Micro Banger Crazy Races
The Micro bangers are a fans favourite, they might be small cars, but the action and entertainment is anything but small; they are always brilliant around King’s Lynn.
Micro Banger races see plenty of wrecked cars and action packed races
The action will even go up a notch to normal with the annual Crazy Races which will include some themes races including a Le Mans Start against the wall, a Spin and Start and a Spin the Leader as some of the themed races. The crazy races are great fun and the drivers love them too as something different to the norm!
Will 51 James Licquorice get into the Wacky races theme be trying to make his car fly once again!
Expect big hits from the likes of Team Allsorts with James (51) and Jack (511) Licquorice. Jon Bailey (247) is another who is usually in the mix as is Kieran Bowman (178) and Taylor Sowter (388). Bowman and Sowter having a busy day racing in the 4X4 Bangers too! Likewise for National Points Champion Lee White (830) who is also doubling up.
Expect 247 Jon Bailey and 511 Jack Licquorice to be heavily involved in the action
Big action and big hits we’re sure for the Micros; they do not disapoint - non stop action all the way. The Micro Bangers are also racing for the Commentator's Cup which goes to the highest points scorer on the day and is sponsored by the Oxby family. This will be the thid formula this has been contested in having been raced for in 2L and 1500cc Bangers in the past.
Big hits are part and parcel of a Micro Banger race
4x4 SUV Bangers
The 4x4s make their only appearance of the year and will provide a unique take on banger racing; you don't need a lot of them for some heavy action - these are big brutes that take a lot of stopping!
4x4 SUV Banger events are action packed affairs
As these machines are only raced once a year, drivers tend to want to destroy them and with a line up big entertainers bringing one – that’s likely to be the case!
Get ready for the big machines to dish out some big hits!
Local favourite Nicky Young (791) is sure to wow the fans, as will the likes of Chris Shipp (170) and Aiden Storr (851) who are all hugely entertaining racers. Lee Barnes (41) and Lee Horwood (441) drivers who are always interested in a crash and usually take home wrecked cars.
Expect crowd favorites 170 Chris Shipp and 791 Nicky Young to be heavily involved in the action
Siamese Bangers
These double-decker machines also make their only appearance of the year at King’s Lynn; only one other tack offers this form of racing - it's certainly quite a unique exerpience. In each pair, one driver will be in a mid sized range or above; this car will have ownership of the pedals; whilst the second driver will be above in the smaller car, where they will control the steering.
The Siamese Bangers produce some excellent entertainment as the drivers work out a method of racing; either they will really have to know their team member or just go with it and hope for the best!
Siamese Bangers provide crazy action with the top driver controlling the steering and the bottom driver controlling the accellerator and brake
A Siamese Banger head in is certainly spectacular!
The entry of Siamese drivers this year has increased on last year and will certainly be an interesting set of races! The list of drivers include some of the best drivers from the King's Lynn banger scene too; it's going to be a great afternoon for this class.
A Siamese banger is raised back onto its wheels after toppling over!
Reliant Robins
The three-wheelers are sure to delight the crowd, - when these cars roll - they roll big! Multiple rollovers and shedding the fibreglass shells along the way.
Keeping a Reliant Robin on three wheels is hard work!
Staying on all three wheels and staying in tact is a challenge!
Formation Reliant Robin rollover
The field includes world champion Daniel Douglas (553) as well as several more top drivers including National Points Champion Roy Gedge (385) and former World of Shale Champion James Ellis (85). It will be a hugely competitve afternoon of action for the three wheelers.
385 Roy Gedge and 553 Daniel Douglas will be hoping they dont crash out like this!
