Matty300 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) UK Dirt Formula 1 Stockcar 2013 World Of Shale Final This Thursday sees the mighty V8s roll into Coventry Speedway Stadium to contest the 2013 World Of Shale Final.Originating within the Startrax organisation, the WoS is designed to offer a shale based annual Championship to balance the tarmac only events such as the UK Open and European Championships. From quiet beginnings, the event is rapidly growing in stature, with qualifying rounds held at all UK shale tracks, leading up to WOS Final, open to the top points scorers, and run in points order - highest scorer in pole position. In reality the last three WoS finals have ended as follows: 2010 Coventry 391 Andrew Smith 4 Dan Johnson 515 Frankie Wainman Jnr 2011 Coventry 55 Craig Finnikin 197 Ryan Harrison 515 Frankie Wainman Jnr 2012 Coventry 515 Frankie Wainman Jnr 16 Matt Newson 4 Dan Johnson In UKDirt Tom D has dominated since the event was introduced, taking the coveted title twice & being runner up once to Jack in 2011. 2012 Tom D, #112 DanSkin, #236 Harmen, #262 2011 Jack #249 TomD #112 Dode #151 2010 Mike #315 Dazza #290 TomD #1 2009 TomD #112 JK #16 R Johno #3 R Tom D has to be favorite for the chequered again in 2013 as pole sitter having comfortably outqualified his nearest rivals with an average of 54.2 points over 10 qualifying meetings.However there are plenty of talented drivers making up the remainder of the grid who may have other ideas, & the Brandon oval usually sees some very competitive, keenly matched sideways racing.It’s not speed, aggression or strategy, but a combination of all three that will see the winner crowned "World of Shale" Champion 2013. Get booked in & help make this a memorable meeting in Coventry Stadiums 60th year of hosting Formula 1 Stockcars. Edited October 8, 2013 by Grasser233
