What the dentist won’t tell you: Hot Trods and bangers over stock car racing
Ever since I was a kid and my dad took me to a stock car race the day after his cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/articles/root-canal.html treatment, I’ve been in awe of the sport!
How we ended up at Wimbledon Stadium on Plough Lane is because my dad’s Dublin dentist told him all about it the week before he put up his guide to buying dental practices. I’ve never seen my father so excited after dental treatment. Apparently, boxing day is the coolest day to go on if your girlfriend allows it.
My dad says that the favourite part of stock car racing is the sound of the engines and the smell of the grease, it’s why he likes Hot Rods. Personally, I like the fastness of the cars and wouldn’t argue if I could have the opportunity to go to banger racing instead. What banger’s got more of than stock is the skill of the driver and the quality of the car. Some would disagree, and we’ll let them.
When we visited America on holiday in California, we went to a souped-up car show. Now that’s worth seeing for the Hot Rods. The engine modification is quite a science and the name actually derived from the Scottish-English border vengeance raids or Hot Trods to get back stolen items legally within three days. A lot more exciting as you can imagine, than watching stock car racing.
