CAMSO NOTICE REGARDING THE LICENCE –
20.09.2022
In our previous post, we mentioned that we would be consult a law firm
to appeal the City Council's decision NOT to grant Camso an operating
license, following a negative report from the DPA in Mons.
The law firm advised us NOT to appeal for the following reasons:
- This procedure also takes at least 3 months
- We only had 20 days to appeal. In this very short time, we should
have properly substantiated all our arguments on the various negative
points of the DPA. That was almost impossible.
- It remains that the problem of the very old municipal road from the
1700s, which runs through the site and has not been used for at least
60 years, has not yet been removed from the official Atlas
- It remains that the final report on the soil investigation had not
yet been approved by the Walloon government at that time.
All these points would more than likely have resulted in a further negative
result on appeal to the Minister.
The law firm advised us to first solve the following problems:
- Have deleted the old road from the official Maps. This procedure is
now being prepared and will be launched shortly.
- The soil investigation does have a POSITIVE outcome. After 1 ½
years we finally received confirmation that the soil investigation,
which cost about 70,000 € (400 pages thick), was accepted and approved.
The only thing we have to do by August 2023 at the latest is to put
a layer of 50 cm of good soil on top of the wall where the spectators
stay (cost about 20.000 €)
Then we will submit a new, well-prepared, application to the DPA in
Mons, with answers and proposals on all points, which the DPA initially
assessed as negative.
This will of course take time and as previously announced there will
certainly be no organizations before March/April next year (2023).
OFFICIAL
MESSAGE FROM CAMSO - 28.08.2022
Traduction via Google Translate.
The permit to continue operating the speedway circuit in Warneton was
refused by the Municipality, after the DPA (department for permits and
applications) in Mons formulated a strongly negative advice.
It is important to note that during the procedure, and at the request
of the DPA, the Municipality did give a positive advice for the continued
existence of the circuit.
Of the 23 different opinions requested by the DPA, only 3 were ultimately
negative.
2 were positive without restriction, 7 did not answer or did not answer
on time, which is considered positive, 11 were positive, subject to
conditions (e.g. better exhausts etc.)
If we read the 72 page file of the DPA carefully, there are several
errors in it (including that there is no parking for spectators, etc.).
The importance of the proximity of a Natura 2000 area is also pointed
out, but we ourselves received an e-mail from Natura 2000 in 2019, that
this area (opposite the circuit) is not ecologically important, but
is only a transition zone.
The DPA's three main objections concern:
a/ the fact that the Walloon government has not yet issued an official
soil certificate, it is not yet possible to make a good estimate of
the site.
The study of the M-Tech bureau has ended and we are now waiting for
the certificate. The study concludes that the pollution is historical,
but that no soil remediation is necessary, except that a 50 cm thick
layer of good soil must be placed on the verge. I think that soil certificate
should be issued within 60 days.
b/ There is still a municipal road, dating from the 1800s, which crosses
the circuit, but has not been used for at least 70 years. This road
no longer exists legally and de facto, but must first be deleted from
the Atlas of Municipal Roads. That could take a few months.
c/ The study of water infiltration into the soil has not been fully
assessed. There is no connection to the public sewerage system, as it
is 600m away. So we should build a small purification station. This
will be further elaborated.
It seems to me that these points are NOT insurmountable.
That is why we have an appointment with a law firm early next week to
see whether the appeal has a good chance of success. The appeal process
will take, I believe, two months.
If the appeal is negative, we can submit a new application, this time
with answers to the comments of the DPA.
CONCRETE this means that we will certainly not have any organizations
before March/April next year, unless we are proved right on appeal.
What happens if everything else ends negatively: Then this means the
final end of the speedway in Warneton. Then we still have the option
of selling the site (industrial area), either in one lot or in six lots
of 5,000m² each, for small industry, which does not require an
operating permit, but only a notification obligation (category 3); turn
it into a solar panel park or see if the site could not be useful for
Fedasil (reception of migrants).
However, we continue to fight for the preservation of the speedway.
Hope is the last thing that dies.

IMPORTANT
MESSAGE: VIA PASS IN BELGIUM
Since May 1th 2016, all vans and lorry’s (over
3,5T) must pay for using the motorways. This is NOT for motorhomes or
campers over 3,5T. It is the weight of the first vehicle that counts.
If you have a van from UNDER 3,5T with a trailer, you must NOT pay.
Info on www.viapass.be.
You have to rent a special box at the Belgian boarder and pay by credit
card.
VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW FOR ENGLISH DRIVERS is that you also has to pay
for the small part of motorway, near the Warneton track, (around 5 miles
from Comines till the French boarder). A ticket is very expensive (1.000€
to pay immediately).
So, we suggest to the English drivers to avoid that small part of motorway
and use the normal road. On the motorway from Dunkerque till Lille,
You can go via Ypres and the normal road to Warneton or take the exit
Chapelle d’Armentières and then through the normal streets (no
motorway) till the circuit.

It is with great sadness that
we have to announce you that Ela, wife of Uwe Wingerath, Banger official,
passed away. She helped the organisation during more than 10 years.
TO ALL THE V8 DRIVERS – 19.04.2013
It is with great pleasure, that we can announce you that the Lydden
Hill meeting on 15 + 16.06 will be run by Camso.
ALL the V8 cars which comply to the Camso V8 rules and to the LMV8S’
rules are allowed.
All the drivers will need a Camso licence (30€ / year).
There will be each day (Saturday and Sunday) 2 heats and a final. Each
day, there will be 3 trophy’s to the first three in the final. Saturday
evening is the truck fest with music and a big barbecue. You can stay
overnight on the track. More information about when you can arrive,
practice, number of laps etc. will follow later.
As usual with Camso, we will try to make the start positions, so that
every driver has a chance to win. They can be changed from one race
to another. All the drivers ( Camso V8 or LMV8S) will be treated on
an equal way. It is not sure, that I will be there for that weekend.
If not, Xavier will be the man you need for all information or problem.
If Xavier is racing himself that weekend, Kevin Stickley, from Spedeworth,
will do race control.
VERY IMPORTANT: TYRES.
From that meeting on, and for all the next meetings organized by Camso
in 2013, ONLY the American Racer Tyres, delivered by Vince O’Connor,
and made especially for Camso, since 10 years, are allowed. Tony Roots
found, years ago, that this tyre represented the best value in respect
to cost and life . During 10 years, they were perfect. We will keep
it like that. By only allowing that tyre, we are sure that all drivers
has the same tyres (bar code will be controlled) and the same chances
to win.
This tyre has the following reference: 27.0/10-15S-4EC.84 DLR.
You can order the tyres by Vince O’Connor: Tel 00.44.7877 529393 or
e-mail: dunton18751@aol.com
Gary Ellis can bring them to Warneton, Venray or directly to Lydden
Hill.
Hoping to have a great field of cars and everyone enjoying their race.
Roland Vandermeersch
It is with great sadness that
we have to annouce that Bruce Andrews (USA), co-founder from the Camso
V8, and Geert Bulcaen (B) Bangerstox driver , passad away.
VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE CONCERNING
CAMSO V8/LATE MODEL TYRES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just received an email from Vince O’Connor from the UK.
He is the OFFICIAL distributor in Europe for the American Racing tires,
that are used by the V8’s.
Vince emailed me that begin last year, an order of 150 such tires were
supplied, but that order was finally brought down to only 30. He still
has 120 tires in the USA, that are on “back order”.
Vince O’Connor emailed me that some drivers at Venray ordered the American
Tires directly in the USA at an American distributor. He controlled
some of these tires at Venray AND THEY WERE A MUCH SOFTER COMPOUND THAN
THOSE ALLOWED !!!! It is possible that these tires were also used at
Warneton, we do not know, there was no control. But that will change.
That is cheating, and you know our position on cheating: if you have
to cheat to win, you are a very poor guy and we have no respect at all
for these people.
THE ONLY TYRE ALLOWED IS THE 27.0/10-15S-4EC-84 DLR. So please, if you
buy tires from someone, verify the numbers on the tire. The driver only
is responsible of his tires. We will control the “shore” of different
cars during a meeting.
Vince O’Connor, which is racing at Warneton in the Sprint Cars, on Easter
weekend, will have 11 new tyres with him. As said, he has 120 more in
back order in the States. If you want more tires, please order them
directly by Vince at Warneton. Or Camso can be the intermediate., but
Camso will not buy nor sell tires. Note, that it will take several weeks,
before they will be in Europe. I suppose Vince will only place one order
this year, otherwise, the shipping cost will be too high for only a
couple of tires.
If you have any suggestion, we are, of course, prepared to listen to
the drivers.
I remember some discussions with late Tony Roots and we agreed not to
use softer tires than those we use now since a couple of years, because
softer tires = faster worn out = more expensive = faster on the track
= more damage in case of an accident. And we just want to keep the formula
as affordable as possible.
Roland Vandermeersch.
PS. I and probably you as well just received an email from Chris Roots,
that tyres are still available. Price 89€. Order before Thuesday. I
have no clue how much are available.
TO THE LATE MODEL DRIVERS – 22.03.2013
As you all probably know, there is, for different reasons, but specially
the work of different people against Warneton – they will no more be
allowed at Warneton, not as driver, not as mechanic, not as spectator
-, a split between ELMS and Camso.
But live is going on. And V8 racing at Warneton is still alive, and
it will improve. Some (3) regular Camso drivers are unable to race that
weekend and for the future meetings, 2 more cars will be rented to different
drivers.
On Eastern Sunday and on Eastern Monday, we will have 2 heats (25 laps)
and a final of 35 laps. The startgrid for this meeting and for the other
meetings at Warneton, will be in function of the “speed” of the driver/car
and only partially in function of the positions in the Camso championship.
For the future meetings, priority will be given to the regular Camso
drivers. The “occasional” drivers will have to start at the back of
the field.
The Camso championship will be held over the 6 meetings at Warneton.
Nevertheless, if enough drivers are interested, we can add 1 or 2 additional
meetings for the V8’s ( eventually 21.04 and/or 09.06). Keep me informed
about this. The points in the heats and the final are the same (from
15 till 1). The leader, halfway the race (lap 12 in case of a 25 lap
race), receives 5 bonus points. If you receives a black cross for pushing
or not keeping your line, you will receive 5 points less; in case of
a black flag for pushing or not keeping the line, minus 10 points.
We insist to have the bookings by e-mail for Tuesday evening. Drivers,
that book in later, or come at race day will have to start at the back
of the field (exception can be made in special circumstances – for example:
a driver which rent a car at the last moment).
At the moment, the weather forecast for the Eastern weekend is cold
and maybe a shower on Sunday. We remember that in about 80 meetings
we had since the beginning of the V8’s, there was only 1 raceday we
could not race at all, because of continuous rain from the morning till
the evening. On different other days, when we had showers, we could
always do minimum 2 races.
A car can be controlled if Camso thinks that the car is illegal. If
a car is illegal, a one year ban in the formula at Warneton will follow.
Cheating with “dipping” tyres, results in a one year ban.
VERY IMPORTANT: TYRES
- 4 new tyres are allowed at the first meeting at Warneton. The driver
can take over 4 used tyres from last year. At every other meeting, one
new tyre is allowed, as far as the driver finished at least 2 races
on that day. That means that you can use 4 new tyres on Eastern Sunday
+ 1 new tyre on Eastern Monday.
- The drivers can buy their tyres where they want (for information where
you can have them, call Wim Moonen or Patrick Denbiggelaar)
- Only tyres with the CAMSO stamp and colour are allowed.
- During practice, the tyres you use are free (must not be stamped)
- The tyres will be stamped on Saturday afternoon, after practice and
for the drivers which come on Sunday, it will be done 15’ after the
start of the meeting. The tyres will be stamped and the racenumber will
be put on the tyre in a mixed paint colour. You can only use tyres with
your own race number. For cars which are for hire, the race number of
the to hire car will be painted. If anyone is cheating with the stamp
or with the paint on the tyre, a one year ban follows.
See You at Easter in Warneton

IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT
WE HAVE TO ANNOUNCE YOU THAT TONY ROOTS PASSED AWAY.
Her under the message we received
today from the European Late Models board of control.
Dear Competitor,
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that today (Wednesday
18th May 2011) Tony lost his fight against Cancer and passed away peacefully
at his surrey home.
Tony raced on oval tracks in England, Belgium & Holland for 37
years! Raced Superstox, Stock & Super Rods winning major championships
and point’s titles in all those formulae.
In recent years he raced Legends & F2 Stock Cars before joining
CAMSO V8 and later, setting up the European Late Model Series. Tony
will be greatly missed by us all.
Obviously this is a very difficult time for Tony’s family and I am
sure your prayers go out to them.
Those of you wishing to send your condolences, simply send an email
to: info@latemodel.eu I will compile your thoughts and pass them on
at a more suitable time.
Rest in peace Tony … God Bless

BANGERSTOX/PRIVE CARS 16 VALVES
- 03.02.2010
A demand has been introduced to
use the following cars in Bangerstox:
Nissan Primera 1,6 - 16V - 96HP
Honda Concerto 1,6 - 16V - 106HP
BOTH cars are NOT ALLOWED in Prive
Cars, nor in Bangerstox (more than 90HP standard)
RULEBOOK FOR THE BANGERSTOX -
23.01.2010
As we have more and more English
drivers, which want to race with the Bangerstox, we tried to translate
the rulebook. Sorry for the faults, but we hope you will understand
it. We would, of course, appreciate if someone could translate it in
"correct" English.
BANGERSTOX .
Are almost the same cars, which are used in the Prive Car class, but
with light contact allowed. Light contact means that another car may
be pushed around - ONLY to the INSIDE - or that another car may be pushed
in the back to make the way free to pass.. It is not allowed to continu
to push till the other car is in the wall or to drive at speed on a

these may only be black numbers on a white background and must have
the same size as the CAMSO numbers; they may not be painted with a spray.
The door numbers may also be fitted on the backdoor.
The startgrid is the same system as in the Prive Cars; the distance
between the different groups can be reduced, if not enough cars at the

scrutineering will take place till 15 minutes before the start of the
meeting. The scrutineering will be held on the track near the start
line. If the car has not passed scrutineering, the driver will be able
to start at the race.
VERY IMPORTANT: CHEATING IS SANCTIONNED WITH A LIFE BAN IN THE FORMULA.
In 2009, we have banned for life 2 drivers for cheating (one for other
shock absorbers and the other one for a “tuned” engine).
It must be finished with fitting a gear box from another type or model;
with fitting thicker oil in the shock absorbers; fitting other inlet
or outlet manifolds; fixing the back axle or fitting negative angle
on the wheels; fitting other carburettors, driving an engine with a
higher compression ratio than standard etc.
All that is NOT standard. Standard means as the car has been delivered
from the factory. If you have any doubt if something is allowed or not,
please ask Camso Abefore.
We do not accept that some cheaters destroy the pleasure of 95% of the
Bangerstox drivers which race just for fun.

CAMSO EXPAND HIS ACTIVITIES – 05.08.2009
The last years, the Historic Rallys are booming, especially in Belgium,
Germany, United Kingdom, Spain and Italy. Therefore, Camso decided to
buy a Ford escort Mk2 Group 4 BDG (alu bloc) with 270HP, for renting
the car.
This car is completely new rebuilt by Mark Solloway with new engine,
new ZF gearbox and new Atlas rear axle.
This car is FIA homologated and has the FIA pass. It is built exactly
like the factory Escorts from end of the seventies.
The actual leader in the World Championship Rally WRC, Mikko Hirvonen
(Finland) has taken possession from exact the same car, a couple of
weeks ago.
If everything goes well, the car will be delivered on September 7th
and will do his first rally at the Tour of Flandres in Roeselare on
September 11,12 and 13.

EUROPEAN LATE MODELS ON MOTORS
TV – 02.04.2009
Tony Roots has found the funds for the first 4 meetings of the European
Late Model Series; the report of 30 minutes will show the races at Warneton
and driver interviews.
Roots Racing is looking for more sponsors to cover the remaining 8 races.
During the Eastern weekend (races on Sunday and Monday) an English TV
Team will come over to Warneton to film the event.
On Eastern, there will probably be 18 cars; on Eastern Monday Camso
expect 20 (Kurt Dujardijn and Anton Gonnissen only race on Monday. Finally
Tony Roots #77 will not be able to race (too short after an operation);
he is looking for another driver on his car.
23rd February 2009
Dear Camso V8 Driver,
In an effort to secure the future of CAMSO V8’s we felt that action
needed to be taken to inject new interest in the formula.
Please find attached a press release which has gone out to 12 UK &
8 USA Motorsport publications. By the end of this week an updated press
release will go to mainland Europe publications.
The purpose is to attract new drivers, mainly from the now defunct
ASCAR series but also open to any American Stock Car with certain
limitations.
Also attached is a letter directed to drivers laying out the incentives
to race at Warneton and on the UK tracks.
This Saturday I will unfortunately be missing from the prize giving
as I will be at Ipswich Speedway testing with my V8 and Colin Whites
ASCAR. This is the first step in ensuring the cars are equal in performance.
Colin is of the opinion that their extra 30-50HP is sufficient to overcome
the additional weight they carry of 200kgs. This Saturday’s and March
28th test at Warneton will confirm (or otherwise) this.
Roland VDM & Dean Wood from Spedeworth UK are supporting this incentive
and we are hoping for your continued support to make this a success.
Best Regards
Tony Roots

AMERICAN STOCK CAR CHAMPIONSHIP
TO HIT EUROPE
Media information: 22 February 2009
An all new North American stockcar series is to run in Europe this
year. The new oval-based Late Model Series is set to launch in the coming
weeks.
The championship is the result of talks between established Belgian
stock car promoter CAMSO, Spedeworth International Ltd. and the SCSA
V8 Trophy. Open to any North American stock car with a wheelbase of
104-105 inches, the championship will follow performance-equalising
guidelines to allow former ASCARs to race alongside CAMSO V8s.
Fourteen rounds are already confirmed; ten will take place in Belgium,
with a further four in the UK. Racing will kick-off with a double-header
on 12-13 April at Warneton International Speedway, Belgium.
Eighteen cars and drivers have already been confirmed, including British
CAMSO V8 driver Kelvin Hassell. “This is an incredible new initiative,
and I’m very excited to be a part of it,” said Hassell. “There is a
good, solid fan base for American-style stock cars in Europe and the
championship is set to be extremely popular. Its also a really good
way to get into the American NASCAR series and ASA, as we use identical
cars.
“We have the dates, the finance and a strong grid of cars, now we are
just waiting to see who else would like to come and take part.”
Teams and drivers entering the championship are set to benefit from
prize money, free entries and a limited amount of free tyres. Negotiations
are also underway for TV coverage in mainland Europe and the UK.
Notes to editors
Launch information will be issued in a weeks time along with a full
calendar and Team/Driver information

WORLD CUP F1 + F2 STOCK CARS at
WARNETON on 16 + 17.08
SMC Venray has rent Warneton Speedway
to organise the World Cup 2008 Formule 1 and formule 2 Stock Cars. The
organisation is entirely done by SMC Venray. Camso has no involvment
in it.
The races are Saturday from 2.00pm
till 6.00pm (no permission for racing later) and on Sunday from 10.30am
till 6.00pm.
At the moment 40 F1 Stock Cars
are booked in and it seems there will be between 50 and 60 F2's. Warneton
is at only 1 hour driving from Calais - ferry Dover Calais around 75
mintues - and is, with his high banking, one of the fastest short ovals
in Europe and the UK. For the way from Calais to Warneton, see on our
website.
The Camso laptop computer has
been stolen, 2 weeks ago, and we did not have any backup. Sorry if we
did not answer to some e-mails.

JEAN VASSEUR (France) Champion
2007 in the Camso V8 Formula.
After having seen the video tape
of the second heat at Warneton, on 13/10/2007, the race jury decided
that the penalty (1 place back + 5 points in the championship) given
to Jean Vasseur, was a wrong decision.
That means that Jean Vasseur (#007)
is the Champion 2007 with 2 points advance on Gary Ellis (#95)
