Good point. Although it does say "48 cars max" for the weekend. Not 48 Saturday and 48 Sunday.

Rubbish like this?

A bit of banter is one thing, but some of this got a bit personal, so I've pruned it. Let's stick to discussing stock car racing, and not each other, eh?

Now the max 48 cars. 2 Paul Harrison 5 Charlie Sworder 16 Mat Newson 25 Bradley Harrison 30 Chris Brown (Sunday only) 37 Chris Cowley 43 Adam Bamford 48 Shaun Webster 101 Tristan Jackson 120 Casey Englestone 124 Kyle Gray 147 Eddie Collins 164 John Fortune 166 Bobby Griffin 172 Micky Randell 175 Karl Hawkins 197 Ryan Harrison 211 Phoebe Wainman 212 Danny Wainman 216 Jack France 217 Lee Fairhurst 220 Will Hunter 242 Joe Nickolls 259 Paul Hines (Saturday only) 278 Paul Hopkins 283 Alex Wass 284 Sam Wass 300 Paul Carter 301 Mark Allen 326 Mark Sargent 346 Ashley England 385 Sam Render 401 Mark Wareham 412 George Crabtree 415 Russell Cooper 416 Dave Muckian 422 Ben Riley 451 Martin Spiers 460 Chris Cooke 464 Luke Davidson 501 George Elwell 515 Frankie Wainman Jnr 518 Stuart Shevill Jnr 526 Finn Sargent 532 Daz Kitson 533 Callum Oakes-Kitson 543 Drew Lammas H318 Rik Lensson

Yes. That was just one of a range of comedically named 'offences' or behaviours on the Opposite Lock forum back in the day. And Pedro is right, I'm doing it again.

Press release from Skegness Stadium. Couple of things we can confirm for the UK Weekend. All the World Champions will be present for the Teng Tools Challenge. Andy Smith will take Stuart's place in the cars during the time and speed trials. Also we are pleased to confirm Former Saloon World Champion Eddie Darby will be back out for the weekend in the Rob Speak car.

Start times 5pm Saturday, 12 noon Sunday. F1 plus F2 and Saloons The place to be for the biggest stock car weekend of the year: the three main stock car formulas all at one place for two days of non-stop racing. BriSCA F2 Stock Cars - around 90 F2s will be here to qualify for the UK Championship, the current holder is Gordon Moodie. There will be cars racing from all parts of the UK, plus Drivers from Northern Ireland & mainland Europe. With all of the top driver in this formula at Skeggy, it's no mean feat to win the coveted UK trophy. Qualifying for the UK takes place on Saturday night with points scored carried forward to Sunday, and drivers from the two Consolations on Sunday making up the 36 car UK Championship grid. The 2L Saloon Stock Cars, who often steal the show where ever they race, will be joined by drivers from Scotland, Northern Ireland and for the first time for several years, visitors from mainland Europe are entered to race. The Saloons race in the heats on Saturday night with the top 24 points scorers going forward to Sunday's UK Championship. A last chance race on Sunday makes up the 32 car grid. The current UK Champion is Max Stott. BriSCA F1 Stock Cars are the third formula of this weekend. With around 48 cars racing it's going to be good hard fast racing. The now traditional Teng Tools World Champions Challenge will commence at 3pm on the Saturday with a meet and greet session for F1 World Champion Stuart Smith, F2 World Champ Gordon Moodie and of course your Saloon Gold Top Max Stott. However, the situation with Stuart's retirement from racing means at this stage we cannot confirm the details regarding the time trials as yet, but we do have a couple of options and a time trial will go ahead in a F1, a F2 and a Saloon and will involve both Gordon and Max. More details to follow in the future. Don't forget the late night bar and disco in the main bar. Party the night away with the Speaks!

Don't forget to buy a programme. It's epic.

Good point.

The official list states 36 booked in, incl Willie Skoyles I don't get sent the official lists any more.

Not is only the temperature hotting up but so is the anticipation for Sundays BriSCA F1 Final World Qualifier and BriSCA F2 English Championship where the winner goes straight into the 2019 Shoot Out! We have had one F1 cancellation, Willie Skoyles making 38 at the moment albeit we may have one last addition to be confirmed in the next 24 hours! F2 wise, 51 cars as of noon today! 10 hard days has gone into the track, all he bends have been dug out [ around 100 ton! ] new material also being added today and relaid and below are the pictures as of end of work last night! After two meetings where the track has been flooded the day prior with the strange weather, we have had a good spell to get back to where we want to be - and with a major Championship for F2 as well as F1 we have tried to prepare the best surface possible! Sunday 30th June 3.30.pm - Gates open 2.pm

Good to see somebody pays attention... I've double checked. The first press release had a typo, the lower prices are the correct ones. I've changed the original post in case of confusion.

The MONDAY PREVIEW for the Belle Vue meeting of the year! Sunday 30th June at 3.30.pm BELLE VUE GREYHOUND STADIUM Kirkmansulme Lane, Gorton, Manchester M18 7BA The BriSCA F2 ENGLISH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP 2019 The BriSCA F1 Stock Car Racing ‘last chance’ World Qualification round plus The 21st Anniversary Celebration of Belle Vue and 65 years of UK Stock Car racing – plus Heritage stock car demonstration! Let Startrax entertain you at the cusp of the 2019 Summer holidays with a ‘Flaming June’ session of BriSCA Stock Car at the iconic Kikrmanshulme lane Belle Vue Stadium! It get’s no bigger than this special ‘celebratory’ and championship event for BriSCA F1 and F2 Stock Car Racing where the shale is set to fly with a riveting afternoon/early evening of hi octane sideways full contact stock car racing. The huge horsepower of BriSCA F1 Stock Cars – 600 brake horsepower, larger than life cars driver by larger than life characters – full contact, big cars, short circuit, contact equals explosive action. An amazing spectacle of thrills and excitement for all the family as the drama unfolds ‘live’ in front of you! 11 pulsating BriSCA races including the coveted English Open Championship for BriSCA F2 and and World qualification for F1’s two BIG grids are planned for the feature finals! Whilst the sword of Damocles may hang over the future of Belle Vue Stadium with a planning application for a new housing development pending, Startrax are gearing up the season and treating every meeting as though it might be the last! This marks a huge achievement in that almost to the month the venue celebrates it’s 21st anniversary of continuous stock car racing at the venue and the sport also acknowledges 65 years since it’s birth in 1954 on Good Friday at New Cross in London! As well as a ‘must get’ collectable programme with considerable archive material from North Western tracks from the past, we welcome back a demonstration of the boys from the black stuff in Heritage Cars to celebrate the occasions and more than a little nostalgia as we switch back in time! However, Sunday 30th June at Belle Vue Greyhound Stadium on paper looks sets to perhaps be the meeting of 2019 with this being the final nail biting round of the 2019 World qualification series which is also expected to attract a good entry. The early list sees an attractive line up of BriSCA F1’s including many unusual ‘visitors’ trying to gain just a few more points to get them either into the F1 Semis or further up the grid to give a better throw of the dice to be on the ultimate World grid in September in Norfolk. Some names are better known on tarmac, however it’s a veritable who’s who of F1 talent from across the country. More bookings are expected as the week unfolds. BriSCA F2 wise, the stars are out in force, headed by Scottish ace Chris Burgoyne and Fife based World Champion Gordon Moodie however the list sees impressive names from across the country and the sport with already 51 cars entered! This is one of the biggest Stock Car events in the region and we suggest that this is one to put in your diary and attend, who knows 2020 may well be too late! The stadium offers great family facilities with a huge 2000+ seated Raceview /Glass fronted grandstand – great whether hot, cold or inclement – and at no extra charge - and awesome and luxurious viewing complete with licensed bars, fish and chips and catering outlets!
