Yup the World Stockcar Champs were held over the weekend at Skegnass Stadium, Skegnass is a seaside town in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. Located on the Lincolnshire coast of the North Sea, A field of 34 Brisca f1 Stockcars lined up for the final and with names such as Wainman, Smith, Harris, Finnikan and NZs own Joe Faram & Andy McCabe it was going to be a hum dinger of an event...
After 25 laps of huge hitting on such a tight track it came down to 3 drivers with 217UK Lee Fairhurst who started off gid 34 only qualified for the event an hr earlier after ( Derek Fairhurst pulled out with engine problems ) crossing the line first ahead of 4UK Dan Johnson off grid 33( who got through by finishing 2nd in the consolation semi 45 minutes prior to the final) & 3rd place went to 515UK Frankie Wainman Jnr who started off pole but had a real dog fight on his hands care of the 84UK car of Tom Harris whose title hope ended at the hands of Dan Johnson who smacked him into the Turn 1 wall.
NZ1 Joe farams hopes ended when he hit the wall and pulled off the track and NZ 31 Andy McCabe got so close to finishing the race only pulling off with about 2/3 laps to go .
I've posted a video found on You Tube of the final so hope you enjoy.
Cheers Mike
