2LTR Bangers 2LTR Bangers 2LTR Bangers 2LTR Bangers

WSCC Bangers Bangers

The crowd pullers, big banger meetings mean big gates.. Cars, M.O.T. failures, driven to destruction.
There are rules -- honest -- they inclued no drivers dooring (thats where a car t-bones another in the drivers door), no turning around (except in DD) and no follow-ins (where a car pushes another into the wall without letting go). There is often cars rolling on their roofs, but always something to make you gasp (steady on ladies I'm talking about the cars!)

Most meetings have a DD, where the last car moving wins, usually picking up a small cash prize.

We have a few different sorts of racing at W.S.C.C. with bangers...

A 2 Litre Banger 2LTR BANGERS

These are cars with engines no bigger than two litres, also size is taken into consideration. These meetings tend to have more cars than their bigger rivals..

An Unlimited Jag Banger car UNLIMITED BANGERS

Big cars, but dwindling numbers (apart from Metal Mania), due to the high price of these cars, and for that matter, the rareity of them, numbers are not usually as high as the 2LTR meetings, that said the action is always great as we see Grannys and Yanks drastically shortened.

1400c.c. Banger 1400CC BANGERS

Tiny cars, like Micras, Corsas and Metros. Good fun in abundance and wrecks look good too. Maybe the way forward to keep banger racing for future generations.

Metro Banger METRO BANGERS

Once a year we have the Metro meeting, where all bangers are Metros! That said numbers of these are on the decline, so this year might see a slight modifacation to the class.

Robin Banger ROBIN BANGERS

Another once a year class..Those little three wheeled cars that you might see old folks driving at 3 miles a week on the road, well at Warton we open them up and smash em to pulp, usually the Sunday of the HESP meeting.. Great fun.

Caravan Banger CARAVAN BANGERS

August Bank Holiday Sunday sees the Top Gear/Brainiac fave meeting. Yup Caravan Banger Racing, it may be short but my word its fun, Unlimited Bangers towing stripped out caravans round the track, check out the videos. If you only visit W.S.C.C. once in 08, this is the meeting to come!

We also have a few BANGER meetings in the year - They also feature some or all of the other classes.

Metal Mania METAL MANIA

Introduced a few years back, the first ever one featured on Granada TV with a celeb (Z-List) driving a car. Its Unlimited, has big prize money and has drawn up some teams from Scotland and Kent (BEARS). The meeting is usually in March and is the season opener.

WARton of the Roses WARton of the Roses

Cooked up by Paul and myself at a committee meeting. Two Teams, Red for Lancs, White for Yorks. Three Classes, Jnr. Bangers - 2LTR Bangers and Unlimited Bangers, all race for points to win for their county, its a bit of fun and some drivers don't live in the county they race for, but they are passionate about their colour. Prize money for the winning team too.

Team Meeting Team Meeting

The Team Meeting has been drawing cars and crowds for decades. Teams of up to four compete to take the tile of NORTHWEST OPEN TEAM CHAMPIONS and a big prize pot. Big hits, hard racing and a relaxation of the follow-in rule means this is a crowd pleaser, numbers have risen again since its been moved back to October.
