Really enjoying the recent run of interviews featuring Roger, Andy and Nigel - a great level of depth and focus on the racing. I'm not sure if you have time to take requests from everyone but an interview with Joe, Dave and Geoff Nickolls would be fantastic and there's a huge range of questions to ask them!

Didn't realise that the Cons Semi was such an excellent grid - will be looking forward to seeing that race. Reds and Superstars will have to work hard!

Great to see 451 Martin Spiers booked in - over the past few months there's been a few photos of his new car under construction and it's a fantastic looking bit of kit. Looks like it will be straight in at the deep end with a Cowdie debut, and I hope it goes well for him and the team.

Great booking list which probably translates to 50 cars on the night. Two good heats. Weather looking good too.

Cheers Stu, on first glance I thought it was this car, but can see now that they're different. http://photos.stoxnet.com/displayimage.php?pid=60253

Nic - 431 Ian Bond has been a registered driver for a good few years, but has only raced occasionally. First car was an older-style car with no wing and a turquoise/black paint job. He's from Weston-Super-Mare I believe. He has spent a few seasons building a new tarmac car so I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Really looking forward to this meeting. Nic - there's a pic of #80 in the Mildenhall gallery - pic no.12. I think he might have the ex-440 Craig Aston car?

Belle Vue - Stu Smith has a healthy lead over the chasing pack in the shoot-out so it will be interesting to see if the other drivers can narrow his lead, and what tactics they'll take to try and do so. Also Steve Mallison is a very good driver so would be a very welcome addition to F1. The Josh Smith car seemed to sell very quickly so I did wonder if it was Steve who bought it, but the preview says he's in F1 for a couple of meetings so I guess it's a borrowed car.

Firstly, does it take that much longer to copy and paste the same info to FB and Stoxnet so all bases are covered. Secondly, two posts on FB stand out in my mind among many that are similar; one fan's two-word constructive feedback was that the WF meeting was "utter w**k" and another was from a fan who explained how any potential new driver would be "insane" to consider entering the sport. And yet people claim this kind of stuff does no damage to the sport! I'm with Steve Rees on this one, there is so much spirit-crushing negativity around we'd all be better off putting our phones away.

Unmissable! Thanks for the updates, Carl. I think this meeting will be very popular with midlands and southern-based fans like myself, who have been unable to go to many meetings in the absence of Coventry. It will only be my second F1 meeting of the year.

Great numbers. I guarantee that releasing that number through the booking list will convert to more fans through the doors - and helps encourage fans from further afield as Rex B mentions above. I don't mind meetings of 30-35 cars, but for me it's great to see 30+ grids in Finals and Grand Nationals, and a meeting with a 50-60 car turnout is more likely to build up to that - so the best races of the night are action-packed and under the lights. I don't think that makes me any less of a fan for saying that.

Sorry you feel that way, Beaks. I'm perhaps in the opposite situation - really enjoyed Birmingham and positive about the racing, but suffering from a lack of tracks geographically feasible to get to, and looking at some empty Saturdays on the fixture list wishing there was a meeting on.

Thanks Carl, that's a pretty accurate booking list then.

Just out of interest, how many F1s' raced at KL on Saturday?

It's hard to track who might have been at Coventry but isn't at Kings Lynn, and who the "Coventry only" drivers are/were. For example, I'm pretty sure I saw Craig Aston's car pictured at NIR on a test day in the hands of , but if it was his car and he has sold up, who's to say how much Coventry's closure had in his decision? Who are we talking about when we say "Coventry only" drivers?

Thank you Premier - I hadn't spotted that. Recent change?

If you're including #215, don't forget it's Geoff Nickolls, not Nicholls! Sorry for being off-topic but his name seems to have been mis-spelled by Stock Car Magazine since 1978...

Due to an upcoming house move I am looking to sell my collection of F1-related magazines. This is an excellent opportunity to obtain a LOT of history about F1 stock car racing! I can bring these to most Coventry F1 meetings and of course the World Final meeting at Kings Lynn. Alternatively they can be collected from Bristol. All are in good condition. Stock Car Magazines (124 copies): 1974 - April 2000. A dozen or so from the seventies, the rest are from 1987 onwards. StockCar Pictorials: both published pictorials from the 1990s.

Another superb report Carl, excellent to read from my point of view as I didn't go to the meeting. Joe Booth has won on shale before; he won the GN at the horrendously wet Coventry meeting.

If you don't have much success locally then I can vouch for "All Audi" in Bristol, have used them myself before and service was good and prices fair. Am sure they would arrange delivery if req'd. http://www.allaudi.co.uk/ Good luck!

Aylott and Biddulph book now spoken for.
