DanSkin Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just a reminder that this comes up tomorrow folks! Semi Final 1 Sheffield 1 August 2013 This Thursday takes us to Sheffield for the first of our World Championship Semi-Final races. TomD #112 selected the Owlerton track, and will start from the pole position. Without a final to his name this season, TomD still comfortably tops the National Points chart and will be focused on qualifying well. MoR #137 will start from the outside of the front row and has had some consistent performances on the shale this season. Johno #3 skilfully (blind luck) manoeuvred himself to his preferred position on the inside of row 2, and is joined by, Mr UKDirt, LeeK #39 on his outside. A perilous looking front few rows are capped by the arrival of the Dutch on row 3. Despite missing a number of rounds Mike #315 has qualified well in his quest to recapture the gold roof… He is joined by Sije #129 and Harmen #262. Retired (?) racer Southy #277would line up on the outside of row 5, but it looks like Spike #221 may feel the benefit of starting with a bit of clear air infront. To the inside of Southy would be Corny #391, who has recently been absent - who knows if he will take up his place. Tinman #48 will round out the Dutch entrants, while it comes as a surprised to see Fast Track #527 starting all the way back on row 8 in front of renowned troublemaker Rickyljames #237! Giving the race a real international aspect, FreeW #67 represents the USA having qualified from a strong single round raced at the end of 2012.

DanSkin Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Some words Semi Final 2 Buxton 8 August 2013 This Thursday takes us to Buxton for the second of our World Championship Semi-Final races. TomD #112 selected Sheffield, so DanSkin #236 starts the Buxton race from pole position. Again three Dutch drivers take over the front of the grid with Chevykiller #184 all the way up on the front row, then Marten #291 and Tsjalle #229 following closely. Scotsman dode #151 overcomes a reduced number of meetings to start from the second row (although perhaps on the undesirable outside line). The Powell brothers tie up row 4 with Stox #246 on the inside and Liam #380 on the outside. Ayrton Smith #64 is another of those starting on the inside line will add the international feeling joining us all the way from New Zealand! Grasser #233 has reduced his racing schedule this year and starts on the penultimate row, which he shares with the last Dutch entrant into the 2013 World Championship Semi-Finals N.Burhenne #125. Last year’s efforts qualify Dodge #560 on the back row, alongside 2013 newcomer KrisH #244. Please book in, Fast Track will be RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
