Introduction

A busy spell of racing at the Adrian Flux Arena, King’s Lynn, continues on Saturday night (30 September, 5:30pm), with three popular formulas set to entertain the crowd. Micro Bangers – small cars that deliver big-hitting action – contest their biggest event of the year, the UK Championship. They are ably supported by a strong field of 1300cc stock cars, and the annual outing for Unlimited Lady Bangers.

There are currently 102 Micro Bangers, 29 1300 Stock Cars and 19 Unlimited Lady Bangers booked in to race

Please note that any driver who turns up unbooked will not receive any complimentary admissions that they may be entitled to and may also not be allowed to race if the event is still fully booked.

Any Saloon driver looking to book in or cancel should do so through the SSCA Secretary Marion Farrow. Banger  bookings and cancelations can be made on 01553 771111 / 07939 580652.

Drivers please note that the pits open at  2pm and your early arrival will be appreciated. Drivers turning up in the last hour could well find themselves missing their first race. 

 

Micro Bangers

Defending the UK Championship title is 322 Tom Fox, who won in tricky conditions last year. The two men who joined him on the podium last year, the experienced 37 Dave Lewis and 99 Ricky Garrod, have both also qualified once again, and will be aiming to take the next step this year.

Twice past champion 337 Ashley Garrod will hope to become the first man to lift the title three times.

Among the other star names who have already confirmed their places on the grid of the big race are British champion 830 Lee White, Supreme champion 338 Terry Garrod and National Points champion 88 Lyndon Stark, who came close to lifting this title last year too. Former BriSCA F2 superstar 921 Jack Aldridge is another likely contender.

Some of the other big names will have to be successful in the night’s last-chance qualifier if they are to make the UK Championship grid. National Points Championship contender 757 Callum Gill and 2015 world champion 673 Darren Fendley fall into that camp.

There is a surprise entry from 2009 Superstox world champion 60 Ben Marjoram, while commentary duo 25 Matt Black and 974 Alistair Oxby will also take to the track once more, seeking to create havoc.

When it comes to causing chaos, there are plenty more drivers on the booking list who specialise in that.  The likes of 43 Nicky Bishop, 155 Sam Coote and 851 Adam Storr (who have all qualified for the main event), should get stuck in, along with Entertainers’ League contender 514 Charlie Taylor.

Others to watch out for in the crashing stakes include the Mad Hatters’ 247 Jon Bailey, 511 Jack Licquorice and 513 Sean Harvey though, in truth, the white grade is packed full of such characters.

1300cc Stock Cars

Fresh from their World Championship weekend in Scotland, the little stock cars will be using plenty of bumperwork to spice things up. 

At the time of writing, several of the current top dogs in the formula had yet to confirm their intention to race, but with such a large, competitive field racing on a regular basis, it is often the lower grades who pack out the places anyway.

Red tops 422 Martin Taylor and 731 Barry Wade will aim to rack up the points to boost their standings in the National Points Championship.

From nearer the front of the grid, 149 Todd Payne will hope to recapture the form that previously took him to superstar status, after a wretched run of form.

Lady racer 2 Ellie Dawson has proved that she has plenty of pace, if not always the luck to go with it, while 191 Luke Leedell has impressed since debuting his new car.

Making his second appearance in the formula while on the comeback trail, 1990s Banger star 77 Lee Ivatt could be one to watch as he rekindles rivalries with the likes of 276 Stephen Walden and 838 Ady Wales.

 Unlimited Lady Bangers

The ladies only get one opportunity per year to race the big, rear-wheel-drive Unlimited machinery, so they like to make the most of it. We usually see several impressive motors and smartly turned out machines. 

The different formula also gives different ladies a chance to shine. Although the established frontrunners like 3 Danielle Ellis and 477 Amy Brown will lean on their experience and are sure to remain among the pace-setters, there are often several surprise performances on the day too.

We welcome a strong contingent of ladies from the south of England who are coming to enjoy a run in RWD machinery. 41 Sam Bicknell, 401 Jane Filmer and 840 Stacy Fry and 885 Ellie Filmer will have top-notch off-track backing and should entertain with their antics on track.
