  1. Look like good turnouts. Do any of our stoxnet stat experts* know what the car numbers were for the corresponding weekend last year?

     

    * normally nerds, but today our best friends and a valuable source of info :)

    Having spent time earlier working it out. I'll share my nerdiness for Birmingham attendance through the year to prove a point on Facebook that April is normally a special case in car numbers.

     

     

    If you ignore Gala which is a special event. Here is what you get.

     

    2016

    May - 30

    Aug - 34

    2015.

  2.  

    Really looking forward to this.

     

    Coventry may be gone, Bradford may just be a fantasy, but stock car racing is still magic.

    .Not really hatman , Coventry nearly always topped 60 cars, Bradford was way up there too with 3 heat meetings , so a 26 car two thirds meeting format does not entice me I'm afraid. The "cracker" at Christmas was only enlightened a bit, by a tremendous effort by a first time Dutch entrant. To be honest after a winter break 26 cars is a poor effort by the F1 drivers. Good on the F2 lads though !

    At 26 cars it'll be all in. But what a doom and gloom post.

     

    He is right stock car racing is magic and can produce great racing regardless of car numbers. Especially at a track like Belle Vue which is known for good racing of late.

     

    And for info the F2s are 3 weeks into their season hence why a lot more cars are ready and racing. From a shale point there has already been Kings Lynn and Stoke.

    Bit more detail from Nigel's Facebook.

  5. Would 2nd and 3rd have been measured after a GN? If not it looks a bit unlucky on Rob as they may all have been in the same boat if similar changes had been made.

    Only the winner gets checked for heats, consolations and Grand Nationals.

     

    Top 3 get checked in a final.

     

    Top 5 in a championship race (British, Euro, U.K. Open)

  6. Playing devils advocate for a moment. How do you know Tom isn't going to take part in the remaining 9 meetings?

     

    Dont forget last year 515 blew the engine at Skegness pretty much 0 points. Going into the grand national at Sheffield it was 4/515/212 in contention.

     

    Just because Tom has missed round 1 doesn't mean he shouldn't be allowed to race in it.

  7. 19 Jon Horne has posted on Twitter that he'll be racing at this meeting. Think he's sold his car and is using a Mat Newson one?

    That was certainly his plan from comments on his Facebook.

     

    John Dowson also posted on Facebook that he had a choice of cars. To which Mat replied with pictures of the silver and yellow cars. So not sure if he will be out in one too.

     

    James Morris also a customer of Mats. Could be another one of those busy weekends for Mat. Good job he already qualified

  8. I do not post on here to stir up anything. Delete me if you think that to be true.If anything it is YOU who is now stirring!!! I did not try to add to the confusion I merely stated that they were wrong in their assumptions End Of

    That's all good. But when I state an assumption it's exactly that it's my interpretation of a situation with the facts I have. I am perfectly happy to be proven wrong by people with the facts. I agree this sport is terrible for giving its fans the facts and you as a member of 152 shouldn't have to explain the situation. But hay I don't see that changing.

     

    What I don't agree with is feeling belittled by someone who does have the facts but feels the need to make a big deal of the fact that I had an assumption or an opinion in the first place. That is my only issue.

     

     

    Captian Nut Nut. My prediction. 515-445-84 with a few big name dnfs in the consi.

  9. It's nice you can come on stoxnet and have a discussion with or without facts about the information that has been presented at the time.

     

    Oh wait it appears you can't do that and you are called a pair of old woman.

     

    If you actually read my post. Where did I assume anything? Don't think I did but hay I am sure I can be corrected by someone who knows FACTS.
