Thanks Brat. Seen some great races today. The final really was a lot of chaos and very hard to follow. Top moments today: 229 Tsjalle Greidanus battling it out with the best in his 2nd F1 meeting 62 Bruce Potveer and 141 Richard Falkena dragracing to the finish for a second place in a heat, ending a few inches before the line with the 62 car up above 141. 345 Boy Tesselaar rolls his car for the 4th time this season 6 Pascal Spigt had great pace, but also took down a flagpole on the infield Dutch champion 453 Jacob de Vries was the fastest man all day. Had some bad luck in the heats but it came all together in the final. 618 Wybe de Vries debuting his new car with 2 heat wins! Acon once again did a brilliant job. Nearly 70 F1's for the 3rd time this season. Happy days in the Dutch dirt scene. There is an even bigger meeting coming up at the island of Texel. Wonder if some Brisca drivers are interested😉

Thanks Hary!

He was H221 when he raced the World Final last year, which is probably where the confusion has come from. H221 has also been Marco Jenninga. Rick has confirmed that it is him that is racing (as H14), and not Marco or any other H221. Also heard that Stef van Eck may be coming over? Rick started his career with H221(based on his dads number 22). When Arjan Koorn stopped racing, the number H14 came available. Rick has chosen this number because his granddad Roel Wobbes have raced with it in the past. I don't know about Stef van Eck.

Looking forward to my first UK meeting ever! I know H295 Willem Zwerver will also come over. Rick Wobbes is H14 and not H221.

Thanks Hary! The next meeting is Sint Maarten coming Sunday. Although the weather forecast doesn't look very well

Thanks Hary!

83! Add 728 Jan Postema and two former winners: 32 Axel Nijs and 76 Wierd Gietema

Quiet some new names. Nice to see various de Vries for an outing at Sint Maarten. Wybe de Vries making his F1 debut. He also makes the step from the Vrije Standaard. Bruce Potveer first time out at Sint Maarten as well. He only raced at Texel i believe.

Hope there will be 80 F1's. Booking list looks good with 10 days to go. It's his son Dennis who is on the list Brat. Curious what car he is racing and what grade. A superstar driver is his formula but don't know if that counts for F1.

Acon just announced that the following drivers earned their spot on the world final grid at Ipswich this year. 228 Jan Roelof Wijbenga 422 Marten Bijlsma 699 Jan Kuin They are the top 3 from the shale/dirt qualifying rounds at Emmen and Sint Maarten. Congratulations to them!

Defending champion 61 Koen Maris was really fast today.

Will post full official result later. First to the car park!
