Notice to Van Banger Drivers

With the van banger meeting now only a month away, drivers are reminded of the latest ORC rules with regard to Van Bangers

19. VAN MEETINGS

• Roll cages must be a minimum of one acrow bar up to a maximum of a full roll cage. If the single bar option is used, it must be fitted centrally behind the driver's seat, plated top and bottom, minimum 4 bolts per plate. A full roll cage is recommended on fibreglass bodies and flat fronted vans, so as to help protect the driver's feet. If fibreglass type body, then the door plate can be welded to the rollcage on the driver's side. The driver's seat must be secured at shoulder height to the door pillars or cage, if fitted. Each promotion may have additional regulations – please check.
• An engine guard is permitted on cam belt or forward facing distributor type engines. This is to protect the engine only and not to add strength to the van and may only be bolted to the engine. The scrutineers decision is final.
• Vans with independent chassis, the rear end must be removed back up to the rear spring hanger, to allow the body to collapse.
• If it is not possible to fit a water tank within the National Banger rules above, the local Promoter may allow the fitment elsewhere within the car.
• Engines must be in original position.
• No air cooled 'Plant' type engines
• Roll cage may not extend beyond the front bulkhead.
