Birmingham 21-11-09. The meeting Final, and also the final race of the 2009 season. Without any shadow of doubt, easily the best race of the night, if not the year. The drivers certainly looked like they wanted to see out the 2009 season with a real show for the fans… and they didn’t disappoint. With his engine problem fixed, Stuart Smith Jnr is back on track. Keen to make up for missing his heats earlier, Smith waste’s no time in dishing out the front bumper, which has seen so much use ……

Birmingham 21-11-09 Grand National Championship meeting. The last meeting on the Brisca F1 fixture for 2009, and what a way to bow out ! The meeting looked likely to be a washout, however with the rain stopping just before the meeting got under, the fans were treated to some good old fashioned Stock Car Racing. The meeting started with the Grand National Championship and 23 cars took to the very slippery track. Without completeing a lap, a gaggle of cars slid into the turn4 Armaco casuing ……

Coventry 5-9-09 GN Easily the best race of the meeting, and for most, this was the last shale race before the World Final meeting. Wainman Jnr finds himself spun out of contention within a couple of laps. Tim Farrell, with the bit between his teeth, dishes out some front bumper, but his escapades are brought to an abrupt end after a tangle with Mark Woodhull. Stu Smith Jnr was clearly on a mission, but ran out of laps before he could catch race winner Steve Cayzer and runner-up NZ1 Malcolm ……

Coventry 7-11-09 Ht2. With the grid made up with Yellow and Blue grades, the guys on-track put on a real show with the season drawing to a close. Some pretty hefty bumper-work being dished out, there was plenty of action to be seen. 302 Jim Bamford was unfortunate to clip an in-field tyre, and with a tap from Neil Scothern, barrel rolled entering turn1. Plucky Bamford landing on all four wheels, then fired up his motor, and tried to re-join the race, but as the Yellow Flag’s had been thrown ……

Last race of the night was a special Racer’s Bonus Race. Any driver having won a race at any meeting throughout the 2009 season, was eligable to enter. With 12 cars taking to the grid, and £1000 up for grabs, it was anyone’s race… Frankie Wainman Jnr continued to have the bad luck of recent weeks, and with having trouble with his own car, took to using brother Danny’s car for this race, only to score yet another DNF. The £1000 purse certainly grabbed the drivers attention… Plenty of ……

Question posted on Brisca F1 Stock Car Forum, After the race is brought under caution, ex-F1 racer 293 Nick Houghton leads the re-start, but what happened and who won ? I will upload the race to answer the question in the near future……

The race was brought under caution to assist Mark Clayton who had crashed out in turn1. Ex-F1 Racer Nick Houghton leads, Frankie Wainman Jnr, Garry Utley and Andy Smith on the re-start. Wainman passes Houghton with Smith following, Smith takes a lunge at Wainman and goes wide, allowing Houghton back through into second. Houghton sees a chance to take back the lead, and piles Wainman into the stranded Clayton car. Going into the last lap, Houghton goes a little wide, allowing Smith to pass on ……

Birmingham 22-8-09. The meeting Final from Birmingham Wheels. Stuart Smith Jnr meant business in this one. Carl Pickering fancies his chances to snatch back the lead, and punts SSJ wide going into turn1. However, this was short lived and the compliment re-paid one lap later. Andy Smith also had trouble passing Pickering when he eventually caught up with him, and lost a lot of ground dealing with the Yellow grade racer. A great race, from a great venue….
