mcrew Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 He wasn't well known outside of the Autospeed area, and will be almost unheard of by most of the younger South West forum members, but banger driver (from Newton Abbot days) Alan Manning died last Friday. I spent many, many happy hours watching him and his arch enemy, Kevin Stack, battling it out with each other round Newton Abbot, Smeatharpe, and I think on very rare occasions St.Austell, when I was a youngster. It was guys like him, Stacky and Paul Shepherd that made me want to take up banger racing. RIP Smasher.
