Introduction

Coming up next at the Adrian Flux Arena, PE34 3AG

Championship season comes to King's Lynn ... the BriSCA classes are back in town, F1 and F2 Stock Cars line up for a night of Non-Stop Stock Car action. Please note the F1 Stock Cars will have a pre meeting race on track from 4.45pm.

The superb F2 Stock Cars are in action for the Beechwood Contractors British Championship; we're anticipating a big grid of these to battle for one of the biggest titles in the Sport; with the big and brutal, loud and proud F1 Stock Cars race complete the bill. A fantastic night incoming...don't miss it.

Stock Car Racing is Magic …70 years and STILL Thrill Of The Century! Thrills, spills, racing, crashing and bumping the opposition out the way; is all part of the game and spectacle!

There are 74 BriSCA F2 Stock Cars and 41 BriSCA F1 Stock Cars booked in to race.

F2 Stock Car driver bookings are still available, please use Keith as a point of contact for booking in/ cancelling etc; he can be contacted on 07791704157 – please text/ message on WhatsApp. Drivers not booked in will not be able to race.

The arena has great viewing all around (plenty of under cover viewing too!), FREE on site and overflow parking, disabled viewing, licensed bars, food outlets and other great facilities.

A small amount of food and drink can be brought with you into the stadium; 2l Bottles, alcohol, glass and coolboxes are not permitted. Thank you.

We hope you enjoy your evening with Trackstar at King's Lynn.

Another Superb Stock Car Session incoming… and what a night it is, a BriSCA fans dream with F1 and F2 Stock Cars on the line up; the F2’S in a huge championship night of action, with the F1 Stock Cars settle to battle in a fast and furious night of non stop Stock Cars. A good entry throughout the grades, with strong line ups looking to compete in both classes; it’s going to be good!

The F2 Stock Cars line up with a bumper entry of them anticipated for their first major title of the season on shale. 11 years since the F2 British Championship was last held at King’s Lynn, a superb collection of the top drivers and a number of rapid lower graders will make the night an interesting prospect. Defending Champion 7 Gordon Moodie leads the charge, but will have tough competition from National Points Champion 183 Charlie Guinchard who takes no prisoners. 3 Liam Rennie improves all the time on shale and is a feature final winner on the loose this year already, can he take a title to match? South West top driver 24 Jon Palmer will also be looking to mix up things.

A whole host of drivers you could mention, in with a shout throughout the order, 69 Ben Chalkley, the Issitt Brothers 103 Jack and 113 Pat; both always in the hunt for the chequered flag when they race, 968 Micky Brennan needs no introduction and will be all out for the win, as will 992 Harley Burns who certainly ruffled some feathers on his way to a final win at Northampton at the end of April. 39 Tom Bradley, 43 Marcus Gilbert, 47 Greg McKenzie, 129 Charley Tomlin, 136 Kyle Taylor, 414 Josh Rayner, 995 Michael Lund. . . the list could go on and on, we’re truly blessed to have some of the best F2 drivers joining us for the British Championship, 80 of them currently booked… 80! Who’s your tip for the win?

International interest comes from Holland with two of their top drivers heading to battle with H124 Wim Peeters and H410 Jelle Tesselaar on track, these two drivers are very capable and could take the trophy over the water.

Our thanks go to Beechwood Contractors for their support of the F2 Stock Car action once again in 2024 in particular as tonight’s headline sponsor.

Rounding out the line up are the F1 Stock cars, fast and furious, loud and proud all out action, they do put on a show. A good mix throughout the grades too, we hope to see 138 Dave Polley in action for the first time since his new car debut; a race winner it is too, we look forward to seeing at speed around the King’s Lynn Oval. He will be joined at the back by 175 Karl Hawkins and 345 Jake Harrhy, both had great success so far in 2024 which see’s them upgrade and we’re equally intrigued to see how they get on. 97 Ryan Harrison made history last time out with a heat, final and grand national win from the lap handicap, the first time someone has done so in an F1 around King’s Lynn – well done Ryan, whilst not booked at the time of writing, you can expect him to be fully at the top end if he does.

Shale specialist 215 Geoff Nickolls makes his season debut and it will be great to see the veteran campaigner on track once more. . . welcome Geoff! Fellow Shale supremos 93 Sam Makin, 127 Austen Moore, 335 Mark Woodhull and 446 Joe Booth will make quite a competitive mid-field and it will be an interesting battle to watch. Further international interest in the F1s, this time from H418 Niels Tesselaar, who will certainly be no slouch on track and we look forward to seeing him get stuck in.

Good luck to them all, we’re sure it’s going to be a cracker of an evening! We hope to see you trackside. Let’s get ready to rumble.

Car Parking

Following a meeting with the Highways Agency we would like to advise Customers to not park on the main road outside the Arena on race days; this is causing issues with traffic and resulting in a number of complaints.

We would also to like ask everyone to be considerate of our neighbouring Industrial area and to park respectfully if using that space.
