DanSkin Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 This Thursday takes us back to the tricky Yarmouth track… Newly released earlier this year it is a break from the norm on tarmac – relatively narrow all round and home to some vicious fence posts, it should undoubtedly prove a challenge for the Tarmac Masters Final and the penultimate Shootout Round (#7). Drivers have amassed points from six qualifying rounds over the 2012 season starting back in March at Northampton and concluding at the end of September at Wimbledon. For each round raced, the drivers scores have been put through a multiplication system (white x2.5, yellow x2, blue x1.5 & red/ss x1). The grid will be formed from the first 22 available drivers on the day, with the highest points scorer on pole (no gaps). The race will be 20 laps in length, will run before the meeting and be non-point scoring. (A normal meeting format will follow). Grid based on top 22 drivers: 238 – 236 527 – 112 600 – 115 338 – 249 184 – 277 92 – 285 3 – 122 291 – 450 315 – 151 560 – 525 33 – 262 Reserves in order: 48, 391, 237, 305, 221, 517, 39, 380, 515, 188, 87, 254, 172, 98, 137, 292, 341, 107, 8, 41, 16, 255, 518, 330, 504, 164, 300, 227, 419, 550 233, 437, 520 Pole man Kane is on a real run for form lately, scoring well and moving himself into contention for one of the superstar positions come the end of the season. He hasn’t won a final this year (yet…?), but has a bagful of heat wins to his name and comfortably tops the points from the five qualification rounds. On the outside of the front row is DanSkin, who will look to go one better than his effort for second position in the World of Shale final last week. On row two is the winner of that World of Shale final TomD - starting from the outside there is every danger of the fence getting ‘involved’ but he is a wily competitor with a wealth of experience to call on. Fast blue tops Fasttrack and Lithgow are sitting pretty on the inside of rows two and three respectively. Outside of row three is Michael Green, a solid qualification from only three appearances including taking two of his three final wins this season at the Tarmac Master rounds. Newcomer Evnos makes it all the way to the inside of row four, a great chance to gain some experience. Mav Jnr is the lead white top on row six, starting alongside the Bradford qualification round final winner Hoggy who is the only driver to directly qualify having competed at only one round. TomD is the defending champion, while 2010 champion Mike returns from his ban to start back in seventeenth looking to add to his list of achievements, or settle some scores. There are a few surprise omissions from the grid, with Tinman just missing out while Corny and LeeK also fail to qualify although they are hindered by having not competed at all of the rounds. Good luck to all participants!
