Meeting Format
Introduction
Banger Racing takes centre stage on Sunday 4 August (1pm) where three classes of National Bangers - the Unlimited Bangers, 2L Bangers and Micro Bangers are all in action together with the fantastic UK Modifieds. Destruction will be the name of the game on Sunday with every class of Bangers completing the action with a Destruction Derby! A last minute change from the expected format where we were due to host the annual Head to Head – but this won’t be taking place as Mildenhall could not get the numbers of cars required.
A great meeting ahead and the drivers will be doing their best to put on a show regardless with some wild card places up for grabs to some of our biggest races in 2019 and 2020.
Spectator gates will open 2 hours before start time. 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 25 Unlimited Bangers, 28 2 Litre Bangers, 38 Micro Bangers and 10 UK Modifieds booked in to race.
If you are booked in and are no longer able to race please let us know asap. If you are not booked in and would like to race please book in asap by texting 07939 580652, drivers turning up not booked in to race will not receive complimentary admissions which they may be entitled to.
Drivers please note that the pits open at 10am and your early arrival will be appreciated. Drivers turning up in the last hour could well find themselves missing their first race. Please note you will not be able to save space in the pits and if you want to park with someone please make sure you turn up with them. Only race transporters will be allowed in the pits
Unlimited Bangers
In the Unlimited Bangers, a number of top drivers will be sure to keep the wrecking going Callum White (100), Jackson Whitehead (330) and Callum Roberts (396) particularly no stranger to putting the hits about. Not forgetting Taylor Sowter (388) who is in command of the Entertainers League this season and likely to look to want to increase that lead.
Lots of crashing is the norm with Taylor Sowter (388)!
Ricky Hutton (623) will visit and also no stranger of getting in the mix of the action, he took a very wrecked machine home earlier in the year!
Jack Deacon (103), Wayne Bailey (149), Tommy Callaghan (299) and Michael Carter (329) are great all round racers who will happily get stuck in too.
Ricky Hutton (623) is sure to be involved on the action!
The Unlimited Bangers will see the winner of the final plus top 3 meeting entertainers go to this year's unlimited World of Shale on Saturday 7th September in Wild Card places.
2 Litre Bangers
In the 2 Litre Bangers another good mix of wreckers and racers join the line up, with some of the best Mondeo pilots in the country joining us. James Licquorice (51), Callum White (100) and Kieran Bowman (178) are normally a force to be reckoned with on their day, particularly in their favoured Banger class.
Action aplenty in the 2 Litre Bangers!
John Reeves (188) is a very capable racing driver, but also handy entertainer too when the opportunity presents itself. Stu Carman (841) and Tyler Reid (843) will be looking to get stuck in too and both have been excellent to watch Mondeo drivers on previous outings. Lester (40) and Wes Freestone (340) add to a great line up – Wes winner of the Bandit Memorial knows how to get a car around King’s Lynn quickly.
Will there be any cars going home like this on Sunday?
The return! The man, the myth, the legend - Trackstar’s own Matt Black (25) returns to racing action on the King’s Lynn shale and we are looking forward to seeing how he goes.
The 2Litre Bangers will see the winner of the final plus top 3 meeting entertainers go to the 2020 World Final.

Micro Bangers
They might be the smallest bangers of the meeting, but the Micros won’t be the smallest on action, over 30 cars scheduled for battle.
Expect Taylor Sowter (388) to be putting more hits about this Sunday!
A good number of regular Micro Banger pilots will be joining us; Aaron Mann (143), Olly Scott (339), Jack Licquorice (511) Matt Tillow (556) and Cameron Hubbard (624) – all very handy racers on their day
Jamie Blything (248), Josh Stewart (334) and Ryley Frestone (342) also booked in, all have been in the winners circle at King’s Lynn this season and looking for more success.
Callum Lacey (412) usually gets stuck in on the action
A full field wreckers though will join the line up; including Jon Bailey (247), Callum Lacey (412) and Ryan Sutcliffe (664) who have claimed many entertainer awards between them. Mackenzie Whitehead (331), Taylor Sowter (388) and Fabian Leathers-Ashley (808) also very likely to be getting stuck in too!
The Micro Bangers will see the winner of the final plus top 3 meeting entertainers go to the Micro UK Final in September.
Non-stop action in the Micro Bangers

UK Modifieds
We welcome back the UK Modifieds, a couple of years since they have raced with us – non contact racing, but fast American style Modified machines that will be rapid around the raceway. We might just hit double figures of entrants – which given they are a last minute addition is a great showing from them – thank you.
We look forward to having the UK Modifieds back with us
We look forward to some of the top drivers from the class including Simon Panton (28) – who was a regular racer here in his F1 Stock Car days - Alan Scothern (45) and Colin Bunyard (306) joining us.
It will be another excellent afternoon of action all round from these four classes - not to be missed!
