When jalopy jockeys gather at Hendnesford Hills Raceway in Britain, anything can happen & it usually does. These are stock cars. The only resemblance to the family auto is a dented fender or two as they race a Figure Eight course with a crash, bang, boom! Panning TLS start of race, judge waving starting flag, junky stock cars passing cam. Panning TLS banged-up cars taking turns, crossing paths, causing some minor accidents-- note that drivers are on the right side of the cars. This is more or less the English version of demolition derby, only with more competition.
