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.

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.
MESSAGE FROM CAMSO - 20.05.2009
NEW FACES IN THE LATE MODEL SERIES: Winston Graham bought the ex Camso V8 from Jimmy Bryan. Sam Collins is a well known reporter in the UK Kelvin Hassell, always unvoluntary involved in an accident, will race now with number 13. More luck ?? National Hot Rodder David Brooks will start now with the #77 Tony Roots car; last meeting, Paul Poulter was very impressive with this car. Keith Whallet, ex Legends, bought the Ascar from Martin Heath. It will be the first Ascar that will have the specifications for a short oval; specifications given by the car builder, Chas Howe. There is a chance that Glenn Burtenshaw will also start, but that will be decided on Thursday. Once again 16 cars on the 3/8 banked oval at Warneton. Note that the following usual Belgian drivers, Kurt Dujardijn and Anton Gonnissen (both in the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring on a Aston Martin) and Kristof Vandekerckhove (family meeting) will not start. That means that in one of the next meetings, we could have 20+ cars.

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
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 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. Hi res images available on request

13.10.2008: Due to technical problems, we do have very few Banger pictures from 12.10 29.09.2008: Due to noise during the night (racing on the track at midnight) the English red Ford Capri A 868 RFM + Ford Tourneo R 182 AVM will no more be allowed to stay overnight at Warneton on a Saturday night. ON SATURDAY NIGHT, THE GATE OF WARNETON SPEEDWAY WILL BE CLOSED AT 11.00pm. AFTER THAT, IT IS NO MORE POSSIBLE TO COME IN OR TO GO OUT.
OVERNIGHT STAY AT WARNETON ON SEPTEMBER 6th.
As we mentionned in the past, there were spectators at Warneton for the september meeting, last year, who were pleased to destroy part of the corn field from the farmer next door. Since then, the farmer doesnot want to have people anymore for overnight stay, on his property. There are no other places in the neighbourhood, where we can place people for camping. Therefore, everybody has to stay on the speedway. Normally this is no problem, but this year, we have 84 drivers booked in for the European championship; that is nearly the maximum we can allow at Warneton, due to limited room in the pitts. For having enough space for the Bangers, we already cancelled the races for the Camso Hot Rods. The question now is: Where shall the spectators, which arrive at Saturday,take place for overnite? In the past, we did not have any problem with 95% of the spectators; they left the speedway at 8.00am on Sunday morning, so that the drivers could take their place. But there are always people, who think they are not concerned and who think they can do what they want, and others who only wake up at 9.30am - 10.00am. We discussed that problem with the Banger managers. We also know that it is nicier to stay together with friends/drivers, but for us it is more important that all the drivers have room inside. THEREFORE ALL SPECTATORS WILL HAVE TO OVERNIGHT IN THE PITLANE AND ON THE RACETRACK. We do not make ANY exception. On Sunday everybody will have to leave his place and park outside at 8.00am. So we are sure that the 5% who think they are not concerned or who wake up much later, do not occupy space for the Banger drivers. We hope you will understand our decision; keep in mind that on most of the English tracks, you even cannot go inside on Saturday. We also ask that all the spectators that overnight on the track and in the pitlane, do not throw around their rubbish, cans or beer bottles, so that the races can start on Sunday without any delay. If we have delay, we will have to cancel some races to be able to finish the meeting at 6.00pm
