Scunthorpe Trials
Dan Johnson, Peter Falding and Frankie Wainman Jnr tested out the Scunthorpe- Eddie Wright Raceway on Normanby Road on Sunday. Speculation by the Scunthorpe Telegraph reads it is hoped to have some meetings there next year. The BSCDA have confirmed that Scunthorpe have entered an application to the BMB for this track to be considered for an F1 Meeting in the future. The appllication will be dealt with as a matter of routine. Obviously there will be speculation but at present this is the situation.

SheffStox goes red
As from Coventry, SHEFFSTOX goes red courtesy of Andy Ford who will be promoting this website on his wing. Andy is now up to star grade after a great start in F1's along with fellow F2 convert Jonathan Gibson and V8's Chris Fort.

VENRAY
There appears no way back for Venray. The next plan is for indoor racing inside an enormous multi-purpose stadium. The enormous extractor fans are already installed and the whole project sounds incredible. If this comes off you'll need to get your earplugs out.

LOCHGELLY
A new track is planned for Lochgelly. Hopefully it will be ready before Racewall is turned into a supermarket. Read questionairre answers here.
