Unlimtied Banger Pre 85

Many of the stars of June’s awesome Heinegone meeting return for the second annual ‘Big Reunion’ where the restriction to pre-1985 cars ensures a varied field of classic machinery. By that we mean ‘classic’ in the traditional sense and in the Banger Racing sense, as large numbers of Granadas and Volvos will supplement the older machinery and ensure an action-packed night on track.

 

791 Nicky "Spud" Young impressed at the Heinegone meeting back in June and will be back in action on Saturday.

Trackstar World Champion 390 David Gibson and World of Shale Champion 148 Ian Redden head the entry list but they won’t be the only ones with gold on their roofs. Autospeed World Champion 239 Steve Carter makes a rare visit to Norfolk (along with his DWO superstar team-mates 190 Steve Bailey, 341 Andy Jones and 714 Paul Smaldon) and tarmac Two-Litre World Champion 82 Tom Foster will also be inaction.

Be it racing or wrecking 148 Ian "Shorty" Redden always impresses at King's Lynn 

Other local stars include 22 Dave Vincent, who won the Heinegone final, and 338 Terry Garrod, the national points champion. They are joined by 160 Shayn Winsor and 247 Lee Clarke, two of the most highly rated drivers around the track, and top hometown racer 673 Darren Fendley.

Trackstar National Points Champion 338 Terr Garrod always buts ina  great performance! 

After delighting the crowd with his glorious Yank at Heinegone, 331 Jason Jackson is another who makes a quick return, and similar can be said for 388 Steve McGrath, who once again makes the journey from Ireland. 262 Rob Bugler is this time joined by brother 252 Steve Bugler. 388 Taylor Sowter, 632 Callum Read, 739 Jason Moore and 884 Tom Filmer all also make return journeys having starred at Heinegone.

388 Taylor Sowter and his ever present attendance record at Lynn Unlimiteds in 2015 together with his never say die attitude have been a big highlight of the Lynn Unlimtieds this year! 

Entries from the Predators, the Mad Hatters and the Shunters continue a superb-looking list (of which we have only scratched the surface with these words) for what looks set to be another night not to be missed.

2L Stock Cars 

The Saloons will have qualifying heats on Saturday night ahead of their main event on Sunday afternoon, with another huge entry of cars set to continue what has been a fantastic season for the formula. This championship has never had 50 cars in the past - the highest turnout has been 48 cars so to have 59 cars booked in for action this weekend gives an indication of the great state of the formula.

 

2L Stock Car Races are always action packed!!

Champions come in the shape of World Champion 499 David Aldous, English Champion 304 Martyn Parker – who recently added the East Anglian title to his honours – and 428 Lee Sampson, who will get to show off the black-and-white checks on his roof for the first time at his local track since reclaiming the title in June. Aldous has made Lynn his own over the past decade but has yet to win a race at the Adrian Flux Arena in 2015 - don't bet against him taking the chequered flag this weekend though!

Expect a strong showing from World Champion 499 David Aldous

Former champions include 219 Luke Grief, 306 Daniel Parker, 360 Carl Waterfield and 512 Darren Barnett, while we also welcome British Under-25 title holder 698 Danny Colliver and his main challenger for this year’s national points crown, 730 Deane Mayes.

730 Deane Mayes has been performing well this year and currently leads the National Points

The likes of 149 Jamie Sampson, 349 Michael Allard, 591 Aaron Morris and 641 Willie Skoyles Jr are all still seeking their first major title in the formula, with each more than capable of breaking their duck this weekend.

641 Willie Skoyles is still chasing his first major title in the sport after coming very close on several occasions

Travelling interest comes from 811 Kieran McIvor (Ireland), and 85 Kyle Irvine, 600 Barry Russell and 670 Ross Watters (all Scotland).

Joining the huge number of other locals on track – many of whom are more than capable of causing an upset – are returnee 106 Jamie Stafford, and track debutants 124 Ollie Skeels and 537 Thomas Alsop. Finally, we welcome National Banger superstar 997 Wayne Cottrill Jr, who makes his debut in the formula this weekend.

  

Reliant Robins

The crazy three-wheelers complete the Carnival Night programme with a small but perfectly formed entry of entertainers. They include World of Shale Champion 385 Roy Gedge, the National Points Champion 85 James Ellis, who has done most of the winning so far this year, and a relatively rare visit from multi-champion 576 Daniel Douglas.

553 Daniel Douglas and 385 Roy Gedge will be back in action in the Reliant Robins on Saturday 

The rest of the field are perhaps the most likely to get involved in the mad antics that this formula is renowned for, 185 Ben Oliver, 379 Peter Graham, 490 Lee Barnard and 664 Ryan Sutcliffe in particular being well-known entertainers on track who are likely to spend plenty of time on their roofs or sides, and shedding plastic body work.

Expect Perrenial entertainer 379 Peter Graham to be involved in the thick of the action on Saturday!

 

 Free Fairground Rides for the Kids

The popular "cups and saucers" will be free for kids to go on on Saturday night

There will be a couple of free fairground rides at King's Lynn to help ensure that they have plenty to do before the meeting and between races. The good news for mum and dad is that going on the rides are all free!
