27/09/09 - Marjoram Strikes and wins gold

Congratulations to Ben Marjoram #60 who tonight won the 2009 Superstox World Championship at Wimbledon Stadium.

2009 World Championship 36 Cars 35 Laps

69 got the jump on 482 as they crossed the line, and cut in front going into the first bend, behind them 60 put the bumper in on 482 which sent 60 offline and both 482 and 60 towards the fence.  As the cars come out of turn 2, it was 376 leading after 1 lap.  482 spun 23 on the pit bend and up front 161 had got past 376 and was now leading his first ever World final.  376 put the bumper in on 161 to re take the lead ahead of 60 161 and 36. 36 then put the bumper in on 161 to gain 3rd place.  While this was going on 4 and 114 collided with 4 going over the bonnet of the 114 car and ripped of the carb setting it alight with flame. 4 came to a stop on his roof!  114 was knocked out in his car, and as the flames increased it was a very scary sight.  The red flags came out immediately,    and staff on the infield was very quick to response with the fire extinguishers even running across the track before the cars had stopped.

As less than 5 laps gone the race was completely restated and all drivers were given 10 minutes to repair and damage to their cars.  At the second restart 69 once again got the jump on 482 and the latter put the bumper in hard on 69 who just managed to stay out of the fence.  60 took up the lead coming out of turn 2 and 69 went in with the bumper on 482 on the scoreboard bend.  As they crossed the line to complete 1 lap the top 5 were 60, 23, 69, 151 and 482.  69 put the bumper in on 23 going into the pit bend and went wide which allowed 482 and 151 up the inside coming out of turn 2.  151 got past for 3rd but as 482 went past he went over the wheels of 69 and both drivers who started on the front row were out of the race.  60 was now leading by half a straight to 23 and 151. 151 got past 23 on lap 3 to take up 2nd place, and 416 went in hard with the bumper on 4, and put 123 into the fence on the pit bend.  22 hits fence hard on the scoreboard bend on lap 5 and severely damaged the front of his car.  With the 22 car sat on the scoreboard bend, the Marshall was waving the red flag which appeared to slow some cars up, however the race continued.  60 was still leading upfront but 151 was starting to catch him and was closing the gap.  266 and 2 got tangled up and both hit the fence by the pit gate.  151 was now right with 60 and within striking distance, while in front of them 40 appeared to be dropping oil which slowed down the pace a little.  60 got past and motored on and extended his lead once again, while 151 got held up behind 40 and 124 and dropped back from the leader. 51 was now up 4th ahead of 391, 161, 36 and 136.   60 surely had a scary moment when 124 left the track for the infield right in front of 60 on lap 26.  With 5 laps to go 41 spun on the top bend and 391 made his move and put the bumper in on 51 to take 4th place.  60 went on to take a much deserved World Championship win, ahead of 151, 23 and 391.

Heat 1 – 31 Cars

60 and 151 decided to sit out of the heats and started stripping down their cars down for post race scrutineering.  With 2 laps gone 57 was leading 279, 540 and 242. 69 put the bumper in on 23 and sent him over 17’s smart new white HCD.  540 took up the lead on lap 7, but 3 laps later on lap 10 602 took up the lead ahead of 540, 57 and a fast 391. 391 was up to 3rd on lap 15 and on lap 17 put the bumper in on 540 to go 2nd.  Back upfront 602 held on to take the win ahead of 391 and 540.

Heat 2 – 27 Cars

540 and 484 went into the fence on the pit bend on lap 1, while upfront 57 took up the early lead ahead of 242, 602 (who failed to start at the back of the yellow grade following his win in heat 1), 118, 483 and 171.  136 put the bumper in on 69 on lap 5 and 118 was up to 3rd and 171 spun out on turn 2. 602 took up the lead on lap 9 from 57, 118, 36 and 95.  With now just 5 laps to go 36 was coming up fast and looking good for the win as he put the bumper in on 118 who hit 602, which allowed 36 past into lead.  602 was not finished yet however and re took the lead from 36 and 118 with 2 laps to go. 36 went in once again with the bumper on 602 on the pit bend, but spun and took himself out of the race.  This allowed 118 past to take the win ahead of 391 and 602 who held on for 3rd.

24/09/09 - Superstox World Championship Review

The main event on the Superstox Calendar takes place this Sunday evening at Wimbledon Stadium.  The World Championship is always eagerly looked forward to by all, but the question is will it be an easy win for Current World Champion?

Jason Cooper #482 has had a fantastic year, which has just continued on from the success he had last year.  This year Jason has won 23 races which is a quarter (25%) of the races that have taken place, and more than half of those wins have come in the finals.  This success has put him top of the points with 528 points and on Pole position for the 2009 World Championship.  With so much success this year and reliability, you can see why so many Drivers and fans think that Jason will just sprint off from the front of the grid and go on to win the World Championship for the 3rd time.

Shaun Brooker #69 will be alongside Jason on the front row and would surly like to Win the World Championship once again.  Shaun won the World Championship  in 2007 at a wet Wimbledon so he know what it take to win the race.  Shaun has had a successful year finishing 2nd in the points and winning 6 races, but has just been over shadowed by Jason’s form.  If he can stick with Jason’s pace he will be in with a chance of his second World win, otherwise he will be hoping the 482 car retires from the race.

Ben Marjoram #60 has had a very up and down year and I’m sure will be pleased with 3rd on the grid.  Ben started off the year well with 2 cars at his disposal and a win at Ipswich in April.  Just as the results started to pick up he was out of racing for a month or so, following a motor cycle crash that damaged his shoulder.  He was itching to get back out racing again and came back sooner than he was advised, at Northampton and was straight back in the results. Since his return, luck has still not been with him in Championships, usually drawing grid positions at the back of the grid, but still ending up in the results. Ben’s second win of the season came in June at Eastbourne.  This time he will be at the front of the grid, so all eyes will be on Ben at the start to see what he can do from here?  Ben has no problem in using the bumper so keep an eye on Ben at the start.  His Randall car has been sold so he will be using the ex, Russ William car that he rebuilt for last year’s World Final.  Question is can he win it?  If luck is on his side on Sunday then yes, but he will have to use the bumper to get past Jason and Shaun first.

Matt Carberry #23 will start the race from grid position 4 and has had his best year to date.  He has got to grips with the HCD Dozer over the last couple of months  and his European Championship, and subsequent wins from the back have proved he can win.  Definitely has the speed and car to win the race, but will just need to stay out of trouble in the early laps.

Colin Aylward #51 takes up grid position 5 in his new HCD Dozer.  Colin is still getting to grips with his new car that he debuted at Ipswich in July, and is still looking for his first win in the car.  Maybe this will come on Sunday night as Colin does like the Wimbledon track, but he will need some luck on his side too?

Steven Jackson #376 has qualified 6th on the grid and has had a quiet year by his usual standards.  If you have not had a look at the winners page you may be surprised to know that Steven has only won 1 race this year back in March at Yarmouth.  Compare this to 20 wins last year which was (18%) of the races that took place.  Steven was also out of racing for a Month after that terrible crash at Spedeweekend which resulted in the roof being cut off the car.  Maybe Steven’s Luck will change on Sunday night and he will get back to his winning ways?  He is still near enough to the front to win and I expect like Ben will be using the bumper from the off.

I personally think the winner will come from one of the top 6 on the grid, however there are still some fast chargers that we have not mentioned yet.

Billy Smith #161 starts 7th on the grid and has had a great first year in Superstox with 3 wins this year.  He is sure to be a World Champion one day but maybe not this year.

Nick Smith #151 is the Top Southerner on the grid in 8th.  Nick has recently been racing the Terry George Elite and has found more success in this car than his Carcraft.  Nick has also won 3 races this year and had a great race with Jason Cooper in the Final at Aldershot in July.  The car is reliable and up for the job so a top 3 finish is possible. 

Daniel Rutterford #4 is on grid 9 and has had another good year with 5 race wins.  All of these wins were at Yarmouth which is a track Daniel always goes well at.  If the World Final was at Yarmouth he would be one of the favourites. 

Dave Miles Jnr. #123 is the second highest southerner on the grid on grid 10.  Dave is another driver with 2 cars at his disposal however he tends to favour his older car to his new Elite.  Dave has won 6 races this year and tends to only race in the South and at Ipswich.  Maybe if he done a few Yarmouth meetings he would be higher up the grid?  Can be quick on the day and knows Wimbledon well so a top 3 finish could be on the cards.

From the rest keep an eye on Kevin Croxon #36 who has been going well of late.  Mark Smith #416, and Pip Williams #136 are both top drivers and start the race a fair way down the grid.  They will all be interesting to watch as they battle their way up the field.

Latest News is that Dan Smith #565 and Garry Sparks #612 have not booked in to race.  Therefore Sarah Cooper #483 and Nigel Reed #484 will be in the World Championship.

Let’s hope it will be a good race and the weather stays dry.  See you all Sunday J

The Superstox World final is fast approaching and is the main talking point around the tracks and on the internet at the moment.  As in previous years the grid for the World final will be formed with the highest point scorer (silver top) on pole position followed by the next highest in the point on grid position 2 etc.

19/08/09 - Eastbourne 19/08/09

22 cars raced at Eastbourne tonight which included yet another Smith.  To confuse you further its another John Smith #210, who is Sean Smith's #21 father.  There was a big crowd tonight and the racing was very fast with lots of pushing and shoving going on.  Matt Carberry #23 suffered damage in the heat and got the car repaired for the final, only to suffer yet more damage.  Jason Cooper took up the lead in the final and looked set for another final win, but a broken rear wheel guard saw the World Champion being black flagged and taken out of the race.

26/07/09 - Another Cooper Final at Aldershot

35 cars turned up for battle at Aldershot which is more than plenty for all in races around the tricky small track. Former Rookie Rod driver Michael Moore #466 made his debut in the formula in the ex Steven Jackson/Steve Lux Carcraft Superstox.

Heat 1 – 35 Cars

279 put the bumper in on 484 at the start and 124 spun over start line. Most managed to avoid him however 59 got hit somewhere in the incident and suffered a broken front right wheel. 383 and 41 both hit the wall on the turnstile bend and 40 was also in wall by pit gate. This first brought out the yellow flags then red and a complete restart was ordered.
59, 95, 41, 383, 540, 36 and 22 were all out for restart. This time everyone got away okay with 484 taking up the early lead. 60 retired to infield and 602 was in the wall by pit gate. Back upfront 279 was now leading 484, 171, 393 and 483. 116 was the top red top and was coming up the field well. 171 spun on pit bend and 116 seemed to loose power down the straight and slowed up, but then got going again but losing several places in the process. 136 came to a stop by the pit gate in front of 602 which partly blocked the track and out came the waved yellows.
The top ten were 484, 279, 393, 483, 176, 123, 21, 171, 53 and 482. 116 put the bumper in on 69 on the restart to take position. 123 was now up to 3rd place and challenging for lead and using the bumper on 279. The latter spun with 393 just managing to miss him but this allowed 151 up to 3rd. 565 and 118 both tangled while 123 put the bumper in on 484 going into pit bend to take up lead. 482 retired to the infield. 123 was still leading with 3 laps to go ahead of 151, 279, 21 and 484. 123 went on to take another win following his success at Ipswich ahead of 151 and 21.

Heat 2 – 34 Cars

Despite all the damage suffered in the first heat everyone made it back out again for heat 2 apart from Pip Williams #136.
41 got spun on the pit bend and got collected by several cars with 602 air born over her wheels. 17, 59 and 565 were all involved and this once again brought out the yellow flags.
At the restart 393 spun on the pit bend and got collected by 161. with 2 laps gone 484 was leading 171, 314, 176 and 403. 403 put the bumper in on 176 to go up to 3rd then on the next bend 383 put the bumper in on 176 who hit 403 with the latter and 383 both spinning out of the race, with 403 then getting hit by 59. This once again brought out the yellow flags.
171 was leading at the time but pulled off onto the infield. This promoted 314 into the lead for the restart ahead of 176, 540, 118, 53, 151, 21, 426, 95 and 482. 118 put bumper in on 540 and 176 to go up to 2nd . 176 tried to spin him around on the pit bend but 118 held on to 2nd place, with 53 now 3rd and 151 4th. 22 has loose rear wheel guard and was black flagged and 151 was now up to 2nd passing 118. 36 spun 161 who got hit by 22. 482 was now up to 4th place. With just 3 laps to go 151 was still leading ahead of 118, 482, 314 and 21. 482 put the bumper in on 118 to go up to 2nd but it too late to catch 151, who crosses the line to take the win ahead of 482 in 2nd and 118 3rd.

Final – 30 Cars

A few more cars were missing from the final (484, 393, 59, and 60). With 1 lap gone 279 took up the lead while 41 and 383 were both in the wall on the pit bend. 176 was 2nd 21 and 403 both spun around and 426 went over the wheels of 118. 279 lost the lead as he spun going over the start line, which handed the lead to 176 ahead of 171 then there was a gap of a length of the straight to 540, 53 and 483. 53 got past 540 and went up to 3rd place with 483 following into 4th place. 116 was now up to 6th but he now had the World Champion right behind him and using the bumper to push him wide. 482 then dropped back slightly which allowed 36, 124 and 151 all past. 41 then ran into the back of 383 on the turnstile bend and retired to the infield. 383 then followed her onto the infield shortly after, and ran into the back of her car as she was about to exit it. Back on track 176 was still leading 53, 36, 116, 151 and 482. 116 then hit the parked car of 602 on the pit bend, which brought out the waved yellows once again.
At the restart the top 10 were 176, 36, 151, 482, 53, 51, 22, 69, 540 and 483. 36 put the bumper in on 176 to take the lead but 151 got down the inside to take the lead with 482 following into 2nd and 36 now 3rd with 176 4th and 51 now up to 5th. The top 3 made the rest of the race very interesting as they matched each others pace, used the bumper and swapped the lead several times. When the 3 lap board came out it was 482 leading 151 and 36 and it was clear that one of these 3 would win the race. Now with just 1 lap to go 151 made his move and put the bumper in on 482 going into the turnstile bend to re take the lead. 482 however was not yet finished and once again made a very late, last bend lunge on 151 going into the pit bend and spun out 151, while behind 36 appeared to do the same on 482 and also spun out. As in the British Championship at Aldershot a few weeks back 482 once again done very well to control the car and take yet another final win ahead of 51 and 22.

Congratulations to Matt Carberry on winning the European Championship tonight at Ipswich.

European Championship 36 cars

266 17 22 176 4 40 540 41 426 116 21 565 161 151 171 416 60 686

540 slowed up on the rolling lap and pulled out of the race, while everyone else made it around the first bend okay. With 1 lap gone 23 took up the early lead ahead of 17, while behind them 266 spun 22 and 383 and 336 got caught up in the incident. 17 had now taken up the lead from 23, with a gap to 391 and a further gap to 482 already up to 4th. 4 put the bumper in on 36 to move up to 5th. 124 spun out and hit the oil barrels on the infield. Back upfront 17 and 23 were having a good race for the lead with 23 once again using the bumper on 17 going into the turnstile bend to re take the lead once again. With 5 laps gone 23 was leading 17, 391 and 482, who were all now bumper to bumper ahead of 4, 69, 136 and 36. The waved yellows then came out for 336 who was in wall by pit bend and 22 who was in the wall on turnstile bend.

On the restart 482 put the bumper in on 391 on the turnstile bend to take 3rd place. 17 and 23 continue their battle with the bumper but this allowed 482 to nip past up the inside down the home straight and take up the lead. The positions now were 482, 391, 17, 23, 69 and 136. 612 put the bumper in on 118, who hit the wall on the scoreboard bend. 69 got past 391 for 3rd while behind 136 was making a charge up the field in 5th place, then he put the bumper in on 391 to go up to 4th place. Behind 136 was 123 who was playing the waiting game with 136, as 123 was almost glued to the back bumper of the 136 car lap after lap. Meanwhile behind them 36 was going well and starting to catch both of them. 36 caught them and went in with the bumper on 123 who hit 136 with them both sent into a spin. 123 managed to keep going, but nearly collided with 391 and 60 in the process. Meanwhile 136 rejoined the race and got in the way of the leader (482). This forced the leader onto the shale track by the pit bend, and 23 went past him into the lead, with 482 rejoining the track on the turnstile bend. Now with just 2 laps to go 23 had a lead of 2/3rd of a length of a straight lead over 482 in 2nd. Time was not on side of 482, so 23 took the win, which was his first major Championship in the formula ahead of defending champion 482 and another former European Champion, 69 in 3rd.

Heat 1 - 38 Cars

Heat 1 – 38 Cars 114 took up the early lead, while the race was on for 2nd between 336, 176, 393 and 686. 123 put the bumper in 279 who hit the wall on the scoreboard bend. 114 was still leading after 5 laps by half a lap over 176 with 123 was coming up fast in 3rd. 393 retired with a puncture and 565 put the bumper in on 5, but instead 565 got collected and spun by 383 with both in the wall and hitting the stationery 393, which brought out the waved yellows.

The top 10 were 114, 176, 123, 36, 171, 4, 151, 540, 482 and 23. At the restart 123 was up to 2nd and then up inside of 114 to take up lead. 114 used the bumper on 176, meanwhile 36 was coming up behind fast and up to 2nd place, with 482 now up to 3rd place. 123 took the win ahead of 36 and 482.

Heat 2 - 32 Cars

118 spun around 41, and 686 and 6 tangled going into the scoreboard bend. After the first lap 336 was leading from 114, 540, 176 and 5. 114 once again took up the lead and 540 passed 336 for 2nd. 114 was leading 540, 176, 336, 5 then the blue tops of 21, 4 and 123. 124 spun out 136 and several get collected with 124 getting hit by 686 and the wheel of the 124 car coming off. Both cars were stranded just on inside of turn 4, which brought out the waved yellows.

114, 540 and 176 were all right behind the control car and almost pushing it around turn 4 at the restart, then there was a gap to 4, 36 and 21. 540 put the bumper in on 114 on the turnstile bend only for 114 to return the bumper on the scoreboard bend. This allowed 176 to take up the lead while 114 got some good drive coming out of the bend in 2nd. Further back 51 put the bumper in on 161 who rolled over the bonnet of 118 and back onto all 4 wheels. The young charger was clearly not fazed by his roll as he just fired it up again, spun the car around, and rejoined the race with the roof fin hanging off the back of the car. While this was going on 123 once again found his way to the front and won his second race of the night ahead of 36 and 4.

Some points of interest around cars at the Spedeweekend were Pip Williams out in his new car which looked similar to the car he built for Sean Smith. Nick Smith was using the Terry George Elite that was last raced by Michael Mallet. Finally 2 other drivers with new cars were Steve Such who has acquired the Ex Jason Cooper car and Phil Proctor in the ex Mike Walmsley/Dave Barber car. Luke Hamilton sat out of Sunday’s racing after still suffering from a bit of concussion following a crash on Saturday evening.

Heat 3 – 41 Cars

Everyone got away okay with 57 taking up the early lead. 403, 2 and 176 all ended up in the wall on scoreboard bend, and then there was a big pile up at the other end involving 60, 376, 482, 403, 40, 391, 161, 279, 17 and 114 which almost blocked the track. 57 had built up a good length of straight lead after only a few laps over 540 and 146, but then out came the waved yellows. 22 and 151 were also out. 57 lost the lead he built up and then got pushed wide by 540 on first bend of the restart to take the lead. 279 spun on the exit of turn 2 and 403 and 29 both hit wall on scoreboard bend, which brought out the waved yellows again for 29. The race was restarted very quickly which caught allot of the drivers out except for the first 4 who got away from the rest of the pack. 540 got pushed aside by 36 who took over the lead. The top 4 were 36, 540, 23 and 57. 171 got pushed onto to speedway track and hits marker tyres and went airborne. Back upfront 36 still led 23 with a gap to 540 and 57. 383 slowed up to a stop on turn 4 by the pit gate which brought out the yellow flags for a 3rd time. This time when the green flag dropped there were just 3 laps to go. 21 put the bumper in hard on 57 who went offline but controlled the car well to keep out of the wall. Despite being a lap down from the early pile up 482 was not hanging about and put the bumper in on 69 who went offline and hit the wall. Now with just 2 laps to go it was a dash to the line between 36, 23, 540, 51 and 21. 482 next put the bumper in on 21 who hit 51 with the latter hitting the wall and out of the race. Back upfront 36 held on to win his second race of the weekend with 23 2nd and 540 3rd.

National Championship – 37 Cars

After two races wins 36 was moved back to red grade for the National Championship. The clutch start caught 57 out who was very slow getting away and got hit from behind by 279. 146 took up the early lead ahead of 114. 21 put the bumper in on 602 which resulted in several cars in the wall on scoreboard bend. 161 and 376 collided by the pit gate and came to a stop, but were then collected by 17, which sent 376 spinning halfway down the straight. At the same time 483 rolled over 171 and came to a stop on her roof under the scoreboard. The red flags came out immediately for both incidents and Jason Cooper was very quickly out of his car to check on his sister, who climbed out from under the car okay. Unfortunately Steven Jackson was not okay after his heavy crash and required medical help inside his car. Suffolk Fire and rescue were then called out who cut the roof off his car to free him before a trip to the hospital. As a mark of respect to Steven it was agreed between the drivers to abandon the race.
