Banger Racing Ipswich 1982

[@oldmoley1599]

Takes me back! I used to go a lot with my parents in the late sixties/early seventies. Unforgettable times.

[@Hologhoul]

Fantastic quality film, great commentary as well. Those were the days - so much character with all the different makes / models. I used to go to Prestwood (Buckinghamshire), that was just like this, proper banger racing!

[@darthbuzz1]

Just love Dickie Davis, great stuff. Thanks for posting.

[@stevemacfarlane3935]

that is the proper banger race's from world of sport days, old rover p4s & p5s Morris Oxford and Austin Cambridge etc, etc

[@freddieparrydrums]

I own a P5B, so sad to see

[@theslowlaneadventures9029]

Quality tin there.. the Granada was only 10 years old. What a great era

[@garrywitcomb2334]

Some great footage,cheered my day up,good to see some Real Bangers 😆😆😆

[@freddieparrydrums]

It scares me how many rare P5’s were ruined in these. Think of how many spares we’d have now

[@htimsid]

And other fine cars e.g. Austin 3-litre - such destruction.

[@montysmith6355]

i just found your site and as a American who Discorved banger racing i found it a lot more fun watching than American Nascar racing,looking forward to more videos

[@darthbuzz1]

Welcome to England sir. :)

[@montysmith6355]

@@darthbuzz1 thank you sir

[@thosetwoweirdos3543]

Wow Ipswich stadium really has changed so much! The commentary of this video is actually amazing though.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Blimey - I didn’t know that BMC made that many Austin 3 litres!

[@TheShowgirl25]

This is something I can relate to. I was there, as were 3 of my cars.

[@Fcutdlady]

What cars were running ?

[@freddieparrydrums]

I own a P5B, so sad to see

[@speakfreeley4473]

Majority of these were less than 20 years old when this took place, so not a lot to get upset about here, apart from not being keen on a Toyota Crown coupe being raced.

[@randomwalkingtours8866]

Toyota Crown coupe, Be worth a lot now, when i was about 5 next door got one and i fell in love with it, the nicest car i had ever seen

[@randomwalkingtours8866]

What a like about this, it was proper racing, cannot work out most banger racing as all drivers seem to like wiping there cars out, all the time is must take to make a car and get to the race track then go wipe car out in five mins.....MADNESS!!

[@stantheman9976]

Naughty that back marker taking out the leader.

[@StuartOliver83]

Even in this state these cars would be worth restoring these days

Would there have been punches thrown after this - 662 being spun off? I can remember seeing dust ups in the pits at Bovingdon as a kid after similar incidents and asking my dad why they were fighting and himn saying it was about what happened in the race. Maybe it was all part of the show ...

[@andrebartels1690]

No follow-ins. Nice.

[@SuperIanjohnson]

no going on opposite or truck derived tanks either, nicer !

[@asd36f]

0:33 & 0:42 - Austin 3 litre!

[@ricky107_]

Are they rare?

[@robw7676]

@@ricky107_ about 10,000 made, so not common!

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Nooooooo! Poor cars :(

[@warrenedwards6437]

I used to race at coombe valley dover in the 90s & looking for footage of me racing but can't find any dose anyone know if there is any & how I can get it please

[@pintoescort]

Same I'm looking for bodgers 1980s bangers as that's been mine. My brothers and my dad's red roof team

[@dollygibson3378]

This ought to be banned it’s so dangerous it’s just a death on a plate waiting to happen why people are into this I’ll never know

[@aidy6000]

No such thing as air quality before 1995
