One at a time, each of the Bangers gets up to full speed with the best part of a full lap of the oval circuit and then hit the ramp on the home straight with the aim of producing a spectacular rollover that would make any Hollywood stunt driver green with envy.
The Ramp is quite small and not an easy target to hit when accelerating from a bend. In fact, missing the ramp was the greatest fear of most of the drivers; indeed such a mistake would bring great ridicule amongst one’s peers.
The actual roller is judged on distance, rolls count as 50 points, elevation, and style not to mention the applause of the crowd. Some may think these drivers are completely mad or perhaps they have nerves of steel?
Actually many are quite nervous before entering the circuit but afterward, all are definitely running on pure adrenalin. These mean machines took to the air as they left the ramp and many landed hard on their roof.
But much like a Gladiator arena, it was the roar of the crowd’s approval that made it all worthwhile as well as bragging rights for the winner no 529 Keith Conlon ( his car was the blue and yellow one with Keith Boy written on the side of it). The 27-year old from Essex is a recovery driver by day when not rolling cars.
