You are aware the back straight stand is not available and Lundy is likely not to be racing? ๐๐ -

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - SATURDAY 4TH APRIL @ 6PM
Broadsword replied to BSCDA's topic in Essential Information
All the best commentators have a โsnifterโ surely...didnโt James Hunt get through two bottles of red wine on his first commentary duties with Murray Walker. I was very disappointed with Sarge to be honest drinking while on a live feed....drinking from a bottle AND Budweiser, I wouldnโt even use it to put out a fire, let alone drink the stuff. Come on Sarge, G&T next time or at least Guinness or a real ale...๐ -
LIVE FROM THE WORKSHOP WITH 512 MICHAEL STEWARD.4.1.2020

Get Derek Fairhust in charge of tyre choice and spec. -
Its an interesting one but this decade has probably seen more `open ` racing at the top for a long, long time in the sport, no one driver has really dominated throughout the period as the case perhaps in the past - Stuart senior, Lundy, Frankie and then Andy prior to his retirement. I do think, although there are moans and gripes with the fans (there always is and always will be) that this decade has really been the most entertaining and closest at the top that we have seen for an age and I really do hope it continues. Having said that I do agree that the 318 Speaky period really upped it completely, as Dave says its almost as though the bumpers, big hits and entertainment came back with a bang....it was borderline mental for a period, I still think it is tbh but we do appear to be `perhaps` entering another period of dominance with Tom . I honestly think we will look back at this decade as almost the `golden age`...I just hope it continues . But for me on pure putting it back to `bums on seats` racing its got to be Speaky.

No offence meant Bryan but over the past few years there has been that many times that meetings have started early or confusion over what actually constitutes official start times, ie F1, F2, Ministox, heritage, pre-meeting nudge and spin 50cc shopping trolleys etc that funnily enough even hardened fans like me that back the promoters corner a lot of the time have little faith in what is an actual start time. For once it can`t be blamed on us, its been self inflicted by the sport itself that has led to an awful lot doubting any official start time. I will add that it has improved a lot over the last couple of years but at one time it was a joke. Cheers Andy

Theres nothing on FB, which seems to be the first point of contact for the promoters and organisations so I`m taking it as per original announcement.

Looks like its going to be sunny but a tad on the chilly side - any info as to whether the hot soup seller is going to be there??

A bit of factual information. Of the 39 cars that raced at the first meeting, 14 of them are not currently booked in to race this Saturday. And we have 16 drivers booked in or this Saturday that did not race at the first meeting. And 25 at both meetings. Do you like films about Gladiators ? I may have vada`d one or two of them ducky.. I think the numbers are about what you would expect. Stoke is normally about 35-45 cars, quite good numbers normally and not far off a Kings Lynn meeting. I mean its Stoke at the end of the day, its not the closing of Coventry, the old Belle Vue or dare I say the place at the end of the M606 somewhere ooop North. . Its surprised me from the start the numbers that have gone since 2011 - the initial track was akin to a roller coaster ride, the fence is old style soft motorway armco with `Oles` in it which meant often than not instead of bouncing off the car hooked in and stopped dead and the track lighting, particulary on the bends and back straight was borderline dangerous ** Brilliant racing though and will be very sad to see it go. Cheers Sandy. ** - oh I forgot the new clarification rules to prevent misunderstanding ............"the promoter rents and does not own the track"

Yes but...........oh better not, don`t want to start discussing things on a discussion forum..

I`m really looking forward to the Stoxnet Stoke Punch and Judy show.....are we drawing lots over who is going to self appoint themselves the role of the Policeman?

Agreed Carl, but I have been holding back on my traditional 'support formula' comment. Surprised Ozzy`s not chipped it yet... -

Not sure on the policy but coming from the Midlands you`ll need 3 space heaters, 4 sleeping bags, full thermals, wooly socks and hat...it`s Buxton in August remember.
