Stock Car racing at Odsal

Hi
Just a quick message to anyone who might be planning on going to this Saturday's Stock Car meeting at Odsal; due to COVID restrictions this is an all-ticket event restricted to a 4,000 maximum.
Tickets are on sale via the promoter (Startrax) website: https://shop.startrax.info/tickets
The first meeting back was certainly action packed

 

Tell me about it. There's one very bent 502 shale car to fix

 

@bailiff bridge bantam last nights meeting was a lot slicker. Started at 6pm and was wrapped up for 8.45pm. So I'm guessing the 37 team had chance to have a cheeky pint o wrap the evening up
Not as much damage as last time out but the track was much better and the organisation better. The promotion team put on a great show for the fans. I hope your nephew and his kids enjoyed it?

 

Tonight's meeting up at Odsal features 60 F1 stock cars for a World Championship qualifier.
There's a similar number of F2s also booked in. They're racing for the English Open Championship.
E-Tickets are still available online at https://shop.startrax.info/saturday-17th-july-2021

 

Great stuff. I hope you enjoy it. Should be a good one. I'm helping out on car number 3 (Chris Fort). I'll be wearing a grey 502 t-shirt so be sure to say hello if you see me. I'll get some 502 stickers for the your 9 year old
It's a shame you can't come into the pits. Otherwise your young un could sit in the car.

 

Nightmare start to the day. Hub went on back axle when loading the car on the truck. We fixed it when we got to the track. Only for the brake cable to go when he went out for heat1. Fixed in time for heat 3. No brakes but that didn't seem to matter! And then he bagged the final. I always knew Mal Brown 34 was a lap down.
Sheffield today. Hoping for the same again.
As for the cheque. No chance. How do make a small fortune in stock car racing? Start with a bigger one!

 

@bailiff bridge bantam another final bagged today at Sheffield!
Chris will get moved up to blue top now. The gradings of drivers is done during the season so if you do a few more meetings you'll see a few drivers roof colours change.
The car Chris was driving is owned by my mate 502 Ricky Wilson. Rick's a big City fan too so another reason to cheer him on as well as 'Forty'. Also the lad who had the spectacular rollover in the F2s is also a mate who I went to school with.
@Dratsab taf - yes it was a longer meeting than last time. Simple reason; more cars and more big crashes, which take time to sort out. Make sure to come along to the next meeting. Attendances at Odaal are currently capped at 4000 with zonal areas. It'll be much better when the restrictions are lifted and people don't have to pre-book tickets. I thought the crowd was a little down but the hot weather may have had something to do with that.

 

The next stock car meeting is Saturday 28 August. And then on Saturday September 11 it's the F1 World Championship Final. The biggest event in the Stock Car calendar.
But before all that there's a banger meeting on the 31st of this month. Featuring van bangers and 1600cc bangers
