I enjoyed the heck out of watching this. Being in California for 30 years now it was fantastic to see the old place and faces that were once familiar every weekend when I was down "Sarf". Interesting to see how some people have changed........But yet stayed the same ! :-) Well done to everybody out there your all heroes to me both Yellow and Pink I'm proud of you ALL it looked like a great show.

I have been out of racing for 24 years myself. The doctors tell me I can't ever race again or it could sever my spinal cord due to old work related injury. I have also had throat cancer and the radiation left my lower jaw quite frail. If I were to break it, I would have to have the jaw of a cadaver put in to replace it. Oh well I can't complain at all. It was 200+ demolition derbies 89 heat wins and 78 feature wins. 49 figure 8 races, I forget how many heat wins, and 17 feature wins. I am more than happy with those numbers and regret none of it!

@Albert-lj5jb5 жыл бұрын
If they were hitting each other like that in fully ironed out cars like stock cars, then they would get seriously hurt, the fact that bangers fold up is what takes a lot of impact away from the drivers themselves, use some logic.
@ronfullerton31625 жыл бұрын
@@Albert-lj5jb A cage should not prevent the body from giving or folding up to absorb impact. It can be just large enough to surround the driver to give him full protection from all directions. But I can see them using what they are completely familiar and happy with. As an old racing statement goes, "You run what you bring"!
@Albert-lj5jb5 жыл бұрын
@@ronfullerton3162 Exactly, that's why in Stock Cars, although still full contact, doing follow-ins and head-ons is not allowed since the strengthening of the cars is so much that the drivers can get seriously injured from big impacts. That's not to say it still doesn't ever happen..... I've seen more people get seriously hurt in a Stock Car than in a Banger, because the latter gives a lot, whereas the former doesn't give much at all.
@timmorodgers42714 жыл бұрын
There's a steel plate that's bolted across the drivers door though the pillars that effectively forms part of the roll "cage" As well as protecting the driver from drivers door hits it helps to keep the bulkhead on the drivers side from collapsing onto the driver in hard front end impacts.

Good god, there are some good teams in this film. The Condoms, Suicide Squad to name two. Are they still going at all? Absolutely loved banger racing and I just wish it would get the same coverage as any other motorsport does on TV. Just heard in the documentary that the Suicide Squad disbanded a while back. So, that answered my question.
