MAY 2022
....
We enjoyed a busy month
of May, starting with the second SEGTO Championship round at Angmering
and followed by further visits to Standlake Arena,
The Kent Oval Outlaws at Lydden Hill, Tongham Motor Club and
Swaffham Raceway, plus
what's always one of the highlights of the Mini Seven season at Cadwell
Park.
APRIL 2022
....
A full and varied month taking
advantage of all the sunshine, with one highlight being
our first visit to the new Kent Outlaw Oval Racing club that's
establishing a new style of oval motorsport, very successfully,
at Lydden Hill. Two days of excellent racing at Snetterton with
the Mini Seven Racing Club, two more Saturday night dates with
the Rolling Thunder Show at Swaffham, two very well supported
SEGTO meetings at Tongham Motor Club and an Easter Monday trip
to Standlake Arena completed a busy month.
MARCH 2022
....
Our outings in March were
restricted to two events; the first round of the SEGTO
Championship, which will again be contested over three hard
surface rounds at Angmering and three on dirt at Tongham, and
the first event of the Rolling Thunder Show's busy Saturday
night season at Swaffham. Our month was due to be completed with
the first rounds of The Mini Seven Racing Club's Championships
at Silverstone, but Covid had finally caught up with us....
JANUARY AND
FEBRUARY 2022 ....
It's been a
promising start to the year so far, despite the cancellation of
the Autosport show, Motorsport with Attitude and Race Retro. Our
year kicked off with the revival of the Oval Racing Expo, which
provided a superb day's racing at Swaffham, if not quite on the
scale yet of past events at Arena Essex. At the end of January
we at last made it back to Ireland for the East Cork Hot Rod
Club's Loftus Haulage Funsprint at Watergrasshill.
Mid-February saw
us back on more local ground, for the season opener at Standlake
Arena. Even at this stage of the year we're feeling the effect
of clashing fixtures, with our last few outings keeping us away
from the first very well supported events of what's sadly going
to be the last season at Angmering Oval Raceway, but we were
hoping to return to the south coast venue very soon.

COMING
SOON ... Our
June schedule is due to kick off over the Jubilee Holiday
weekend with two visits to Angmering, including the third SEGTO
Championship round. Then we'll follow the Mini Seven season to
Castle Combe, before further events at Swaffham. We hope to
return to Angmering for the last annual Scott West Memorial
meeting, where a good turnout of Hot Rods is expected, followed
by another visit to the Kent Oval Outlaws at Lydden, rounding
the month off with a special event to commemmorate Tongham Motor
Club's 50th anniversary.

ALMOST A NORMAL YEAR ... WITH A
FEW DIFFERENCES
2021 for us
was in danger of being dominated by off track matters - flooding
in Alconbury village at Christmas 2020 meant that for much of
the year we were exiled from racer.one HQ and dealings with
insurers and contractors almost got in the way of racing
activity. We never quite made it over the water this year; by
the time we felt that Ireland was ready for us the weather
intervened to thwart our visit to the end of season cup meeting
at Ballymurn in Wexford. On the plus side we revived our active
involvement with the Mini Seven Racing Club, a club which we've
been part of for 45 years! After joining the Minis at Snetterton,
Cadwell Park, Brands Hatch, Pembrey, Donington Park and Brands
again (we just missed two rounds at Silverstone despite that
being our nearest circuit!) the Mini Seven season is promising
to be our top priority for 2022! Our top oval circuit was
of course Standlake Arena again and we had six trips to
Oxfordshire, while we completed the year with a return to the
other side of the Fens at Norfolk's Swaffham Raceway, which we
expect to play a major part in our 2022 plans. On the Autograss
front the always healthy club scene at Invicta Kent was the
major draw and we fitted in five meetings there. We couldn't
miss either the Stock Hatch Nationals or the Fastest Man on
Grass, hosted by Sturton & Stow club, and of course there were
the two National meetings at York and Radford. Again we have
plenty of coverage of all these events to upload, so we'll start
filling in the gaps - time permitting!

AUGUST 2020.... BACK IN ACTION
We're afraid our website updates
were one thing that suffered during 2020. But we did get back to
a few local events as the country slowly struggled back to life.
With Autograss confined to "practice" events for the year (you
wouldn't have known the difference!) we made it to three
meetings at Invicta Kent and two at Scunthorpe. Among the oval
raceways the independent track at Standlake came to the fore in
applying all the right restrictions in a sensible and balanced
way and we enjoyed three excellent late season meetings there,
including the Outlaw F2 Open, which was again a highlight of the
year. We have coverage of all these events waiting to be sorted
and uploaded so we'll see when the workload allows us to catch
up!

JANUARY &
FEBRUARY 2020 ....
The first two months of our
season were dominated by the weather. We were lucky at our first
two competitive events of the year, the East Cork Hot Rod-run
McNamara Motorsport Funsprint at Watergrasshill, and the
non-championship opening meeting at Waterford Raceway, but the
storms "Ciara" and "Dennis" that hit Ireland and the UK in quick
succession in February caused two postponements of the
re-opening of the Kilflynn Raceway in Co Kerry. On the bright
side, both the Motorsport with Attitude and Race Retro shows
enjoyed fine, if chilly, weather for their outdoor live action.
MARCH 2020 ....
The Kilflynn event finally went
ahead with a good crowd to enjoy two days of rather wet and
windy action - we'll hope that the Kerry track will soon see
more regular racing again. Straight after our return from Kerry,
all Irish Motorsport was put on hold. The Waterford Raceway
practice day and championship round 1 on March 21/22 were the
first meetings to be announced as postponed, but every other
organiser in Ireland quickly followed suit. The UK ovals still
had a very busy weekend on 14/15 March, with the majority
of both ORCi and independent tracks in action, although the
weather was inevitably postponing the start of the Autograss
season. A day later the UK was following Ireland's example
and all of our plans for the year, racing and otherwise, were
put on pause ...
