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.

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?

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!
