About the winning series «Skowyrne wraki» (Destroyed cars but still full of power)

On a closed track created in a field, races are held in which low-budget, old cars take part. They are characterized by the absence of many irrelevant body elements. An additional scratch or dent does not make any impression on the owners. Despite the simplicity of the races and the age of the vehicles, the drivers and their families supporting them are very involved in the competition.

The pictures were taken at Guzowice in Poland.

Guzowice is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Cieszków, within Milicz CountyLower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.
