Following the Banger meeting at Hednesford Hills Raceway yesterday (Sunday 14th October 2012) it was noted by the scrutineers that there were several banger drivers using ‘daggy’ bars to secure the bonnets of their cars.

I would like to remind all drivers that ‘daggy’ bars are permitted reference the Banger construction rules for Incarace/Spedeworth BUT must be to a maximum size as stated below:-

Bonnets may be removable but must be securely fixed front and back with bonnet locking pins of some form. If bolts are used a maximum thread size of 16mm, with maximum size of washer 4” or 4”, i.e. NO LARGE BANGER BOLTS BUT SHUTTERING BOLTS (DAGGY BARS) MAYBE USED. No crush tubes allowed. Bolts must go through inner flitch or slam panel i.e. not through chassis. A maximum of 4 bolts may be used.

Triangular corner plates or straps may be used to secure the rear of the bonnet by bolting or welding (1/8”thick). Plates or straps must be placed no further than 12” across or down from the back edge and side of the bonnet. In this case you may only use two bolts at the front.

The next 2 meetings at Incarace are for the Man Of The Midlands Championship with qualifying races at Birmingham on the Saturday 27th October and the Championship race at Hednesford a week later on Sunday 4th November.

All cars MUST be built to Incarace/Spedeworth Banger Rules, Regulations and Specifications.

A complete copy of these can be found via the Incarace website rules page.

We look forward to seeing everybody at either or both meetings and a quick reminder that if you are racing please book-in ASAP via the Incarace website or by contacting 01252 322920.
