Thanks all.... I believe the Semi-Final result is not yet confirmed, as an official protest has been made.

Yes. If you've scored enough qualifying points then you're entitled to race in a semi-final.

The clock is now ticking towards one of our highlight's of the 2019 season, the BriSCA Formula One Stock Car Championship of the World SEMI FINAL1 The last hurdle to complete before the Night of Night's in September when the Gold roof is decided! Sheffield is for true Gladiators and Men of Steel and be assured, with the unusual heavy weight of firepower in this Race, this is no easy ride into the World with the calibre of talent in the first three or four rows but also, at the bottom end, some well deserved and dedicated lower graders! The first three rows say it all! From Norwich in Norfolk, Matt Newson (16) who for so long has been committed yet lady luck has deserted him at the final hour, take the Silver roof race in 2018, the British and more. Matt suffered a freak and devastating illness late Winter and many thought he would not be back for the 2019 campaign. Sheer grit and determination has seen him pull himself up by the boot straps and if anything, return sharper than ever with a stellar drive at the Hednesford British which all unravelled on the last bend. Joining him on row 1 is now International Oval racer Tom Harris who will be fired up after some jaw dropping performances recently and times in the USA in Sprint Cars. Whilst he is dialled in on shale, others cannot afford him an easy run and pole position at the Norfolk Arena, too much risk! Behind him are two adversaries I wouldn't want on my back bumper, Bolton's Lee Fairhurst and local Chesterfield ace, Dan Johnson - both desperate to secure a prime sport at Lynn and both know what they have to do! And then we come to row 3! Local Rotherham ace who literally works around the corner and long standing 'non nonsense' racer Mark Gilbank. Mark is a traditionalist, licks his meetings, focuses on the World that has eluded him, self built good competitive cars and knows how to use the bumper and run in hard if something BIG is at stake. Mark has one objective, the glamour of the names before him will not daunt him! Sharing row 3 is another F1 World Champion, respected Nigel Green, BriSCA F1's version of the professor in F1 GP Alain Prost! Dialled in,tenacious and a quick learner, Nigel is 'clinical' in his approach and thought process, as seen a couple of years ago with his do or do hero lunge at Belle Vue in the NS finale, he can do the business! He will want number 2 to join his Ipswich World victory! This is probably one of the most pulsating and intriguing grids that will provide countless hours of pre race speculation. One race on August 4th will give some a major advantage in September! The rest of the grid is included and final information and bookings will be released next week! Fast and furious National Ministox complete a superb 10 race programme. Got your saver tickets yet ? Save money to on the day prices ? Check out www.startrax.info Booked for the carvery yet ? Don't delay, contact the stadium direct for reservations on 01142343074. Don't miss the 'real' F1 titans in action and compare this to the Williams GP lads having a go on SKY - that's just a taster, this IS the real Mc Coy!

Track preparation at 3.20pm.

https://www.abingtonavenueguesthouse.co.uk We've stayed here a few times in the past. About a quarter of an hour's drive from the track. It was quite nice. Booked it months in advance, though. Last time, we stayed at one in Horton, which was just about walking distance from the track. Can't find it on the net though, maybe the old dear that ran it has retired.

I think for one person camping it would work out cheaper to get a B&B. Or roughly the same price but more comfortable. And Rod, I sometimes don't know what day it is, let alone what year But nice to see someone is paying attention.

I've sorted about half a dozen new members out, but there's still a fair few that applied for and got an account, and then have never logged in. If you're one of them, then email admin@stoxnet.com.

For me personally, that's for the best. It's been quite some time now since I've had people complaining to me about something that somebody else has posted on here, or being unpleasant about me and the other admins because their account has been terminated, or telling me that they're going to come and find me at a meeting and smash my head in with a hammer. It's a fine line between an interesting theoretical discussion and a heated argument. As you said in your post, far too many people want to be offended or angry. I think what's actually happened is that we got rid of all the problem members that either deliberately stirred it up for the fun of it, or were too thick to realise just how rude they were. The ones that are left are (usually!) pretty well behaved and can put their point across in a civilised way and don't need moderating. It used to be a lot looser, and it didn't work. Many threads descended into petty arguments, it showed Stoxnet and the sport itself in a bad light, and quite frankly it was an embarrassment to be associated with it.
