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

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
parked car. Driving like in the Bangers is forbidden. A FOLLOW-IN TILL

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
