The Banger Boys is a 1976 documentary by New Decade Films, it covers the life and times of a group of “banger boys” – men who find still functional cars in junkyards and take them out for one last hurrah on one of Britain’s many dirt tracks.
Banger racing is still a hugely popular sport in the United Kingdom, but now they’re required to add a slew of safety measures – which is probably for the best when you consider how flimsy many of these cars are after an impact or two.
Ben has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
