Arena Essex All Granada's Weekend 19-20/10/13

The eagerly anticipated meeting of the year featuring the return of the infamous Suicide Squad and a big turn out for the Condoms.
Over 200 cars raced over the 2 days and produced something that will live forever!
Here is the best of what I caught.

[@bulldog1066jpd]

One of Arena Essex's best meeting for both cars and spectators.

[@basketballcoachmike]

[@julianjessopp6630]

I'm glad to see it in all its 27 minute glory, what a meeting, to see all the teams that i love to watch in the best cars made for banger racing has been a real treat, well done slotty for another great video.

[@Troub11]

Absolutely brilliant, trip down memory lane I was there to witness this carnage, thank you 😎👍🏻

[@thisiszaphod]

All Granadas. Some not stolen.

[@RetroStationSutton]

Condoms Vs Suicide Squad was epic. Love the filler dropping out at 15:20!!

[@889jmt]

proper meeting. Love them Granadas. good action packed meeting.

[@chuckyandjosh]

You Brit's are awesome ! This is a real demolition derby ! Here in Canada (Comber fair) they have you in a squared off pen 1/4 the size of your track. I forgot to mention it's in mud...freakin mud ! top speed 30 mph or 50 kmph if they're lucky, you see more red flags than a bull fight . The sad thing is people here think our demolition derbys are normal..news for them they have no idea what a real demo is. On my next visit to Sheffield i'm going to enjoy a real demolition derby there at Arena Essex !

[@ToxxiczzHD]

chuckyandjosh lol yep i agree, although you guys have NASCAR which i Love the speed in it.

[@theguy1318]

+ToxxiczzHD Not in Canada.. That's more the states :(

[@theguy1318]

Also Chuck East or West side of Canada?

[@bigwhistla]

Excellent footage! Glad to say I was there!

[@johnrossiter7207]

Brillant MEETING

[@quinney3]

superb once again

[@The-Real-Term]

This...is...fucking...amazing.

[@paatcho]

Great video, hard hits! Tough old Granadas by the way!

[@chiefrocka8604]

Gooo Ohhhhn Gooooooo Ohhhhhhhn Banger speak

[@AutorodeoNederland]

superb ash!

[@terrihargreaves9257]

Ts banger car raceing its amazeing I have grown up with this as my dad was a racer the demolition derby is the best

[@NationalHotRod]

If you could edit that to 5 or 6 mins,you would have one of the best banger videos ever mate! Superb

[@kierantthompson4336]

Best buzz ever

[@Mechknight73]

To think, Ford Australia took the late 70s "square" Granada, and turned it into the XD Falcon. The pinnacle of which was a 351 cubic inch V8, which did battle in races like Bathurst. It spawned Fairlane and LTD models, and to this day is one of the favourite Falcons in Australia

[@asd36f]

Maybe someone should take an XD to England and enter it in a banger race

[@Mechknight73]

It would be a waste to do that, as the XD Falcon was akin to an overdose of steroids on the Granada.

[@markjohn4802]

Will there be any left for the future "All Granada" meets? I think not. Half finished restoration projects always end up here. So finish the job you started!!

[@MantaRacer89]

R.I.P Granada :´´´´(

[@THOMASTHUNDERPEEN]

Since I have no idea of most of the makes of these cars (I'm American, and these don't seem familiar, so yeah) I love it, 10/10 would do this any day.

[@Hotrodelectric]

Ford Granada, made in Great Britain and Germany. We never got these. The Granada we saw in the mid '70's was a far different car.

[@EarthhhhOfficial]

This looks like fun. What kind of racing si this?

[@ypoora1]

This is bangerracing

[@demoman8581]

ypoora1 these people are nut cases

[@chloedraper6832]

This is the best racing ever and even though I am 10 I going to be doing it soon

[@illduitmyself]

there is chaos and disorder and no rules.....how much are the tickets :)

[@briansteffmagnussen9078]

I thought the Granada was a valuable relic because they tend to rust away. Well the fewer Granadas that is back, the more worth the survivors will have

[@THOMASTHUNDERPEEN]

Also, not enough baseball caps and denim shirts and such for it to be video footage from America, so I'm going to assume this is in Essex as the titles says (Hurr, I'm smert, guys c:)

[@helm665]

quality video

[@johnboy888]

I'm surprised they still use classic granada's - surely there can't be many left! looks like alot of fun though.

[@tonywelling6912]

with what they do to the moter it ant the same car no more

[@KohDean]

Tony Welling and they made millions of em

[@gorp27]

Awesom, A high speed demolition derby. Wish we had those here in th USA.

[@jessepfeiff2114]

I don't think this would be accepted in the United States because in the United States we demo derby on dirt and in the UK I don't think they do straight up demolition derby

[@chuckyandjosh]

Forgot to mention on my comment bellow YOUR ALL CRAZY ! in a awesome way !

[@Orrex11]

15:58 was pretty epic.

[@KohDean]

damn i should went to this its only 5 mins down the road but i hear the suicide squad and the condoms had a fierce rivalry hehehe

[@cmsracing]

Could someone please explain the rules or rather the point of this type of DD? In the US the last one moving is the winner. It seams here that you get style points for crashing! What gives?

[@braders790boop]

this isn't a demolition derby. this is just a race (where who crosses the line first wins). but contact is encouraged. although obviously if you ARE the last one running you automatically win

[@henrikhyrup3995]

27 minutes of wrecking, bloody hell :)

[@dualityz]

that a helmet that goes flying out of the car at 8:16 ?

[@CivilEngineerWroxton]

+Brian Ferguson Yep, I frame-by-framed it and it is definitely a helmet. That is crazy.

[@austintaborski430]

Nice

[@NJPurling]

When all the classic cars are gone and all that's left are modern FWD boxes the racing will go back to tip-n-spin because the modern cars are too fragile & the engines & rear ends are far too vulnerable to go full-contact unless you take a dozen cars to the meeting.

[@pavlik2u]

itll buff right out lol

[@raisahoekerd8618]

and het is heel erg leuk/cool/gaaf.

[@raisahoekerd8618]

Raisa Hoekerd heeft iemand hier een komantaar op of niet

[@happyhammer1120]

Do the race marshals get paid? They look like they're worth their weight in gold. Great video.

[@prohunter895gaming6]

Happy hammer i think thay do but not alot not enugh to make a living anayways

[@prohunter895gaming6]

Happy hammer thay have other jobs like work in shops or some thing like that and get off on the week ends and they wave flags

[@youngcarter765]

Free-for-All Racing lol

[@colburnrichards5419]

[@mcmmilo]

[@chriswoolger60]

[@Ch-thalassa]

[@paultaane1314]

There's some panel work for ya

[@sunnienorman1823]

My dad is a racer in lightning rods and I really support him so can you put him on KZbin he is 122 please he would love it 😍

[@068dirtboy]

this SHIT looks WAY TOO DANGEROUS. cant believe the track promoter and owner would be ok with this.

[@Draxindustries1]

Its a shame there isnt an all Fords demo to include all the shit like mk1 escorts and the like plus all the rest of the crap Ford produced..

[@alfiearmiger5855]

The other one thing play at

[@KoKopuffs6]

i wiould never do this way to dangerous for me

[@02proctera2]

Surely at 15:00 that's attempted murder haha

[@rickywitherington7643]

i went to dis derby

[@simond1001]

It isn't a derby it's a banger race

[@dosbox907]

4:28 that driver side hit was fuckin sketch.

[@marcuswilhelmsen8583]

neh neh neh

[@captnhook236]

DAAAAAMN Some of those dont look good at all... that shit it crazy!!! FOOK THIS RACE!!! LMFAO

[@Mark-ei2sg]

[@RetroAdzz]

And this is why I can't afford my dream classic car

[@austintaborski430]

[@Anilkumar-lm3ro]

[@johnmoore9588]

TheSpectator Videos your grammar is shit

[@bricencook701]

I prefer American Demolition derbies.....but I'm not saying this isn't cool

[@scorpioglx]

[@Dav1as]

Это бабы сдают экзамен в ГАИ

[@mendezc10]

Better than those shitty mondeo's. Banger racing is dying unfortunately

[@otherunicorn]

What I fail to see is why people keep calling these dime-a-dozen generic family cars "classic cars".

[@austintaborski430]

Be quiet fog

[@derekcarveitup649]

This is dangerous and should be banned!

[@slottyslot]

Derek Drewry Drop a thumbs up

[@derekcarveitup649]
