I think one or two Stoxnet posters need to look at themselves in the mirror.
Here is the HYPE
Its at BV
WE have 29 Cars racing in F1
Its a NS round
The first race is 4pm
It will be a shake down meeting in terms of points with thrills and spills
Only some of the posters on Stoxnet will attend but they will all have a opinion
RR will be 5 as points will be deducted because its Cov on tour, it rained, the chips were cold and it was only saved by epic racing.
Great programme
Hot Trophies
Great crew on loan from Startrax with key Covstox people......................unstoppable combination
On TV
Cheaper than normal Coventry meeting
Of course all of this is brand new information that was not available and I would like to apologise for our web site not being updated at the start of the week
oh and I apologise for the web site had asked for it to be updated but did not check so good positive point but it would have been fixed earlier if you had sent me a pm or e-mail as I hardly ever read Stoxnet these days as Facebook seems to have taken over as the place to post and read.
sorry i'm a bit confused - do you actually want us to go? or is this meeting just for facebook people?

But 47 over 3 hts would be 2 of 16 and 1 of 15.nobody wants a 15 car heat. The original question was how many cars to take meeting from 2/3 to full format. It did not mention the actual format for 47 cars which would be 2 hts then consolation etc.
At least 48 which would be 3 hts of 16. Any lower and it's 2/3 format for me.
47 is lower than 48

serious question - are you allowed to take chairs in? or is it if you want to sit down then buy a grandstand seat?
also, what about taking food and drink in?

How many cars do you need to take a meeting from a 2/3rds fromat to a full three heats? You would think after all these years I would know this by now!
At least 48 which would be 3 hts of 16. Any lower and it's 2/3 format for me.
47 cars in 2/3 format would be over 30 cars per heat ?

Good to see 198 & 424 out for the first time this year - first time out for 380 for a number of months too.
Looks like 464 is giving the Shootout a good go this year.
think 380 only races at Belle vue

56 cars is a great turnout but with 24 in the semi it raises the question as to whether we have 2 potentially tame 16 car support heats or 1 action packed 32 car heat.
I know which option I and many others would prefer but what does the rulebook say ?
I am fairly sure I have heard it quoted before that 51 cars or more has to be 3 heats but does this still apply when 1 of the races has more than a third of the cars as in this case ? If a few cancel and the 51+ rule applies then we could end up with 2 × 13/14 car support heats.
Ive heard this but also heard that the numbers depend on the track
pretty sure Speaky will want the most exciting heat splits possible
he said he limited bookings at the weekender to make it big fields in each race instead of small fields over more races

Craig Tomblin is F2 driver 291.

Maybe this marks the last year for Wainman. Dad thinks so. I hope not!
I think it means his life in stock cars so far, not altogether. Looks like its by the same people that did the John Lund, Paul Harrison, Oval Kings, the F2 ones, so should be good.

Great book! And a good review of it as well!

is there a difference between the black and the blue covers? I think the black one looks better.

Thanks Jane and Nick for all the hard work. Much appreciated.

Buxton was way too long. Belle Vue is about normal these days.

Well done to Chris Forth, i was told that's his first ever final win?
No, it's his second, Chris FORT (not blaming you, perhaps spell checker?) won at Skeggy in 2008. To add to his many, many V8 Hotstox final and championship wins.

Thanks for the info It was the guy standing in front of me that told me it was his first final.
Getting the name wrong was my fault. but to be fair on the front of his wing it said Dave Hopkins!
Was the Skeggy the Mo Jones Trophy on the King Lynn post?

Based on previous years I'd estimate that there will be high 30s / early 40s. Either 2 heats or 2/3rds format. And more cars don't necessarily mean better racing.
These meeting previews have been on Stoxnet for a few years now, and as far as I can tell, they are updated with booking lists etc as soon as the information is made available. They really are superb, and are always the first place I look for info about upcoming meetings, whether I'm going to them or not. All the info you need and in one handy place. This is exactly the sort of thing that Brisca should be doing.
As there's no booking list on here yet, I'm pretty sure that it has not been released. And in any case, as I understand it, drivers only book in for meetings a week or so before, so the current booking list might well only have a dozen or so cars on it, and publishing that is more likely to put people off.

Has it changed name? It used to be called the UK Open? Or is that a different championship?
0 -
Sounds good to me !!
more than about 36 and you end up with two heats and a consi and the consi can be a bit low on cars so as strange as it sounds too many cars can be a bad thing!!

Maybe a full weekend away from home just isn't practical for him?
There's no camping at either track so where does everyone go in between Birmingham and Hednesford?
Last year I saw a fair few transporters parked up at Premier inn

so that is 26 cars so far - more than the christmas meeting and that was a cracker!

The OFFICIAL poster on the SKEGNESS WEBSITE says it's a weekend of F1 F2 Saloons and Micra Bangers. But it isn't!
If that's a mistake then why haven't they changed it?
0 -
Can you confirm if the saloons are on Saturday please

Apart from World Finals that must be one of the biggest turnouts at Cov ever?

What's the reason for the low turnout?

OppositeLock! Wow, that brings back some memories.
Same here. I used to look at that at college, until they blocked it! Seems almost half a lifetime ago...

Belle Vue - Sunday 8th October 2017

i will explain why I was confused
This is a post about an upcoming meeting. There is usually one of these for every meeting. I think they are superb and are the first place I look for info
a few people have commented on the lack of detail compared to normal
You appear to be annoyed that people actually want to know about YOUR meeting
you have been rude about the very forum that advertises your meeting for free and the people that read that forum
