Introduction
A big day of “Bangers and Smash” - with three banger classes on the bill – topping the bill the 2L Banger Bandit Memorial, 1500cc Bangers and Reliant Robins; a day of thrills, spills and smashed up cars where the day will end with TWO destruction derby events; where to win you have to be the last car running! If that wasn’t enough - the Ramp Rollover competition returns; a great addition to the fixtures last year and a fan favourite!
The Spectator gates will open at 11am. The arena boasts great viewing all around (plenty of under-cover viewing too!), FREE on site and overflow parking, disabled viewing, licensed bars, ample food outlets and other great facilities. Please note that all bags will be searched on entry and coolboxes, glass and alcohol are not allowed to be bought into the venue.
There are currently 60 2Litre Bangers, 45 1500cc Bangers, 21 Reliant Robins and 9 for the Ramp Rollover booked in to race.

Two-Litre Bangers
Michael “Bandit” Bailey was a very popular racer of the local Predators team, so it’s not surprising a good number of “The Preds” out today to remember “Bandit”. It’s not often you see a full Predator line up due to varying commitments, but they’re out in force Bank Holiday Monday and – no doubt – up for a crash! Leading the line up is Team Captain Kieran Bowman (178); joined by the likes of Robert Betts (219), Joel Allan (479), Lee Middleton (519) and Ady Gibbs (176) – who makes a rare outing – won the memorial in 2014; the last Predator to do so. They will be joined by new converts Damien Matthews (87) and Stu Davies (622); it’s a strong outing for the Preds today.
The distinctive Blue and Red Predator machines will be here in good numbers
Three of the last four memorial races have gone to Team Allsorts; James Licquorice (51); won the race in 2015 and 2017 and Jack Maryon (212) will be defending the trophy this year. Both are usually in the thick of the action; and will be ones to watch either racing or wrecking, they do both!
Jack Maryon (212) won this event last year, seen here picking his way through a pile up!
Other big names in the field include the National Points champion Lee White (830), Ashley Garrod (337), and Andy Battle (898) who won the memorial in 2008; who will all be within a chance of winning?
Maximum entertainment with some of Big Teams also joining us; The Gladiators are coming in big numbers; Lewis Price (349) leading the team alongside Phil Milner (201) and Simon Smith (548) and a number more!
A good number of the Gladiators are coming, keep an eye on the Red and White cars!
The Popular Aftermath team will be amongst the line up; the ever entertaining Callum White (100) will be amongst the action; joined by the Coopers; Shaun (602), Jon (603) and Ross (604) – all of which aren’t afraid of getting stuck in.
The Shunters team will take to the track in good numbers and heavily involved in the banger scene here; plus throw in to the mix the Mad Hatters David Gibson (390) and Jonny Atkin (399); Gibson the 2016 of the event; it should be a brilliant day of 2 litre bangers
Crushed and crumpled cars are the norm for 2 Litre Banger racing
1500 Bangers
The popular mid-sized bangers turnout with another strong entry, with a number of drivers following doubling up between these and the 2 Litre classes; Taylor Sowter (388) and Karl Corsby (175) will be two of them doubling up and looking for success. Sowter makes the long haul to be with us once again; he is happy to get involved in a crash or two – he currently leads the Entertainers league, but has the previously mentioned Kieran Bowman (178) not far behind!
Expect Taylor Sowter to be involved in the action!
Micro UK Champion Tony Pallett (566), is one of the top drivers and be will be looking to set the pace once more. He will face tough competition from Ben Mynott (352) who really is in form around King’s Lynn at the minute; taking a Wild Card win for the 1500 National Championship earlier this year and top Shale racer Martin Wesby (837).
Local favourite Nicky ‘Spud’ Young (791) is back on track joined by many regular King’s Lynn drivers; Chris Wick (10), Troy Cobbett (12), Donny Mann (135) and Aaron Mann (143). Plus Brad Bartrum (69) and Jamie Blything (248) who are always worth keeping an eye on; plus many, may more!

Reliant Robins
The three wheelers affectionally known as ‘Plastic Pigs’ never fail to disappoint on track; their last meeting here on Easter Monday in particular getting the crowd on their feet. Rolls and bodywork scattered around the arena all part and parcel of Reliant Racing!
Expcet a lot of rollovers from the Reliant Robins!
The booking list includes some of the formula’s top drivers. Leading the way is World Champion Daniel Douglas (553); joined by National Points champion Roy Gedge (385), both came away with a race victory last meeting; they will be joined by.
Former World of Shale Champion James Ellis (85) won the meeting final here last time; with the hugely experienced British Champion Colin Aldred (576) following him in second. Regular Reliant Robin pilots Ian Robin (96), Lee Barnard (490) and Ray Layton (16) rounded out the top five in that race.
Chaos from our last Reliant Robin meeting!
Keep your eyes peeled when the Robins are on track – when they roll, they roll big!
Ramp Rollover
An institution of Short Oval racing, the inaugural King’s Lynn event took place last year to great success. It should provide plenty of spectacle! Driving intentionally at the take off ramp - drivers win the competition by scoring points for the number of rolls and far away from the ramp landed. Last year’s event was won by Ramp Rollover veteran Steve “Psycho” Hemmings. Will he be back to retain his crown?
One of last years Ramp Rollover entries, they fly high and far!
Funfair Rides
All the fun of the fair will be at King's Lynn on Monday, we will have two rides in attendance. The good news for mum and dad is that the rides will be free for the kids to go on as often as they like! We will have the Funhouse and The Jets in place at the end of the homestraight.
