Yep my Ford wagon was also the only one in the country!.. took me 4 months to get it imported from LA, registered and legal to use in the UK, only got about 2 months of pleasure from it before it got taken! Encouraging to see most supporters of this local 'sport' deploring the actions of a few whilst others at the meeting seemingly finding it all acceptable and somewhat amusing!!. Certainly not a good final day for Ringwood Raceway! Remains to be seen if the two drivers concerned will be prosecuted.. I won't hold my breath!!

Disgraceful day.

they deserve prison time for destroying such rare classics, yet alone the fact that they stole someones pride and joy.

Ringwood going out the way it lived it seems. This sort of thing will put the death of UK Oval racing into top gear. A shit show, overpriced with criminals (who I understand had already faced a lifetime ban for causing shit in the pits?) being allowed to race stolen machinery WITH prior warning to the promoters who did nothing about it. I personally have no issue with bangers, and know some good lads and lasses from it, but this kind of stuff cannot be allowed to exist and the promoters of other venues should be actively taking a stand. You're ruining it for the rest of us.

Well done to that promotion!. Letting stolen cars race and being told they was stolen and still let them race. If it wasn't the last meeting it should be!

Shocking behaviour letting stolen motors race a some what marred meeting .............. on a lighter note well done once again sam great vid as always

I remember seeing the station wagon in Andover about 2 weeks before it was stolen. Proper shame, it was a lovely car

Thanks for sharing the last ever Ringwood meeting class 👍

Feel bad for the origional owners of the ford and pontiac bad enough seeing the smashed up never mind having to watch it being totalled and seeing the guys who done it poor fellas

Promoters need to take a stand against this. All of them. This is a very big and black mark on oal racing as a hole

Great vid as always shame about the circumstances 🏁👍

strongest bl00dy jag I’ve seen in a good while… hats off man proper class

As a classic American car owner for over 15 years, this has broken my heart. There are plenty of cars you can buy from auction sites for a couple hundred quid for shit like this, don't go stealing peoples pride and joy. And it's not all about the money, it's the love and care that goes into importing and owning vehicles like this. It's not like owning an Astra. These vehicles hold a truly special place in every owners heart, and these guys literally ripped it from their chest. Well done for destroying someone's dream of owning that one car.

Thumbs up to sammy's coverage as always 👍👍👍 on what looked like a doll send off, seen more action in Tesco's car park. Thanks again for your work sammy you're a ledge.😊

Now Ringwood will be remembered for allowing stolen car's too race it's a sad ending..😥

Only here from a Facebook post about 2 stolen cars

Did you not go to the f1 stock car European championships? Or you mainly go to banger events?

Matchams park used to be such an awesome place: Oval racing, longtrack bike racing, MX, Supercross, Go kart / Minimoto track and I even learned to ride my TY80 there when I was 8 years old. My cousin used to race Stock cars there in the 80s and I went there from the early 80s until about 2007 when the whole venue was a mess with bad facilities :( Such a pity it couldn't be run by a reputable company and saved. I went to Arlington last night and it showed that good tracks do still exist.

Very disappointing - even more so if the suggestion that the promoters knew the 2 cars were stolen but still allowed them to race is true. I've read elsewhere that the legitimate owners of both cars arrived with the police who seized the cars, but obviously too late to prevent them being raced & wrecked. To be hoped that the true identities of the cars - and therefore their last legal owners - can be confirmed, and then action taken against the bleeps who raced them knowing the truth (even if they didn't steal them themselves). Hope too that other banger racing promoters across the country are aware of what occurred at Ringwood yesterday and make sure stolen cars aren't allowed to race on their circuits.
