P3,P4 and P5s only? Why no P6s or SD1s?

I’ll be there to watch the Rover one, including having my Datsun Laurel in the show beforehand. I’m curious as to how many ‘normal’ classic car people will go to the show due to the banger racing connection...
Exhibitors at the show get a free entry ticket (£14) and I’m assured that the area where the classics are parked will be secure.
Support formula is the Classic Hot Rods, I’m looking forward to seeing them.

Watch your Laurel near those banger boys Spotted These events seem to be happening more often,now I don't want to start the whole "most of them are only worth scrapping" debate as I do like banger racing and I have been to Hednesford a few times(pre '68s included), but I feel a bit uneasy about a Cortina only meeting.

Just to put your mind at rest - there's security being put on for the classics show throughout the day.
Being part of the banger scene since the 90's myself, and a racer for many years too, I've driven to banger meetings in loads of raceable tin over the years - A55 & A60 Cambridges, a Laurel, a couple of Mk2 Granadas - but going with a mate in a mint 3 litre Mk1 Granada Coupe on 15's felt like being a gazelle moonwalking past the the lion pen!
As for the format - SD1's will be out on the basis that a V8 one came within a few laps of winning at Ipswich in the World Championhips against all the race-built Granadas and Scorpios, so they are too fast. P6's are not seen as an "unlimited" sized car really, they are more at home in the restricted cc classics. If one got "lengthed" at a track as fast as Ipswich by a singing 3 litre P5 it wouldn't be pretty!

Love the expression "Lenghted", incidentally I will be at Skeggy Stadium next month!
