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.

Thanks for the feedback, Dave. Not quite word for word though; I try to correct any spelling and grammatical mistakes, plus any factual errors, and format it nicely before I post it on here. Nah. There will be no meltdowns. Congratulations to Daniel S, who correctly predicted the time of the first comment about the admission price. All I'm doing is collecting relevant information and collating it on these Meeting Preview threads in the hope that it's useful for somebody. Unless I specifically say so, I'm not posting on behalf of any promoter, the BSCDA, or anyone else.

I can only take the credit for copying and pasting it. This meeting is the first round of the 2016 National Points Championship Shoot Out, and is also the first 2017 World Qualifying Round. Also on the bill is the National Ministox World Final, plus the V8 Hot Stox. The Micro Stock Cars are on in the morning, though I don't have an actual time for them. The F1s start at 1pm. There will be a couple of other races before that, starting 12.30pm.

The UK's 'best' venue on the loose for the most dramatic Stock Car Racing on the planet! Loomer Raod, built in 1973 may be one of BriSCA's most grass roots venues BUT it hosts the very best in action packed Stock Car Racing, you just haven't seen proper Stock Car Racing if you haven't visited Chesterton, known as STOKE due to being part of the famed five towns of the Potteries! Track and pit area wise the venue has undergone a £60,000 revamp with a brand new relaid track, remodelled infield and major infrastructure work in terms of drainage and other improvements - but there will be lots more to come in future seasons. However, no point being Daytona if what appears on the stage doesn't deliver, an area Stoke never ever fails to provide. Sunday 11th September sees the intense competition for the Silver Roof get underway - The drivers raced the first half of the season to make the 'cut' in NASCAR style! Over 100 drivers have competed the 2016 season and at the July cut off, as listed below the 12 drivers below made the final cut - and the scores are reset for a titanic battle across several rounds across the UK, the 11th being the first to be in the hunt for the Silver roof come the double point finale at Belle Vue on October 31st. This series has not yet since it's introduction, failed to deliver pulsating action and an intriguing final line up for the Grand Final - Over 40 BriSCA F1's are expected. But, that's not all! We are proud to host the 2016 Big One for the National Ministox, their Gold roof race and around the confines of Stoke and the unpredictability, it promises awesome action for these talented oval racing youngsters, the cream of UK Junior oval motorsport competitors. And, if all that wasn't enough, we have the V8 Stock Cars and nowwhere are they more 'alive' than Loomer Road! The stadium offers front straight elevated, terraced viewing and a covered Grandstand and raceview bar plus fast food. You can also spread out and picnic on the vast grass banks around the raceway and simply sit back and enjoy the racing [ bring your chairs + picnic for a great family day out! ] Easy access to the pits to get up close to the cars and stars and grab a few autographs! The F1 Shoot Out Contenders! 1 Frankie Wainman 16 Matt Newson 445 Nigel Green 212 Daniel Wainman 220 Will Hunter 318 Rob Speak 2 Paul Harrison 4 Dan Johnson 217 Lee Fairhurst 55 Craig Finnikin 150 Mick Sworder 84 Tom Harris

You're not wrong - this is the biggest turn out of all time ever.
