Early 1980
The earliest trace of ‘The Bandits’ would have been in early 1980, when Danish street racer, Lars Pedersen and a small group of ruffians would converge in the alleyways of Uptown Manhattan, and host street racing events, among other criminal mischief, such as; fixing races, theft, and mugging at knife-point. They weren’t organized, nor did they consider themselves a gang at this point.
1984
It wasn’t until September of 1984 when Lars would stumble across a man that would change the direction of the group. The man was Svørn Ingrid, Norwegian mechanic and recent immigrant. Svørn would go on to teach the group many useful methods of rigging races, illegal engine tuning, and most importantly; never losing a bet.
Later that year, Svørn would take it upon himself to officially unite the Manhattan street racing scene, in what he would deem ‘The Bandits Car Club’. The scene changed immensely after this point. Every race was rigged, and The Bandits always came out on top. Some ways they ensured this were sabotage, such as slashing tires, pulling spark plugs, draining the oil, or offing the driver.
1985
The Bandits went from being an unorganized group of hooligans, to an organized gang. To most they were just considered a club for wrenchmonkees, but those fortunate enough to know the inner workings knew the true illegal nature of their bidding. To those unfortunate enough to meet their gruesome ways, they were never to be seen again.
The Bandits became such a big deal in the city, that they picked up some unwanted attention from the government. Specifically that of Deputy Chairman Paul Volcker. Volcker wanted to put a stop to the illegal scene growing beneath his city, so in an attempt to do so, he proposed a bill that would restrict citizens from buying such hot car upgrades, and in doing so, nearly killed The Bandits.
On December 25th, 1985, Christmas Morning, Deputy Chairman Volcker’s family would wake up to Volcker’s deceased body lying in the foyer of their summer home. A note was left that read: “Merry Christmas, Volckers”.
Present
The Volcker incident created a lot of unnecessary heat, so The Bandits thought it was best to flee turfs, and make for the South Side…
