Shane H57 & Kinton #213 have joined the F1 & F2 ranks and have been quite successful with both winning
heats in both formula and Kinton winning an F2 Final first time out. Both have been upgraded, see what they
have to say inside.
F1 & F2 British Championship are concluded for another season, with a surprise winner in F1 and a closely
fought race in the F2’s! More Inside.
European Championship Races are next in line in July for both Formulas. Different formats used for each race
but both at Northampton New – Who has what it takes to win?
Phil #17 becomes the third F1 driver in as many months to go from Blue to Superstar. Neither Counter #255 nor
Mav #85 managed to hold Superstar for longer than a month so will Phil manage it? We wish him well.
Josh #39 & Ginger #482 have both had good outings in June which has seen them rocket to Superstar for July.
Josh won the Scottish Championship at Newtongrange, becoming the 2nd driver to win the Scottish at Nitten
under no.39, (LeeK being the other) taking the title off Mark #147 who won it at Lochgelly in 2016.

MAN OF THE MEETING
F1 UK OPEN
CHAMPIONSHIP 2017
COVENTRY – 14th JUNE 2017 – 27 Cars
Seven heats with each driver appearing four times determined the 2017 British Championship grid. The 24 highest points scorers + two non point scorers lined up
in points order. Phil #17 took the honour of being on pole, after 4 strong heats. Kinton #213 and Shane #H57 were in the top 11 despite being whites, but
they were surrounded by Reds and Superstars. Top yellow was Chris #21 on the 8th row, as Macca #3 didn’t grid on the 7th row. Towards the rear of the grid
were the red of Superfinn #55 and Superstars Ant #80 & Mav #85 just behind.
21 laps to determine the 2017 British Champion commenced after the customary “Gentlemen – Start Your Engines!!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The 26 cars rolled around the raceway until the “GO” was given. For the cars towards the rear of the grid this was in turn 2 which caught a few out on the
inside, as they powered off straight onto the kerbs, losing them control. Daveyboy #1 missed the “GO” and was buffeted from all sides eventually spinning
out into turn 3 fence. As this was happening, Chris #21 was caught on the inner kerb, not able to get off or slow enough before flying across the bend and
collecting Owen #66 and Mark #147, putting all three onto the dog track. Bathy #81 pushed Martin #400 wide and slipped through. As Martin pulled it round,
Simon #285 went on his inside and as they exited the bend Chevy #316 powered out on their inside. He forced Simon across into Martin who went up the
armco. Chevy too slammed into the armco and the ricochet sent him across the track and onto the inner kerbs. They threw him off to the turn 1 fence and out
of contention. Martin was still trying to get all four wheels back on the ground and thanks to Ironmac #288 he did. Bathy was now well clear of Phil in 2nd.
Simon passed Phil, and was looking forward to the chase to Bathy when Phil put in a return hit, delaying them both, putting them back into the chasing pack.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next few laps Mav was able to catch and pass Martin, Simon & Phil to take 2nd, with Counter #255 following behind. Drivers were circulating trying to gain
places allowing Chevy & Davey to catch the leading pack. However Chevy’s race came to an end after battling with Ant #80, when he hit an almost stationary
car and spun out once again. Counter put in a few quick laps and passed Mav, but Mav wasn’t going to give in and returned with a hit that put Counter back to
race with Ironmac. Martin and Simon took the opportunity to pass Mav, this time without reply. Up front Bathy was keeping it clean and the lead was being
maintained. Martin tracked Simon right to the last bend, putting a telling hit to take 2nd. Mav was able to stay in front of a fast moving Davey, with Ant, Iron,
Counter and Phil still sorting out the remaining places. However up front Bathy had an untroubled race and crossed the line to become the

HOW WAS IT FOR THE DRIVERS?
MAX #160
BATHYBOY #81 – 2017 BRITISH CHAMPION
MACCA#3
Heat 1 got drilled into the fence, rejoined
and finished 11th Heat 2 got drilled into
the fence, rejoined and finished 11th again.
Heat 3 not so good but steady away
finished 13th. Heat 4 no banger racer in
this one feeling good, got my best result
7th that’s made my meeting, well happy,
made it onto the grid in my first season .
Onto the British I was gridded behind Mav,
okay just follow Mav I say to myself and I
should get a decent position. Well first lap
I’m behind Mav and we both hit a stranded
Davey, game over for me, however I
managed to keep going all be it in last
place. the rest of the race was very
enjoyable with myself Ash 492 and Tom
293 trading places all fair and good fun. to
sum up All good fun 10/10
Great night, chuffed to bits to win a final and roof in F1 after years of trying.
Didn't fancy outside 2 when I was called up, but got a good start, took the lead
and it all fell in to place. Didn't really see anyone else for the first 10 laps or so.
Thanks to the back markers that I came across, all moved over or took each
other out ahead of me. Would have been straightforward if I wasn't so excited /
terrified I was going to mess it up.
British was eventful happy with my win in
heat 2 but internet beat me and turned
itself off bit off the pace but happy overall
with performance things can only get
better
DAVEYBOY #1
The heats were what I expected, not much
going on during them until the last heat
having a good battle with Chevy before
planting him in to get away! The British
race itself was a major let down due to
myself as didn’t see the green flag and just
got pushed about then next thing I know
I'm facing the wrong way. Once I got going
again I just went for it, avoiding all the
crashes and some how ended up 5th which
I was pleased with due to the start.
RIC O’SHAY #145
CHRIS#21
Spent a lot of time on a setup trying to get
it on pace eventually I managed it. Was
going well in all heats until I hit a stranded
car and ended my race for the top 10
places. Tried to get going again only to be
taken out again , in the final I made good
places only to be caught out by a car in the
middle of the track which ended any hope
for me frustrating but enjoyed the whole
meeting well done bath great drive.
With a lack of track time due to
personal reason I was always
up against it, new game pad
and about 30 others was going
to be hard for me to win it. 2 ok
heats 1 really bad heat and a
4th place put me mid way on
the grid. The final well the
rolling lap went well and then it
went down hill very fast.
PJ #250
The heats were hard with a few take outs
in the first two. Got better in heat 4, led
but lost out. Went well in heat 6 finished
top 5, hard to keep top lads behind. British,
near the back looking to get a good start,
was up in the top half but after a mistake
and a good fencing, I park up and watch
the race. Bad start, good mid, crap end!
FINN #55
Sat in bar with blown engine
IRONMAC #288
British meeting was far better
than I expected got a 2nd 4th
and 5th outside row for final
never the best got poor start
forced out wide then duel with
255 finished 7th so pleased
overall and a great meeting
JOHNC#53
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience
from start to finish. The rising excitement
and expectations and practice leading up to
the night and especially the banter
between racers. Nice to be able to get
somewhere near to be able to race along
with the others (some of the time) gives
me more enthusiasm to try and crack on
with the improvements in handling and
speed. And a new champ. Really pleased
for Bathyboy. All in all cant wait for next
time. And not forgetting Chevy and his
team for the really well run evening.
Congratulations to all involved.
MARK #147
Heats were disappointing for me, Into orbit
and over the fence in the British 1st bend,
Game over.
ANT #80
Buried by Mav in Heat 1. Quite steady with some good battles next 3
heats. Started 19th in final. Finished 6th with a decent battle with

HOW WAS IT FOR THE DRIVERS? (Part 2)
TOM #293
MAV #85
JB #2
This being my first big meeting I wanted to
get good results but I was more concerned
with consistency so I raced steady. Heat
format was brilliant made it so everyone
had a fair chance. The racing was very clean
and fair not what I expected .Maybe prior
meetings people were just putting there
stamp on to say mess with me and this is
what I can do . If I had any gripes it's only
with myself could have just gone that bit
faster . Onto the big race I duly lined up at
the back of the grid looking ahead I just
thought don't do anything daft just go for
decent laps I knew I wasn't going to win but
I knew I could go the distance. The race
itself from my point was to keep out the
way of faster cars and race my own race .
That race line is a narrow band when
everyone wants to be on it. In the closing
stages of the race I found myself battling
with Ashley 492. We had a great few laps
with a dash for the line with Ash just
pipping me for the place ..race over and yes
I'm pleased with myself for just racing my
own race and not wrecking it for others .
Don't get me wrong this is Stock Car Racing
and we all know what to do when that
times comes !!!.....One last thing can I just
say thank you to all involved in running the
meeting absolutely brilliant job and well
done to all racers...
I didn’t expect anything from the heats with everyone being in front of me.
Worked on a setup, but this got worse as the meeting went on and my results
showed. Went back to basics for the British, nothing to loose and just drove. I
couldn’t believe I hit 2nd and I didn’t want to loose it, hoping Bathy would make
a mistake. Disappointed to end up 4th after being so close again but thought
the meeting was a great success – Well Done all involved and Well Done
Bathy!
"Dunno why but always seem to struggle
for pace at Cov, so going from Blue knew
was gonna struggle, heats were about what
I expected, highlight being stealing a 3rd
out the last bend from Iron & Counter.
Come the final itself got drew mid pack on
the outside so didnt expect much, got
through the first bend melee relatively
unscathed only to overdo it out the corner
and drift the back corner into the fence and
lose a lot of tume. Towards the end of the
race was having a gd battle with Kendo &
Chevy, trying hard to grab 10th and, 2 to go
put a hard hit on Chevy, and chase kendo
hard, coming out of turn 4 to start last lap
and Kendo is within reach when Bathy
slipped up the inside and crossed the line
keeping me 11th, gutting end to a relatively
poor night"
ASHLEY #492
SIMON #285
The night was a disaster just couldn’t get
going was close to loading car up but still
started Heat 1, Lap 1 to the final lap of the
British with a smile! .
Heats were tough going, but happy
to have won one. British I wanted to
win and my one mistake was
allowing Phil to get in a hit, when I
broke through into 2nd. I felt I
could’ve caught Bathy had that not
happened.
Congratulations Bathy! .
KINTON #213
The British was amazing my first
championship and to qualify on the inside
on the 2nd row it was amazing. A great run
meeting by the admin. The heats was
challenging but amazing.
MARTIN #400
It was the best online meeting I’ve
raced in. Loved every minute of it ...
British race didn’t go my way but had a
superb race with Simon right up to the
last bend and I’m very happy for
Bathy! Top drives from Mav and Ant to
be well placed in the final.

HOW WAS IT FOR THE DRIVERS? (Part 3)
COZY #522
COUNTER #255
My 1st Major Chanpionship race - started row 9 I think - spent hours trying to get a good quick setting
but that all goes out the window when the flag drops! I gave a few big hits as the norm but had a decent
race all in all - could have gone better if I’d have got into my rhythm but pleased to have been part of
this race, room for improvement I know- can't wait for the Scottish Championship in a few weeks !
Firstly, many congratulations to Bathyboy for a fine and deserved
win in the British meaning he needs to do more meetings to show
off the the black and white roof. I had no expectations of doing
well as I'm still struggling from red, not really fast enough in the
F1s yet, so I was focused on just trying to finish my races, so was
happy with scoring points in each of my heats from red. The
average finishes gave me a start in the middle of the pack around
11th and I was very surprised to find myself in 3rd within a few
laps. I was chasing down Mav who was around 2 - 3 secs ahead
and I managed to close him down within a few laps, gave a gentle
tap to pass and was now in a surprising 2nd place. By this time
Bathy was way ahead, I couldn't even see him, so tried to settle
for a good race for a podium place. The line I had around
Coventry meant keeping tight which unfortunately made me a
sitting duck for dive-bombs and Mav decided to take this
approach rather than race for the position leaving me in the
fence. By the time I extracted myself out of the fence I was now
way down the field, red mist in my eyes and the first car I came
across was Ironmac and I gave him quite a big hit for position.
Unfortunately he took umbridge at the force of the hit and right
turned me into the fence on the next straight, sending me further
down the field.
I finished the race in 8th which is where I had hoped to finish
before the meeting started, so reasonably happy, although I am
looking forward to the next Championship race to repay Mav for
not trying to race for position!
PHIL #17
OWEN #66
I went into meeting with little expectations but stayed out of
trouble in the heats where luck seemed to be on my side, come
final time I was surprised to be on pole.
When the race got going I lost the line a bit and got caught up
with a lot cars and that slowed my progress a bit. My 9th place
finish was a bit disappointing but I enjoyed the nights racing.
Good in heats, car was good and
gained a decent grid position for
the British Final . Ended in a turn
one pile up but came back to 13th.
Really happy with my drive back to
13th. Really enjoyed the meeting
despite the crash.
KENDO #192
Meeting went well I thought although for some reason I thought I was a blue so, not sorting the game
out before Wednesday to see that I was a red roof was a bit of an unwelcome surprise.
Coventry is one of those tracks that if you get caught on the outside then it can take a few laps until you
can force your way back onto the racing line but in those laps it's common to lose a host of places and
loads of time on the leaders.
That's kind of how my heats went including one that I was in about 3rd just tootling behind Bathy and
got a hefty whack from the blue that I had just passed - by the time i was out of the Armco the s/s train
was in full swing so ended in about 8th or 9th.
Think I started the Brits outside row 5 (ish) and decided for the nice tootling approach for the 1st bend
expecting a shove from behind but it didn't really come but there was a shove in front and found myself
in about 4th ish on the exit of the 1st bend for a couple of laps.
Came across H57 who's car was just a brick wall when I hit it so struggled to get passed him and when
he hit me I went in the fence so a bit annoying but was still good fun - I even traded fair blows with
Simon!
Massive well done to Bathy
SHANE #H57
Was a nice meet, well organised but a little bit late for a

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
KINTON #213 & SHANE #H57
* F1 & F2 Newbies *
Not very often do you get two new drivers who start later in the season and win
straight away! Both have won Heats in F1’s, Kinton has won an F2 final first time out
and both are going well in the F1 & F2 Whites & Yellows Series.
What are you connections to Stock Car Racing? Driver, Mechanic, Spectator or a friend of a friend.
KINTON #213
I love to watch Stock Cars. I went to my first meeting
when I was about 6 weeks old and have been going to
Coventry ever since then. I race 1/8th Stock Cars as a
hobby and I went to Paul Hines wedding reception and
let real F1 stock car drivers race my car.
SHANE #H57
I am a true Stockcar fan and was a big fan
of the Stockcar H57 Theo van Lier.
I have spent my whole life in Stockcar
Racing. I am now a photographer at Venray.
You have taken to the league very well in both formula, How are you finding the league so far Easier than you thought, about right, or its hard but you are coping?
KINTON #213
The league is very challenging!!!!
Great people race and Great people run the
meeting.
SHANE #H57
I think it’s a great league! It is easier from
white but I can’t wait to be a higher grade
to get more of the challenge!

* F1 & F2 Newbies *
Following on from that you may well be upgraded next month to yellow or even blue; How do you
feel about starting from there?
KINTON #213
I love a great challenge!!!
SHANE #H57
As I said previously, I am looking forward to
the next challenge. It is going to be harder.
Now that you are known to the rest of the league, what are your aims for the end of the season?
KINTON #213
My aim for the end of the season is to get
blue and stay blue till the start of next year.
Then next year I will be aiming higher 
SHANE #H57
My goal is to have some fun races. I don’t need
a Championship on my name or a lot of points. I
do this for fun not to be the best 
Which driver has caught your eye from either F1 or F2?
KINTON #213
Shane is a great racer won many races in
the F1s. So we will have to watch him in the
future.
SHANE #H57
F1 its Daveyboy #1. The fastest one out. He
is a very nice guy and a respectful driver

Pole sitter Kendo #912 led into the first bend.
Chris #21 tucked in and pushed Kendo wide but
not enough to get by. Counter #552 and Jarry
#164 dropped in behind followed by Mark
#401. Chris tried again next bend and this time
was through, as was Mark on Counter and
Jarry. Several car lengths behind was defending
champ Davey #1 who had passed the mid pack
to start the chase of the leaders. Chris lead into
turn 1, lap 2. Kendo placed a hit on Chris, just
as Mark placed a bigger one on Kendo, forcing
Chris up the fence and Kendo very wide. Mark
now led. Jarry tried for the lead and failed, next
bend Counter tried for the lead and failed.
Mark survived. This all helped Davey who was
now up with the lead quartet. Next was Simon
#285 who had broken away from the mid pack.
Drivers had now found their rhythm and places
were static as the mid pack was beginning to
spread out. Simon passed Jarry but was
immediately removed from the race due to a
retaliation hit from Jarry. The ensuing crash
caused several drivers problems resulting in
drivers loosing gained places in the early laps.

Kendo re-took the lead. Cozy #522 delayed
Davey badly by trapping him on the outside,
allowing the front two to pull away. Next
bend Cozy was across the track, putting a
halt to Chris’ resurgence. The resulting crash
left Kinton #213 facing the fence on the exit
of turn 2. Mark was quick to spot and
pushed Kendo wide meaning Kendo’s
recovery line would head straight for Kinton.
Kendo swerved, clipped Kinton but was then
boxed in by backmarkers and Davey took 2nd.
Bathy #81 had worked his way back up the
leader board to contest 4th with Counter.
Bathy was soon past until Ric #145 & Cozy

enough for Adam #836 to pass. Bathy
regained the place leaving Adam & Counter
to fight over 5th. Up front Mark was clear to
claim the British Title and it took a last bend
hit from Kendo to take 2nd from Davey.

2017 F2 BRITISH CHAMPION – MARK #401
Heats were alright for me, Started off with the 1st heat where I didn't get finishing the race because my PC decided to
have a meltdown mid race and disconnected me, I wasn't in Heat 2 so this helped me fix my internet issues in good
time, The rest of the heats I got Top 5 finishes in so was happy with that, I knew Kendo would be on the front of the grid
somewhere and rightfully so on pole, I was actually quite surprised that I was 3rd row inside considering I didn't finish
the 1st Heat. I was sitting on the grid quite determined to win the title after losing my F1 Scottish Title on the
Wednesday night, I was fairly hopeful that I would be able to jump a few people ahead of me at the start of the British
and get into the top 3 in the first few laps and I done exactly that by getting myself into the lead of the race with Kendo
following closely behind, A couple of laps later and Kendo did a good shot on me and got past me, I returned the shot a
couple of corners later but this time there was a stranded car on the exit of the turn and Kendo hit it, This gave me a
1.5s lead, So I just kept a lookout of what was in front of me rather than in my mirrors and came home to take the win
with no real challenge from behind in the 2nd half of the race. I was delighted to win it and to add to my Euro title
which will be up for renewal soon lol – Cheers Mark #401

EURO CHAMPIONSHIP
AT NORTHAMPTON NEW – 19th JULY 2017
A one off race in a closed grid 22 car graded order start, always
delivers! Reigning Champion. Daveyboy #1, won the title at the
NIR New Raceway, can he retain it? It’s a wide open race, luck
may play a part, but in order to win it, you have to be in it!
DUTCH OPEN
AT TEXEL (HOLLAND) – 26th JULY 2017
A totally different racing experience sees the Dutch Open being
raced on an open field at Texel. Superfinn #55 won 3 races there
last season but sadly one wasn’t the Dutch Open Final. That
honour went to Daveyboy #1. If you want to win the title off
Davey then you best BE THERE!!!!

Defending Champion – Mark #401 won this title in his first
season with UKStockcars. Using a random grid, the race is
thrown wide open for any driver to win the title. However
Martin #400 impressive 62 Points haul earlier in the season
must make him hot favourite for the title. Best be there!!!

DAVE MARTIN
(AKA Superfinn #55)
As most of you know I was diagnosed with Choric Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (A disease of the lungs)
before Christmas and ever since I have been making big changed to my lifestyle to help improve my
condition by getting fit and healthy.
I have been making huge strides with walking and biking but now I have set my-self a bigger challenge of
biking from the clock tower in Leicester to the clock tower in Skegness........a total of 84 miles!!!!
Whilst this is a huge challenge for me, I am also keen on raising much needed funds for the amazing local
charity, Loros. I managed to raise a total £1,055 with is a fantastic amount.
So thanks all that have taken the time to sponsor me. Thanks! The ride itself took me 5.5 Hours.
FINN 55.
