Rikard Polo was banger racing! Passed away a few years ago now (His memorial meeting was at Arena in 2003, so im guessing at 2002). There was a thread on the Ovalchat forum so people could post there thought and pass on there condolences, and it made the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. What he could do with a car most of us only dream about, he could win a World title or just pull of massive hit after massive hit. After he got his ban from bangers he raced 2 litre hot rods where he came very good picking up some titles. He actually died fom burns he received after a fire at his yard. (I think it was his yard anyway!) A very sadly missed driver, one of the best ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrew Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I remember when Polo raced his last alternative world final at Smeatharpe Stadium, Him and Gus Carter had a private DD, and they both ended up swapping cars with other people, as they had wrecked their own, so that they could carry on the feud. Once the cars were wrecked, they both calmly got out, shook hands and walked over to the saftey area together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
