Who doesn’t love Classic Car Banger action! It’s our annual classic car night and with a slight tweek to traditional formats’ of Pre1975… we move the age bracket slightly to Pre1980 cars. The decision to change hasn’t been taken lightly, but the increasing scarcity of older cars means that things must move on…. Remember on Saturday, these machines are still going to be 4 decades old at least, some of them up to 70 years old!
The meeting also a celebration of Aaron Keoghan’s 30 years of Banger racing and we were proud to be asked to help Aaron celebrate. He is one of the backbone of the Sport, a great entertainer with the right attitude. Between him and Team Mates The Jokers, they will be bringing a superb line of matching machinery for the occassion.
Drivers really have gone above and beyond for this one; the pick of the bunch will be Mark Lumsden (6) and Nicky Young (791) lining up some stunning machinery, individually they are brilliant, together they will be breath taking. Laura Quadling (419) and Matthew Jode (420) will find it hard to beat their matching Rileys of last year, but they will give a go with something just as impressive. Material man Ross Coleman (476) will be on track; who knows where he keeps finding these things! Dave Sullivan (22) another pick of the bunch with a sublime DS420 limo prepared for action.
We welcome back Martin Brunson (537) too who makes a rare outing, bringing two cars for battle today aswell. Similarly Lee Saunders (349) who makes the long journey up to be with us once again. Aaron's career spans as long as Bruno and Finbaar have been racing and it will be good to see these old skool racers on track.
A strong mix of tin throughout the three classes, we're in for a real treat on Saturday.
Also on the bill will be the 1300 Stock Cars, mid/high 20's are anticipated and they have been fantastic entertainment around King’s Lynn this year. Fast, frantic and highly competitive. There’s not one driver that dominates the class and there provides some very close racing. Expect much of the same tonight with another brilliant 1300 session coming up. Carl Waterfield (600) was the meeting final winner here last time out, he may be one of the favoured runners Saturday. He will be chased hard though by Todd Payne (149) who is also a Final winner here in recent memory, as is Ed Selby (244); it might be quite the tussle between these three. Not to be outdone by Conner Sheldrake (535), he has also been notching up some consistent high finishes too. Sonny Wirght (13) and Darren Smith (83) are quick racers and from yellow may be a dark horse from some silverware. Jack Lower (142) is back following his Double Whammy Heat wins last time out. Daniel Maltby (41) off the White graders may pose a threat too; he was victorious in the Allcomers event last meeting. Riley Shinn (401) also will be a good watch off of White.
Car eligibility and Rules
Trackstar now announce that the fixture on Saturday 6th August will run to a new format for cars from 1980 and prior. The decision to change hasn’t been taken lightly, but the increasing scarcity of older cars means that things must move on. We are also changing the structure of the classes running at the meeting which we believe will make the fixture just as appealing as before to drivers with older or smaller cars. Cars and eligibility rules can be found here: https://www.stockcar-racing.co.uk/content/news/kings-lynn-pre-1980-bangers-sat-6th-august-2022.ashx
Aaron Keoghan 30 year celebration
The meeting also a celebration of Aaron Keoghan’s 30 years of racing and we were proud to be asked to help Aaron celebrate. The Team Simples racer is one of the backbone of the Sport, a great entertainer with the right attitude and we can't wait to celebrate his career with him. He may have cut down his racing in recent years, but Aaron is still a great entertainer on track, he was at King’s Lynn just a few weeks ago and took home a wrecked motor at the now famous Maai testimonial. Aaron loves the classic cars.. just what will him and the team be bringing with them this weekend? Whatever the way his night goes… he will do it with a smile!
