Meeting Reports
All Cavalier, Carina, Corolla, Calibra, Bluebird and Primera Bangers – 18/08/2018 – King’s Lynn
The Saloon Stock Cars World Championship was the main attraction at Kings Lynn’s Adrian Flux Arena on Saturday 18th August, however, Trackstar’s decision to do a little throwback meeting for the 2l National Bangers, specifically for cars of around 15 years ago before the Mondeo domination kicked in – the cars of choice were the Nissan Bluebird & Primera, Toyota Carina & Corolla and Vauxhall Cavalier & Calibra. This proved to be a popular option with 81 cars gathering in the pits on a sunny afternoon. Plenty of drivers had made the effort with nearly all of the cars being fresh motors. 137 Jay Barrett had one of the meetings’ top cars with a Mk2 Vauxhall Cavalier whilst Mad Hatter pairing 390 David Gibson and 399 Jonny Atkins had a duet of Toyota Carina Estates. Thank you to the multiple drivers that displayed ‘Caged!’ on their cars – 41 Looney Lee, 116 No Luck Nat, 178 Slim, 182 Tingle, 277 Sideshow, 292 Harold, 315 Webby, 440 Lemon, 441 Hitman Horwood, 495 Tyrone, 622 Stuie (apologies to anybody we may have missed!)
