On the BSCDA site, the full result of the British is subject to a steward's inquiry.

On a sad note, 11th June 1983 was also the day that Richy Ahern lost his fight for life.

I was about to go and get my Nigel Anderson & Guy Parker book and look up Conington, but the man himself has saved me the job.

Some moments of stox history that took place on 11th June over the years, all courtesy of the superb BriSCA F1 Stox website. Saturday 11th June 1955 A team race event was held at Norwich, where George Foulger (29i) won 3 races, including the final. No other results are known. Saturday 11th June 1960 Fred Mitchell (38) won the final at Long Eaton. Monday 11th June 1962 Back than, as now, Bank Holiday Monday meant Belle Vue, and Johnny King (6) won the final. Saturday 11th June 1966 The race winners at Harringay were Alan Wardropper, Les Mitchell, Alan England, and Ian Ireland in the heats, and Peter Guinchard in the final. This was the days before SCOTA/Spedeworth... Sunday 11th June 1972 Stu Smith won heat and final, and placed third in the GN at Snetterton. Willie Harrison (2) did slightly better at Aycliffe, winning heat, final, and GN. Saturday 11th June 1977 Dave Taylor (30) won the Notts & Derby Trophy at Long Eaton. Sunday 11th June 1978 Yellow top Sam "Fozzie" Frater won the Consolation at Hartlepool, one of four career race wins, all of which were in 1978. Saturday 11th June 1983 Stu Smith won the final at the World Qualifying round at Blackburn. At Long Eaton the same night, Bert Finnikin won heat, final, and the "Half Crown Dash" - whatever that was! Saturday, 11th June 1988 Pat Northcliffe (336) won the final at Long Eaton, his first and only. Sunday 11th June 1989 A "different" meeting format at Hednesford for the European Championship, with John Lund taking the title and Peter Falding winning the meeting final. Saturday 11th June 1994 The Grand Prix Series round at Long Eaton saw a first ever race win for Dave Willis (337), and a heat and final double for Rob Cowley (73). Sunday 11th June 1995 Neil Long (79) was at the very peak of his F1 career, taking two heats and the final at Northampton. Sunday, 11th June 2000 Consolation and final double for Peter Falding at Buxton's World Qualifier. Saturday 11th June 2005 FWJ won the Scottish Championship at Cowdie. And finally, one that's not from that website... Wednesday 11th June 2003 Stoxnet went live. The first ever post was by Stoxnet's creator, Daniel, and just said "A new forum... but will it stay here? Who knows..." That was 13 years ago. Yep, Stoxnet is now a teenager

Startrax have released the following:- 2016 BriSCA F1 NORTH OF THE BORDER! The RACEWALL, Cowdenbeath - Saturday 25th June Sunday 5pm LOCHGELLY RACEWAY - Sunday 26th June 12.30pm Startrax and Spedeworth / Incarace in collaboration with GMP and Hardie Race Promotions have once again collaborated to bring the BriSCA Formula Ones back to Scotland as part of a commitment to try and create a biennial visit appreciating the huge welcome and support the sport enjoys North of the Border, and as a tribute to the Scottish race fans who regularly travel South to see the formula. Visiting Scotland has always been something "special" for BriSCA fans and drivers, and 2016 is expected to be no different, indeed indications are that numbers will increase in terms of F1 drivers over 2014. The contrast of venues adds to the intrigue, with the high octane and gladiatorial atmosphere of the cauldron of passion that is the Racewall to the stunning and superb modern oval racing facility created by HRP at Lochgelly and track dynamics with superb viewing and track side parking. Saturday Night Thunder at The Racewall Cowdenbeath sees an explosive BriSCA package and Startrax have worked hard with GMP to bring National Saloons on board with National Ministox and BriSCA F2 Stock Cars to ensure a fantastic and unforgettable night at the Racewall, with afternoon entertainment provided with the StoxKarts! Saturday has a full house BriSCA format and we thank GMP for their co-operation. The atmosphere on its night at Cowdenbeath is unrivalled and Fife is going to rock! BriSCA F1 wise sees the traditional and coveted Scottish Championship title decided, as well as World Championship Qualification points are stake, even more vital as we get to the stage where every point counts! After meeting, all roads head the short way to HRP's constantly improving and hugely impressive modern facility at Lochgelly Raceway for a fantastic "after meeting party", where drivers can park up and simply enjoy the late night bar and have excellent facilities Sunday morning together with facilities for repairs. Day two sees Sunday's main event action at Lochgelly Raceway, and gets underway at 12.30pm with BriSCA F1 and again, a vital World Qualifier, together with Spedeworth's extremely lively 1300cc Saloons, National Ministox, and StoxKarts Don't forget that the party starts for early visitors at Lochgelly on the Friday at 7pm with a race meeting, and of course you may park there and enjoy the facilities before going to Cowdenbeath. It is a credit that four promotions have combined to create this weekend once again and make it happen.

From Trackstar The big talking point about this weekend’s meeting is whether 515 Frankie Wainman Jr can become the first man to win three consecutive finals at King’s Lynn. Given his form to date, you wouldn’t bet against him. If Wainman can pull off this feat and go in the history books he will be rewarded with an enhanced final winners pot of £1000 - will it be a grand in the hand for Frankie on Saturday? The final will also have enhanced poignency with the Mo Jones Memorial being staged - a race in memory of the popular wife of Pit Marshall Gary Jones which was won last year by 150 Mick Sworder! FWJ’s brother 212 Danny Wainman, with his new car, and son 555 Frankie Wainman Jr Jr will also be targeting success, as will 2016 first-time superstar 445 Nigel Green who clearly means business this year. Other than Wainman, race wins last time out (four weeks ago) went to 280 Colin Nairn, 244 Mick Rogers, 127 Austin Moore – who looked very impressive from the white grade – 198 Nigel Whalley and 446 Joe Booth. All except Moore and Whalley had confirmed their bookings at the time of writing and will be hoping for repeat performances – or better! – this weekend. Others to have caught the eye so far in 2016 include young guns 25 Bradley Harrison and 28 Thomas Boyer, whose careers appear to be on rapidly climbing trajectories, 166 Bobby Griffin and 169 Billy Johnson. But, as is always the case with these unlimited-power, earthshaking V8 monsters, anything can happen on track – and usually does! All of the fun of the fair will be at the Adrian Flux Arena this Saturday with the return of the Fun House which contains lots for the kids to go on before the meeting and during races. The good news for mum and dad is that it is free for kids to go on and they can go on it as often as they like!
