Title: Best Place For Banger Racing Near Reading
Post by: sticka_v8_init on 15 June 2012, 12:50:01
Hiya fellas,

As per title, looking for a decent place to take my 7yr old lad to watch banger racing. Ideally within about an hours drive and one that includes a Demolition Derby (if H&S hasn't killed it off). Lots of races, noise etc required.

Any advice as always appreciated in advance.

Cheers :y :y

Might be worth a trip to Tongham Motor Club http://www.tonghammotorclub.co.uk/ (http://www.tonghammotorclub.co.uk/) who, confusingly, meet about a mile away from me in Four Marks. Not sure their fixtures extend to demolition derby but their meets are frequent and normally a good day out if the weather's good.

Never been there myself but Fleet Motor club, again confusingly, appear to meet at Aldermaston. http://www.fleet-motor-club.com/ (http://www.fleet-motor-club.com/)

Try the lakes meet, they sometimes like to razz their old bangers round the roads there. ;D

Your lad is over 6, so get a Ninja cart and let him race.  :y :y :y :y

My Grandson was doing really well until he had a small accident, no injuries and my ex-wife verbally talked him from any further
racing.  >:( >:( >:( He was doing really well, 1 * 1st and 1 * 2nd in his first season, and 1 * 2nd in his second season before he retired. He was very quick, hence the odd accident.

Ahh, good call. Forgot them. Meet over near Rushmoor Arena, IIRC?

 ;D ;D Like it  :y

Grass racing at Tongham sounds like fun..... Aldermaston looks good - As for the Ninja carts  :y :y :y :y :y :y  Going to have a serious look into the cost of this, I'd love it as much as he would and he'd get a few years use out of one kart  :) :)

Cheers fellas  :y :y

Forgot, anyone been to Standlake racing near Oxford??
