The Adrian Flux Arena was alive with noise, colour, and crunching metal on Bank Holiday Monday as “Crash for Cancer” brought fans a day of destruction in aid of The Big C charity.
From the first green flag to the last van limping across the line, the action never let up and the thousands in attendance knew they were part of something special.
The headline act came from the Big Van Bangers, where campers, delivery vans, and minibuses smashed and battered their way toward a spectacular Destruction Derby finale.
Father-and-son pairing Russell and Callum Gill were back in action, entertaining the terraces with fearless driving and sheer spectacle. In the end, trophies flowed almost as freely as the twisted metal.
Elsewhere, the Reliant Robins provided their trademark mayhem in the World of Shale Championship, their three-wheel theatrics defying balance and logic at every turn.
The Saloon Stock Cars raised the intensity even further in the Bumper Trophy, with 341 Austen Freestone and freshly crowned World Champion 389 Ryan Santry trading relentless blows in a bruising contest that had the crowd roaring.
But behind every crash and cheer lay a deeper purpose: raising funds for The Big C, a Norfolk charity supporting cancer care. Organisers confirmed that every ticket, every programme, and every bucket shake helped fuel vital local services.
And there’s no time to rest.
Tomorrow, the stadium welcomes the return of the BriSCA F1 Stock Cars for their final Lynn appearance before the World Final.
With 76 cars booked, it’s all on the line in the Consolation Semi Final – a last-chance scramble where the sport’s biggest names, including 515 Frankie Wainman Jnr, 445 Nigel Green, and 1 Tom Harris, will stop at nothing to secure their spot.
Rising star 457 Callum Gill is also expected to feature, chasing more points in the build-up to September’s £5000 Dash for the Cash.
Adding to the bill, the Ministox Gold Roof National Championship promises no shortage of drama, with 29 young drivers set to battle it out for the sport’s ultimate junior prize.
With online tickets cheaper than the gate – and free entry for under-11s – Saturday’s event is already shaping up to be unmissable.
