Payments should arrive at Camso,at last MONDAY EVENING 20u00 before
the meeting or at least six days befor the meeting, if the meeting is
in the week. There is NO prize money, nor in cash nor in prices, and
there is no free ticket for a mechanic. There is a championship held
in Warneton called: Warneton Bangerstox Championship.
All points of the Prive Car regulations are also applicable here.
Repair to the body/carrosserie is allowed, if it is done done with
the same material and same thickness as standard. In any case, the repairs
may not be considered as reinforcement.
INSPECTION: Each driver has to pass scrutineering before racing. This
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 not be
able to start at the race.
VERY IMPORTANT: CHEATING IS SANCTIONNED WITH A LIFE BAN IN THE FORMULA.
Previously 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 before.
We do not accept that some cheaters destroy the pleasure of 95% of the
Bangerstox drivers which race just for fun.

EUROPEAN LATE MODEL DESCRIPTION - (22/02/2007)
American-style of racing in
Belgium
450 HP – 905kg
– around 28.500 €
“
The driver has to make the difference, not the car “
After Rockingham, 1,5km oval in
England
, opened in 2000 and the Eurospeedway in the Lausitzring,
Germany
, also opened in 2000, Warneton in
Belgium
is the third oval track in
Europe
, where Nascar-like cars can race.
A/
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRACK:
The oval of Warneton, existing since 1980, was
completely rebuilt in the winter 2002 – 2003 to make it suitable for the
Camso V-8 formula.
During the first 2 weeks of September 2002, we
visited 7 different ¼ mile paved (asphalt) ovals in
California
(
USA
), where the “Super late models” = nearly identical to the Camso V 8,
are racing.
We also were very critical and could not imagine
that such a big cars with so much horsepower could race on such a small
track.
What we have seen at Stockton 99 convinced us
absolutely. When the track is well build (there must be 2 “grooves” so
that the cars can race one alongside each other) and there is a strict
discipline amongst the drivers, you can have fantastic close racing.
The track, Stockton 99, where we have seen races is
nearly identical from structure to the Warneton track; we have seen there
the following formulas:
-
Super
Late Models: nearly the same cars as the ASA series. 20 cars at
the start (the maximum allowed on this track) for 100!! laps. Fastest lap
time: 12,912 sec. Sensational race who was, in our opinion, more
interesting than the Winston Cup races in
Richmond
,
Va
, we have seen the week before. After 34 laps (the first caution) no car
was lapped!
-
Late
Models = Camso V 8: 14 cars for 30 laps. Fastest lap
time: 13,123sec. One of the heats with only 7 cars had nearly each lap
another leader.
-
Grand
American Modifieds: a mixture between Midgets and
Formula 2 Stock Cars, but contact of course not allowed. About 500 HP.
Fastest lap time: 12,965sec
-
Legends:
well known in
England
. Fastest lap time: 16,521sec
-
Pure
Stox:
American street
cars. Fastest lap time: 17,049sec
Warneton is 430m long (in stead of 400m before).
The straights are respectively 15m (
45 feet
) and 17m (
51 feet
) wide and have a banking of about 4 degrees; this means a difference of
high of about 1m (
3 feet
) between the inside and the outside.
The turns are 18m =
54 feet
wide and the banking is about 10 degrees (2m80 = about
9 feet
difference between the inside and the outside).
On the outside there is a concrete wall 1m10 (
4 feet
) high and on the inside 0,80m (
3 feet
) high, with 3m =
9 feet
high fence and
3,5 kilometres
steel cables. The pit lane is 10m =
33 feet
wide.
A complete new grandstand with about 2.000 seats
(who will be covered later) has been built between the cafeteria and the
existing grandstand. In the near future a bigger one with race control
will replace the old covered grandstand, with pressroom
and a VIP room on top. This will bring the capacity of Warneton Speedway
to 8.000 spectators.
The whole infield is asphalted and is used as added
car park. In the infield 17 garage boxes (6m x 4m) are built, which can be
used by the Camso V8 cars.
There is also a completely equipped workshop, where
new cars can be built or where cars can be repaired.
B/
VISION of the CAMSO V-8 formula.
The Camso organizers are convinced that racing on
oval tracks in
Europe
will take an even more important place in the auto-racing-world for the
following reasons:
-
the spectators can see the entire
track;
-
the spectators can follow the
races in comfortable conditions; the existing covered grandstand and the
planned new grandstand will provide about 3500 seats.
-
Due to the structure and the
width of the track, passing during the races is commonplace; especially as
the organizer wants to keep the cars as equal as possible.
-
Watching races with the noise of
thundering American V-8 engines is a sensation in his own;
-
By racing on ovals, there is a
familiar and friendly atmosphere; the pits has to be accessible for the
public at no cost and there has to be a direct contact with the drivers;
-
The spectators are very close to
the action; on oval tracks, the spectators are sitting at about 5m
(15feet) of the track, so there is nearly direct contact with the cars;
Camso find that alongside
Ascar/SCSA formula, there
also must be a formula for the lower budgets, although still
professionally organised and managed. The races of Camso V-8 have another
concept: no long races with changing tyres and fuelling but shorter races
without pit stops.
This formula of racing is low budget for the
following reasons: no big crew for the pit-stops, the car parts like
engine, transmission, brakes and tyres are less stressed because the races
are shorter (100 laps, about
40 km
or
25 miles
per race day); the engines are not high-tuned, so that the duration of
these engines are much longer. End 2006, the first Camso V8 engine in the
#41 car was used 4 years and did approximately 4.000 laps at Warneton,
without any mechanical failure; the only mechanical intervention was
changing regularly the oil filter and the oil.
There are 12 meetings a year for this formula at
Warneton. There is no racing for this cars on a wet track. Therefore, with
changing weather conditions, the order of races may be changed: that means
that 2 or 3 races can be held shortly after each other (for example: 3
races around midday if the forecast calls for rain in the afternoon or
race later in the afternoon if it is raining in the morning and it is
clearing up in the afternoon). In 4 years and 48 meetings, we always could
do minimum 2 races a day.
C/
DESCRIPTION of the CAMSO V-8 Formula:
The cars can be built by the Roots V8 Racing Team
and can be bought through them; there are always new and second hand cars
for sale.
The drivers can also buy all the parts at Roots V8
Racing Team and built the car themselves together.
All the cars have the same characteristics. The
driver may change nothing except the setting of the suspension (sanction
in case of non-conformity: suspension for 1 year + monetary fine). The
engines will be sealed and can only be opened by Camso, in case of
problems. The drivers can choose between 3 differential ratios. Neither
the placement of the engine nor the mounting points of the suspension may
be changed. No changes at the carburettor are allowed. All the cars will
use the same type of tires with the same compound (has to be stamped by
Camso).

2°
Speed:
The best lap time till now was 13,0 sec (hand
stopped) by Gary Ellis. That means an average speed of about 115km/h
(72mph) and a top speed of about 150km/h (93mph). As drivers in the
USA
told us, it is much more “hectic” and physical to race on a small oval
and the reactions has to be much faster than on big ovals. Compared to a
small oval, racing on a big track is like racing in slow motion, they told
us.
3°
Publicity on the car:
-
on the upside of the front
windshield, a strip of 20cm (

It is possible to rent a
Camso V8 for one meeting, more meetings or a whole season, through the
Roots V8 Racing Team.
Each driver will have to
realise a minimum lap time of 15,00 sec (electronically measured)..
F/ CONCLUSIONS AFTER NEARLY
4 SEASONS:
-
Before each race, about 10 warming up laps are
necessary.
-
The first 4 Camso V8 had no power steering. The
experience we have is that without power steering the maximum physically
possible are 30 or 35 laps (very hard on the arms). Therefore power
steering is highly recommended.
-
The Camso V8 is the fastest formula at Warneton; about
0,4 sec pro lap faster than the National Hot Rods.
-
The races we had, learned us that we could have
fantastic racing if there is a strict discipline between the drivers.
There is a white line painted on the track; the driver who races below
these line has to stay there if he battles with another driver; he cannot
use the whole width of the track. This to avoid contact between cars and
to give the opportunity to the driver who races outside to pass. Camso
will be absolutely strict on that point and “kamikaze” drivers will be
banned for racing in that formula.
-
Rookie
test: it is not so easy to go fast on a short track with those power
full engines. Therefore a Rookie test is necessary for all the potential
Camso V8 drivers.
