Start of summer season at Angmering raceway

THE Great British summertime may turn out be another damp squib, but the racing action is guaranteed to be hot at Angmering raceway (www.ovalraceclub.co.uk) on Sunday March 22 when the Junior Rods, A and B Production, Modified C, Production Stox and Saloon Rod formulas take to power into the West Sussex track's summer season.

The stock car racing stars of the future will be taking to the track in the junior formulas, competing in Minis (engine sized at 1000cc for 10 to 16 year olds) and up to 1200cc cars for those aged 12 to 16.

The adult modified formulas will deliver racing action from a wide range of cars with engine sizes ranging from 1300 to 1600cc and connecting to the track via front or rear wheel drive.

At the top end of the power scale, the Saloon Rods, driven by 1600 and above cc engines will be burning rubber on the demanding Angmering circuit as their drivers push the high-powered cars to the limit on the demanding banked oval track.

The nudge and spin Bangers will provide plenty of fender-bending action, as the MOT failures crash around the track, with those that survive the racing being sent to the great scrap yard in the sky in the metal-bending demolition derby that closes the meeting.

With a massive grid of cars, offering something for every race fan and the drivers determined to put the pedal very firmly to the metal to start piling up points in the 2009 Summer track championship, Angmering will deliver a great action packed and value for money day out for all the family (whatever the weather) on Sunday, March 22.

Angmering is located just off the A280, between Worthing and Angmering. The gates open at 8am, with racing commencing at 11.30am. Adult admission is 10 kids, 10-14, 5, with kids under ten free. Senior Citizens, disabled and Students (with valid student cards) can also enjoy a days racing for just 5.

Hard standing parking is available around the track, with dedicated parking spaces for disabled drivers, allowing everyone to catch the racing action from the comfort of their own cars.
