[scubie]

Don't forget the Late Model Series returns to the UK on the 15th, with some night races at the Foxhall stadium, Ipswich.
Currently there are 18 cars, with local favorite Lee ' Tractorboy' Maddox racing in the freshly painted 99 car.
Also on the slate for his first appearance in the series is Shane Brereton, with Miguel Gomes also making his series race debut in the 46 car.
The Ambulance Service Benevolent Fund car, driven by Paul Bowman will also be there.
Amongst those making the trip across from Belgium, are the three main title contenders, Gary Ellis, Jean Vassuer, and Xavier Vandemeersch.

Racing starts at 6:45pm with a packed race schedule

See you there

We could just stay at hednesford and have a big piss up there if you wanted?

[LessThanSte]

It would probably be easier!

Last night under the lights was very very good, Ipswich seemed to go down well, did you you go, what did you think ??

[Glen 320]

i thought they started off slowly but got better and better,the camso cars looked a lot quicker but hats off to Shane Bereton he was really trying,i really enjoyed it, putting them on with nat. hot rods and 1300 stock cars was a good idea as it was a really good meeting.
Where was Colin White i thought he'd have been there.

[english4ever]

The 99 would of started off quick if it hadn't of had electric problems, fuse problems and fuel pressure problems. Never mind thats racing i guess. Good note, Paul done well and held his own out there, Miguel done ok too. Shane has all the experience and short oval knowledge to challenge the front he done well.

[Duane]

Shane was awesome, he was quicker than the fastest camso at the end, just goes to show what we can expect from the series in the future.

and just like our season in 2003 running with shaun richardson you done awsome as well tractor, with the problems only the team knew of, see you tuesday for a chat mate.

how many cars were racing?

[Reynard]

I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it despite not really having the right camera gear for a short oval (a 300 2.8 is just that bit too long) or being quite tall enough to see over the armco wall...

On initial looks I've got some ok-ish photos and a reasonable draft for the race report.

I think Paul and Lee did really well, Shane was astonishingly quick and once again, the racing was a good advert for the series. From where I was standing, I'd say Ipswich was a little bit too short and too tight, but a good night's racing is a good night's racing.

And the journey home was a *LOT* better than from Lydden... ;)

[Duane]

there was 15 cars on the night, 18 were booked in but due to illness 3 could not make it.

[ASCAR24/7/365.5]

cool how many are going to be at hednesford?

[Daytona Demon]

Just a thought Duane,is it worth asking a certain John Mickel to mention the up and coming Hednesford meeting,no NASCAR that weekend so he won`t lose any viewers.

[Duane]

John is a mate, the Sky coverage is good for NASCAR but im pretty sure they are both under oath not to speak of any oval series over here, nice thought though.........

[jeffmr2]

Where do you buy tickets for the Hednesford meeting or is it pay on the gate only?Its been too long since ive seen the ascars in action.

[Duane]

well if its like Ipswich you pay as you go in, no exeptions apart from the 4 tickets given per car on the day. £12 each if the same as Ipswich.
