Teen Streets 2027
Good afternoon all, ahead of the full fixtures being announced next season, will be the final year that the points champion from this year will carry the gold roof…
But why I hear you ask?
Well, as part of a 2027 fixture shake up, the Teen Streets will be competing at the Gold Roof Final on 5th December alongside the Street Bangers and Ladies Bangers.
The final for all 3 classes will be qualifiers only, with grid positions determined by a ball draw on the day.
This means all our domestic banger classes will be working towards the same goal through the year with the gold roof decided at this meeting. Points champions will be denoted by a silver roof if they wish.
Mini Metal Classic IV
Mini Metal returns 14th February as our season opener and this year, we have more bangers for your buck!
4 banger classes take to the track:
Tomorrows banger racing stars racing yesteryear’s cars with the Teen Street Classic’s back again in pre 95 cars (no K11 micras or 1.25 Zetecs permitted otherwise standard micro banger eligibility – please check car eligibility if unsure).
Teen Streets have a double dose of action as they are also racing in their standard cars.
The Street Banger Gold Roof series and points championship kicks off – this season opener has delivered plenty of cars and action over the last few years so heres to more of the same.
Last but not least, new for 2027 we have Old School Unders Bangers – pre 94 1600 RWD & 1400 FWD mixed in with post 94 1000 (no turbos, no K11 Micras).
Completing a full day of action will be the 1600 Prod Rods and 1 Litre Stocks – put the date in the diary and don’t miss it – forget those overpriced set menu meals in a packed restaurant – this is the way to spend Valentines Day!
Welcome to Standlake Arena
Our aim is to provide a fair days racing for as many people as possible in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Any car past its prime can have one final fling round the Standlake oval, whether you want to race or crash there is a class here for you.
There are various non-contact classes and then there’s the Bangers, Bangers and more Bangers at every meeting. We average 50 Bangers per meeting, with the emphasis on FUN you can race anything from a Mini to a Roller, just check the fixtures page for cc limits at individual meetings.
We have a large pit area and spectators can park around the track on the raised banking to watch from the comfort of their cars.
23 meetings are held throughout the year, on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays with 11am start times. About 30 races are run at each meeting with an average 150 racers competing at each event. There is usually a good turnout of Bangers with an average of 50 – 60 cars at each meeting. The Junior class is also well attended with around 25 cars at most meetings.
We also held a national record with 266 Banger cars in attendance at our Heavy Metal Classic on 2nd January 2005. The Heavy Metal Classic meetings are now recognised as the biggest Banger meeting the country sees each year.
Visiting banger drivers are welcome at any meeting.
