    i can understand using novas for rods, one of my mates does it, looks like awsome fun!

    but that cav is a banger, hence the extra protetion on the door, poor thing

    they are hotrods, basically the same as banger racing but your not allowed to purposely make contact, that's why the engine is tuned and bodywork is fabricated to be lighter etc, the blue one looks to be a higher class than the red one though.

    The cav is being used for banger racing, rules dictate that you have to have a minimum 10MM thick steel plate covering the door, although i would imagine it isn't the banger racing where people just crash into each other all the time since the builder would have thought to take the bumpers etc off

    Edd, Nascar racing is oval?

    As said, Rods are not built to take hits like bangers, they are built for speed. Alot of fabrication goes into them so they don't want to smash them up at the first meet.

    I do autograss, in no way is it banger racing! often rotten cars are given a new lease of life...! The amount of effort people put into there cars you can't call it banger racing, i didn't realise people spent up to twenty grand on bangers? and that banger racing was actually a non contact sport like autograss... yes sometimes people crash or break there cars but the same happens in f1 and pretty much any other motorsport.

    I'll use the above as an example.... nova saloon running s2000 engine and running gear! is it just me thinking that distinctly does not look like a banger??

    Off topic - I did my PA1 + PA6 the other week as I do a similar job. Is that through the council?

    No a private company called Languard, we get contracted in by the councils.
