I'm a bit surprised that Joey Sloof is still white. From the way he drove at the WF last month I thought he'd have been upgraded by now.

A few changes to the booking list. 74 cars as of this morning. 1 1 Frankie Wainman Jnr 2 2 Paul Harrison 3 4 Daniel Johnson 4 16 Matt Newson 5 21 Mark Gilbank 6 22 Will Yarrow 7 24 Mark Adkins 8 25 Bradley Harrison 9 28 Thomas Boyer 10 34 Mal Brown 11 36 Jordan Falding 12 37 Chris Cowley 13 40 Steve Smith 14 45 Nigel Harrhy 15 49 Stuart Milnes 16 53 John Lund 17 57 Bill Fenwick 18 75 Thomas Stevenson 19 76 Aaron Cozens 20 83 Darren Clark 21 84 Tom Harris 22 94 John Dowson Jnr. 23 95 Michael Lund 24 105 Chris Bonner 25 127 Austin Moore 26 134 John Brown 27 150 Mick Sworder 28 158 James Clement 29 166 Bobby Griffin 30 183 Steve Whittle 31 191 Joshua Smith 32 192 Luke Dennis 33 196 Murray Jones 34 198 Nigel Whalley 35 207 Ben Hurdman 36 208 Stephen Malkin Sen. 37 212 Daniel Wainman 38 215 Geoff Nickolls 39 217 Lee Fairhurst 40 220 William Hunter 41 224 Mark Gray 42 231 Daniel van Spijker 43 237 Ollie Ives 44 238 Richard Bryan 45 244 Mick Rogers 46 259 Paul Hines 47 276 Mark Poole 48 280 Colin Nairn 49 287 Sean Willis 50 290 Jay Tomkins 51 293 Eliot Smith 52 306 Ian Noden 53 307 Tim Warwick 54 313 Karl Roberts 55 318 Rob Speak 56 321 Edward Neachell 57 326 Mark Sargeant 58 331 Peter Allin 59 335 Mark Woodhull 60 338 Chris Brocksopp 61 339 Anthony Lee 62 348 John Wright 63 351 John Frost 64 386 Joe Thompson 65 390 Stuart Smith 66 415 Russell Cooper 67 422 Ben Riley 68 445 Nigel Green 69 451 Martin Spiers 70 472 Allen Cooper 71 493 Andy Clarke 72 511 Jake Hall 73 555 Frankie Wainman JJ 74 H179 Sjaak Kentie

Latest press release from Trackstar BIG LEAGUE ARE BACK! Big league F1 Stock Cars return to the Adrian Flux Arena for the first time in over two months and a star studded grid will be in attendance with the third round of the National Points Shootout taking place. The National Series guarantees all of the big guns will be in attendance and that is certainly the case this Saturday with newly crowned World Champion 1 Frankie Wainman heading a star studded line up. 445 Nigel Green is the third leader of the series in as many meetings and the early rounds have certainly been nail biting affairs and with over 40 cars booked in for action this Saturday that trend looks set to continue. 6 races are scheduled for the F1s on Saturday with the traditional White & Yellows race kicking off F1 proceedings at 5.40pm, with the first heat proper set to start no earlier than 6pm.

Meeting preview from Trackstar's website. Stock car racing returns to the Adrian Flux Arena on Saturday night (24 September, 5:30pm) with a triple bill of hard-hitting formulae, headlined by the third round of the Shootout Series for BriSCA Formula One stock cars. They will be ably supported by Two-Litre and 1300cc stock cars, with all three formula's recently crowned World Champions in action. After claiming his third World title at Coventry three weeks ago, #1 Frankie Wainman Jr will be showing off his new number and gold roof, after an incredible season that has also taken him to the British title, and seen rapid progress from his two children in their racing careers. 1 Frankie Wainman will be showing of the gold roof for the first time on Saturday Wainman will be joined by his younger brother #212 Danny Wainman, with both being contenders in the end-of-season Shootout for the silver roof. Son #555 Frankie Wainman Jr Jr will also be in action, having just missed out on a place in the Shootout after his own superb season. Currently leading the Shootout standings after the opening two rounds is 445 Nigel Green. The Leicester man has the joined the superstar ranks for the first time this season and has always had his eye on the silver roof which he feels is a true barometer of success. 445 Nigel Green currently leads the Shootout Points After Wainman in second, comes former World Champion #2 Paul Harrison who impressed at Skegness last weekend, and Norfolk’s own #16 Mat Newson, one of the most committed drivers in the sport and a perennial challenger who always seems to miss out on the luck just when he needs it. A consolation and final double at Skegness last weekend means that #318 Rob Speak remains firmly in contention to take the title in this, his final year of racing after a glittering career Opportunities to see 318 Rob Speak in action are running out King’s Lynn specialist and top entertainer 150 Mick Sworder will fancy his chances this weekend, while defending champion #4 Dan Johnson and former champion #55 Craig Finnikin could do with big scores to boost their standings. Third place in the World Final proved #217 Lee Fairhurst’s shale credentials again, but he and #220 Will Hunter are probably outsiders for the title and could do with bagging some large hauls of points whilst 84 Tom Harris is always a driver you can't take your eyes off around King's Lynn. Away from the Shoot Out, 22 Will Yarrow and 335 Mark Woodhull look a big threat from the blues whilst 207 Ben Hurdman and 338 Chris Brocksopp are real dangers from the yellows 335 Mark Woodhull wil be giving the shootout drivers something to think about on Saturday 76 Aaron Cozens won the White & Yellows race last time out and is always quick around Lynn whilst 405 Keith Palmer will be out in an F1 for the first time in nearly twenty years! All of the fun of the fair will be at the Adrian Flux Arena this Saturday! The good news for mum and dad is that it the ride is free for kids to go on and they can go on them often as they like!!! Check back later in the week for details of what rides will be with us. Pit gate opens at 2pm.
