Classic HotRod Crashes/Highlights (Lightning, Stock Rods and Legends), Hednesford Raceway, 15/3/20

[@Healey-ky5gc]

Takes me back to the 1970s glory days of Gold Top 00 Martin Morris and figure of eight Banger Racing...happy days.😎

[@garrywitcomb2334]

Crackin footage,id forgotten about this one . . . Some great looking Classics,hats off to all drivers,had some good success at Hedders,but also suffered alot of damage there . . . Racing is . . . . . Racing. 😆😆😆😆😆

[@danellis1253]

Nice to see the Lightning Rods with good numbers. Thought all those Sierras had died off long ago. More of them out than the Corsa's lol

[@PescaraProductions]

It's crazy that they're still using them as there's none left on the road, but clearly they're still finding the bits. I don't think they go fast enough to get written off totally lol. No idea where all the stock rods were

[@jamie83341]

Thought that was a banger meeting for a minute amount of contact is shocking

[@frederichauweele9616]

i hope the vauxhall viva will be back on the track

[@adamjackson3436]

Jesus that Viva isn't coming back. Looks like it bent the roof. Hednesford seems to have the wildest racing at the smallest meetings lol

[@chrissharp7552]

Shocked at the standard of driving in the Lightning Rods .

[@motorthoughts28]

You should've seen Brum last year with the chap who got punted up the banking into the marshalls area!

[@andyowens5494]

That might be the last race we see for a while, given MSUKs action this afternoon :(. Its gonna be a looooong spring and summer, followed by a busy time packing some of it back in.

[@PescaraProductions]

Sadly it looks that way, all we can hope for is that May is when we come back. Some of the non orci oval racing venues are still hosting racing which is seriously crazy. But then again they fall outside of MSUK jurisdiction

[@sharkeyist]

MSUK does not govern oval racing.

[@motorthoughts28]

@@sharkeyist Thats why it says they fall outside MSUK jurisdiction

[@motorthoughts28]

Is that the same Lee Wood of BTCC fame? Gutting to see those Classics smashed up so badly but then again they're racing hard, same would have happened back in the day. Sad to see for sure but would people rather watch them crawl around and fix the results like some other formulas?

[@PescaraProductions]

Different Lee, think he works for Red Bull's F1 team. It looks like he's trying to rebuild it, but it'll be a re-shell for sure. I would rather see them race but sadly this is always gonna be a potential by-product of allowing that. It's like watching historic Ferrari's getting written off at goodwood

[@jamesford3549]

Are these original steel body cars or fibreglass reps? Doesn’t it get expensive smashing up mk2 escorts?

[@sharkeyist]

Mostly steel, not alot of original escort left, mostly custom fabbed or repro panels for the rally boys to the best of my knowledge.

[@andrewmarkham7355]

These are mk1 and 2 escorts. Not space frame chassis with fibreglass panels.

[@forevercomputing]

XR4i and 3 door Sierra on a track? Rarer now...

[@PescaraProductions]

It would appear that this is where a lot of them went

[@briscaf1racingandcrashes69]

I go to hednesfor hills all the time

[@maxyravo7855]

Classics are becoming a joke now. Too willing to knock seven bells out of each other.

[@ricky107_]

some of these looked mroe like banger races with better rollcages

[@nealadsett8484]

And I thought hot rods were non contact 🙄

[@IK750ONTOUR]

#168 shouldn't be out there , disgraceful driving should be in a banger

[@BcBeerMan61]

I think quite a few black flags should have been handed out in some of those races , certainly not all race incidents.
