well done to all the Ladies who raced for Joshua in the Stock Cars, an audiable sigh of relief from the cars owners as the race finished with not one racing incident or a crash. Phillipa took the win and was as pleased as punch. More importantly money was raised for Alder Hay Hospital, and amount I'm unsure of. It was great to see Joshua walk on the track too. I assume the committee meeting on Wednesday will decide switching the Christmas Bangers from 1400cc to a Banger Vans meeting. Any thoughts let us know BEFORE TUESDAY NIGHT via e-mail or guestbook. Nothing smaller than short wheel based Transits. The Team Meeting is aproaching and we need to know who is racing. So book in now. I will just publish the Team names & colurs on here, but you DO NEED TO BOOK IN. If you don't book it YOU WILL NOT RACE. So get your team sorted and let me know.

Great action, racing and crashes throughout the day. A nice roll in the impressive Junior Rookies and plenty of action in the 2LTR Bangers, Yorks put on a brave show in both Finals, but it was Lancashire that took the overall victory. The other classes were, yet again, impressive, The Ladies race was carnage ridden, the Ministox were belting and the Stock Cars were as good as I have seen them. The Super class again put on a good show as did the Senior Minis, it was noted by me that the 'Black Pearl' tried, not once, but twice, to roll himself in the Final... He never quite made it, tho took a win in heat 1. Photos went up last nite, including that roll and two near rolls, smashes and a nice jacking or two. However, I cannot load my videos onto YOUTube as I have fallen victim to the stupid crackdown on music copyrighted stuff. it seems my videos from Download 2007 are breach of copyright and no one is allowed to show live concert footage without written consent of the artists..

For more deatails contact Graham on 07961 451348 NEWS IN A BOX 03-05-09       OK First up there were two paragraphs that didn't get into the program from Grahams Notes ... Here they are: 21st June Mr Tim Blundell has put up prize money and a trophy for the Stock Car class. The prize money will be £200, £100, and £50 for the top three point’s scorers over all races on the day. The winner will also receive the Gerry Blundell Trophy. This Trophy will become an Annual Event. Thank you to Tim, I am sure this generous offer will be well received by the stock car drivers. One unfortunate incident which marred the last meeting was that apparently some youngsters were throwing stones over to cliff at the back of the lapscorers cabin. One stone smashed a car windscreen below, incurring cost and inconvenience for the driver. Please make sure that you know what your children are doing, and if anyone witnessed this incident please come and see me in confidence. As we feel we need to take all appropriate action to prevent a repeat of this regrettable incident. Sundays racing was EPIC in every way.. The Bangers (26) were on top form with great racing and wrecking, the Ministox were, again, great fun to watch as was the Senior Minis and Supers, both classes having some good action packed competitive racing, with 140 Samantha Taylor cleaning up in the points for the day! The Stock Cars saw some great tussles and the continual rise of 123 Stephen Hoggarth in the class, only months after moving up from Ministox this driver is looking like a future champion, sooner rather than later too! Another Hoggarth, named Gerald, also number 123 (how odd), was a great driver, least he says so, but I think Stephen will proove to be betterer, or not ;) The Supers had fun too and I was forced to eat my program report when a certain R3tarded driver took a blinking win, who would have thort it? Hey ho such is life ;) BOOK in now to race 2LTR Bangers or Junior Rookies for WARton of the ROSES, plenty of spaces so far, but will soon go. Spaces are limited so use the booking in page NOW 07:06:09 Is going to see a Van Banger meeting, as well as the 2LTR bangers and full race card. Banger Vans myust be NO BIGGER than a short wheel base single wheel transit size . Also a full spec build will be required. Please book in if your interested in racing a Banger Van on this day. At 1400cc meetings any cars not prooven to be 1400cc or less in engine size WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RACE. You have been warned!! The sectioning of the pits is here to stay, the reasons being to help us speed up waits between races, so we dont have to have anyone running around all over the place to see if cars are racing or not and to scrutineer faster. Stock Cars park in first section after the ramp. Bangers park the otherside of the oil barrels and along the seafront. Ministox & Snr Minis park along the shoreline to the tyres Supers park from outgate to the tyres NOTE families with multiple class cars can park where they feel is best. The litter problem was greatly reduced, two Sundays earlier I collect six or seven bags of litter from around the outside of the track. After Sundays meeting, it was only ONE bag. The pits looked alot tidier too. Its a great start and thanks, but lets keep it up and see if we can do better for the rest of the season and beyond!

So then we have ALL classes racing on Sunday, Ministox, Supers, Snr.Minis, Stock Cars & Bangers and the weather will be dry and warm!! So lets get ready to race. At 1400cc meetings any cars not prooven to be 1400cc or less in engine size WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RACE. You have been warned!! Tim Blundell is putting up a lot of cash for the STOCK CARS for the 21:06:09 meeting. Money for the top three point scorers ON THE DAY.. PRIVATE CARS are no longer allowed in the pits. This is an Insurance and Health & Saftey issue. The tyres near the tiolets are to be moved more into the pit area to allow more spectator parking. Failure to comply may lead to all none racers being stopped from going into the pits on race days. The sectioning of the pits seemed to work last meeting and will be enforced again this meeting.

Ministox & Snr Minis park along the shoreline to the tyres Supers park from outgate to the tyres This parking allows for quicker scrutineering and also makes it easier to see who is, or isnt, racing in each. NOTE families with multiple class cars can park where they feel is best. I know I keep harping on about litter, but we are based on a bird sanctuary and therefore are blinking lucky we can still race. We must not give some Do Gooder the ammo to cause this to stop. If you like racing, or watching racing, PLEASE DO NOT DROP LITTER ON THE FLOOR, either walk and put it in the bins (about 30 dotted around on race days) or take it home. The pits were the worst place for cans, nappies and bottles.. Why not apoint a 'litter monitor' from your group to make sure you leave the track as clean as you find it.. It seems EVERYONE, apart from Aaron & his dad, Graham and myself, have better things to do on a non race day other than go and pick up YOUR rubbish. To be honest we do too, but I tell you I will think twice before doing it again, if you want the club to get fined thousands, or even closed down, drop litter... just dont come crying to us when you have no, affordable racing to watch.

NEWS IN A BOX 14-04-09       So then, a great day on Sunday. Good racing and fab action. Great photo finish in the Ministox (again) and some big wrecks in the 39 bangers that turned up! Photos & Vids been up a while now. There are TWO banger vids on YOUTube from Sunday. I have edited them so the heats are together as are the Final, Dash4Cash & DD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A LITTER PICK ON SUNDAY. Why don't people realise that dropping ANY litter could shut us down! Tracks have closed recently, Millom and Barrow to name but two. DON'T LET WARTON BE NEXT! Where will you race, or go to watch racing ?? Don't risk it, bag it & bin it, or better still TAKE IT HOME!! If you leave dirty nappies in the pits you are possably the most distgusting person ever, sick in the head, not deserving of being a parent, we do not need people like you. Last track day many nappies were found in the pits.. Its not a joke, you need to discard your litter either in bins or take it home. If you can't dispose of nappies and for that matter any rubbish properly, then STAY AWAY, do the rest of us a favour. NEWS IN A BOX 08-04-09       Not long until the Easter Speed King Trophy. The first race is The Shirley McMeeking Memorial Trophy for the Ministox. Its over a year since our Shirley passed on and this is the second race in here honour. Last years winner, Josh Vickers is moving up to, I think Snr. Minis, so who will have their name on the trophy in 09? Not long til we find out. Points are up for grabs from now, best of luck to all drivers in 2009. We need to sort out the pits on race day and it has been decided that the best way is to put race classes together in them. Stock Cars will be in the same place as now, Bangers the other side of the oil drums. Supers will be from the exit Gate to the catering vans and Minis (ministox & Seniors will be along the shoreline. This is to make it easier on race day to find if cars are racing and to help speed up scrutineering. Note we are aware that a few families race in more than one class and they can park where ever they feel best. Apperance money WILL be paid at the Easter meeting (to racing members only). Keep checking the Twitter box for updates, as and when they happen. NEWS IN A BOX 03-04-09       Track Day is on Sunday starting around 10am but anytime will be good. Litter is an issue again, so massive litter pick & painting of the track wall also take place. Please spare some time and help us out, even if its only a couple of hours!! Well done to Ted, who almost single handidly, won one of the Team Meeting classes for Ant Hill Mob. Also a big well done to Krazy Krew who won the other. Photos are up here, and on Northern Bangers, No97 and Catleys sites. The team meeting was a huge success, with 84 bangers putting on a great show. The Ministox, Supers & Senior Minis also did us proud.. Thanks one and all ;) Best wishes to Russ McBain who broke his wrist in, I think, the Demo Derby.
