Bangers are a staple diet for a simple reason, they bring in far bigger crowds than anything else and most of the drivers are local meaning they will always support that track. The support formula's for the bigger series are simple, basic and the cars are built to last hence they look tatty and beaten up, what on earth do you expect? If you want inspiring cars go to Goodwood and watch them being ambled up a hill by a rich owner. who has no driving ability and is too scared to drive it properly.
This is budget motorsport of the kind no MSA licence holder will ever realise or be aware of likely. Hence the cars look a bit shabby.
All contact Stock cars are supposed to have lots of contact, if you don't understand that then you really have no comprehension of what you are talking about.
And F1 stox often provide the least amount of action on a stock car meeting, try national saloons, 13400 stox, Ministox or shale F2 before making sweeping statements.
In other news, Woody has bought Mildenhall, so their future relatively safe.

In the last year I have been to meetings at Aldershot, Birmingham, Buxton, Dover, Northampton, Ringwood, Smallfields, and Sheffield. So I have a reasonable idea of what I am talking about.
You call me disparaging, yet go on to agree with all of my points.
Obviously you believe that I am not entitled to my own opinions about stock cars, or anything for that matter.
The fact is Wimbledon is closing. Would it be closing if it had huge crowds every week? No. Why does it not have huge crowds every week? Because people don't want to pay to watch the racing there.
There is a short track race in the States this weekend. Maybe 150,000 will attend. It could be something to do with the cars being a little bit more inspirational.
