Notice to Van Banger Drivers
02/05/2012 18:16With the van banger meeting now only a month away, drivers are reminded of the latest ORC rules with regard to Van Bangers;
19. VAN MEETINGS
• Roll cages must be a minimum of one acrow bar up to a maximum of a full roll cage. If the single bar option is
used, it must be fitted centrally behind the driver’s seat, plated top and bottom, minimum 4 bolts per plate. A
full roll cage is recommended on fibreglass bodies and flat fronted vans, so as to help protect the driver’s feet. If
fibreglass type body, then the door plate can be welded to the rollcage on the driver’s side. The driver’s seat
must be secured at shoulder height to the door pillars or cage, if fitted. Each promotion may have additional
regulations – please check.
• An engine guard is permitted on cam belt or forward facing distributor type engines. This is to protect the
engine only and not to add strength to the van and may only be bolted to the engine. The scrutineers
decision is final.
• Vans with independent chassis, the rear end must be removed back up to the rear spring hanger, to allow the
body to collapse.
• If it is not possible to fit a water tank within the National Banger rules above, the local Promoter may allow the
fitment elsewhere within the car.
• Engines must be in original position.
• No air cooled ‘Plant’ type engines
• Roll cage may not extend beyond the front bulkhead.
Big van bangers return to the Norfolk Arena on Monday 4 June
