  1. Can hardly believe this very sad and tragic news. We bumped into Tim only a couple of weeks ago in Bedford Park as he walked the dogs and had a great chat with him.

    He was one of our favourite drivers (well, one of everybody’s favourite drivers!), always a proper old skool racer and entertainer too, plus being from our hometown, we would always cheer him on. Known him for 30 plus years, and remember being at Brafield when he won a race and Chrissy proposed to him on the track afterwards.

    Love and thoughts to Chrissy and the family.

    Chris & David

    RIP Tim 307

    Unofficial....   http://stoxnet.com/points/

    Info I've got regards jokers includes 13 and 120,  but they've already used their jokers. 

    Jokers from Kings Lynn 24th October were played by 12, 16, 31, 34, 83, 124, 127, 150, 211, 231, 234, 242, 463, 502, 515, 524, 555.

    13 and 120 already played theirs' at Kings Lynn 22/8 and Skegness 10/10 respectively.

    You do great job, Ricky. This is just a blip, don't give up.  :thumbsup:

    To be honest, it's actually less complicated than the normal scoring system. 

    However, it relies on knowing :-

    • the number of cars in each race
    • all of the finishers in each race

    If this information is not available, then you can't do it. 

    For KL, this could be read straight off MyLaps. But it looks like there were some problems with the lapscoring at Skeg, as the MyLaps entry is obviously wrong. As in, FWJ raced in Heat 1 (he wasn't even there), Daz Kitson was both 12th and 20th, some cars are missing completely.   

    Presumably the correct runners and finishers are different to what is listed on MyLaps, but this is not available to the public.   

    For example... the official points table has 502 Ricky Wilson scoring 53 points at Skegness. 

    I have Ricky as scoring:

    Attendance: 10 pts

    Heat 2 (24 cars) - 15th = 10 pts

    Heat 3 (23 cars) - 12th = 12 pts

    Final (25 cars) - 15th =  11pts

    10 + 10 + 12 + 11 = 43

    So either I've got the wrong results, or the wrong number of cars in each race, or both. 

     

     

    I believe I now have the correct results for Skegness on 29th August - these will give the same points as on the BSCDA website (Note: Carl, you have worked out 502 correctly, this has now been amended in the BSCDA table):

    Jokers: 1, 381, 392, 451.

  4. Very sad to hear about Roger, writing this with tears in my eyes. My brother Chris and I used to regularly write reports and send photos to his excellent Roger’s UK Oval Racing Pages. It was always good to meet up at meetings for a chat. Our condolences to Julie and the rest of his family and friends. RIP Roger
