Check out the updated booking list with the F1 Stock Car heat splits having also been added which can be accessed through the link here.
We are looking forward to another great night at King's Lynn this Saturday (5.30pm start - pre meeting Ministox race at 5.15pm).
So.....5.15 start then? I thought promoters had stopped all this pre meeting race confusion?
Looking forward to this. Best track and best formula combination. Hope the weather is kind.

I havent seen that clip before. Promoters would do anything for a crowd like that nowadays.

Don’t put the roast on yet Jane. Change of result in GN. 217 removed.
Thanks for the results guys.

It was superb, but let's not get carried away. I doubt that crowd would turn up every month. I know a lot of people, myself included, made a massive effort to get there - new track, novelty value, etc - but I wouldn't do it every month. I don't think I could, tbh.
Two or maybe three a year would be ideal. Make them big events, like a championship, Shoot Out Round, Semi Final, whatever.... F2 as support.
Agree Carl. Great stadium and 2 or 3 meets a year would be just the job.

Maybe the cov promotion habe to give there dates up soon....
Doesnt look like they have anything planned at present :-(
Or the other remaining promoters just allow Deane to run Mildenhall a couple of times without losing dates at his other tracks whilst Cov is not running. One thing is for certain, we need another shale track if Stoke is not going to be used more than twice a year.

Well that went down well!
It’s going to be difficult to top the racing ratings.
Go on Deane, you know it makes sense. Give us a couple of Saturdays in 2019. Qualifier and Shootout rounds.
There’s also a couple of spare Saturdays in a July this year in a period where there is not much shale racing. Think about it.........

Good to see the East Coast Leg end still on the list. Is Sarge's engine back running?

Hi Graham,
I dont know for certain but I strongly suspect that the prize fund for the F2 British is far more than the F2 support was at the KL qualifier.
Over the past few weeks there have been numerous cancelled meetings across a number of promotions and those meetings that have ran have been Infront of below parr crowds due to the miserable weather.
I have been critical of promoters in the past for their lack of promotion and unwillingness to try something new and take risks. Deane is taking a risk bringing F1 back to Mildo and I hope it is a success. Promoters needs to make a profit or there is nowhere to race. I doubt the meetings ran so far this year have turned a profit, so I don’t mind paying a couple of quid more for something new and hope Deane makes a profit and tries it again next year.
I could take my better half for a nice meal and a drink and spend far more than the price of entrance for Mildo. At the end of the day we all spend our money on the things that we feel give best value.

£20 is a couple of quid more than a bog standard meeting and we have the F2 British plus the return of the F1 with a qualifier.
It’s 420 mile round trip for us so that’s about £60 quid in fuel, entrance, a couple of portions of fish and chips, programme and some teas and coffees will see us through the best part of £120 for the night before you take in wear and tear on the car etc. £2 a head makes no difference and in my opinion well worth the trip.

What is the parking situation like please as never been. Is it another Birmingham if your there early your alright if not you take a chance wherever you park.
Small car park in the stadium or track view parking for the early birds. Otherwise it’s park along tha access road or in the industrial estate. Generally can get parked reasonably close to the stadium if you get there half an hour before start.
I don’t mind leaving my car on the road outside, it’s not as risky as leaving it outside at Brum. Try keep off grass verges as there have been occasions when tickets have been put on cars.
Enjoy your trip!

According to the newsletter.
Thanks Dan

Thanks Carl,
Voting closed a couple of weeks ago but no news about the result of the driver poll. Does anyone know the result or are the BSCDA reconsidering options?

Good to see Craig booked in as he is one of the best out there, but I am puzzled. Presumably he has to comply with UK safety rules. As I understand it, one of the reasons why Craig stopped racing was that he didnt agree or was forced to comply with UK safety rules by the scrutineer?.....
What does he gain by registering as a Dutch driver?

Steve has been posting pictures and updates on Facebook but unfortunately we aren’t all on Facebook...

Excellent turnout for the first meeting. I doubted double qualifier points would make much of a difference but very pleased to be wrong.
Unfortunately can't go Sunday so first meet will be KL next week. Hopefully a similar or slightly larger turnout.

Good to see 267 Graeme Robson on the list from up in the North East.
Should be debuting a new (to him) car hopefully.

Creeping towards 50, should be a great meeting with plenty of loons as well.
Is anyone going to stop the Smith charge towards the silver room? If he wins heat and final like last time it could be all over.......

Now we all know there are a number of dutch drivers coming over
Positive use of social media to generate interest for the meeting. Well done Trackstar!

Stoxnet is open to read for anyone with internet. i can't read most fb sites as I am not a member of fb. Which is the most open??
so anybody can post or is it just members and is it open to new members
No it isn't. It's completely open. It can be read by anyone with an internet connection. Hope that helps.Stoxnet is a closed forum
You do nothing to encourage fans to go to your meetings and continue to alienate some people on here.
Look at your hosts to find out how to promote.
People say social media is creating negativity.........after your display on here we will be saving our money on Sunday and will return to B V when Startrax promote the end of season shootout finale.
PS. As I type this there are 45 people reading Stoxnet.

All the charm that we have come to expect. Foot in mouth springs to mind.
I am not a member of fb so seldom hear about anything posted there. From what I have heard it's not something I wish to get involved in as it does seem to get very personal.
Stoxnet has a huge readership. The majority don't post but they do read and it's not a closed site.
All season we have had an excellent meeting review thread which has been very informative and provides all the details we need to know. It's a shame you have not bothered to use this free advertising to promote your meeting in good time, and only when someone remarks do you begrudgingly post a sarcastic comment.
Do you ever wonder why the Coventry on tour isn't getting the support you would have liked from both fans and drivers......?
If you can't be bothered many fans won't be bothered. Coventry attracted a lot of regular fans who would come no matter what was served up, but it's gone. If you want to attract fans to your meetings don't take them for granted.
