BriSCA Stock Cars Press Release - Sheffield 1st April
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OWLERTON! `Gentlemen, start your engines’ will be the message to start the Hi Octane 2007 `Stock Car Racing’ season at Sheffields’ OWLERTON STADIUM on Sunday afternoon [2.pm] 1st April. It also marks a decade of racing since the sport returned to South Yorkshire in the late nineties. Around 90 stock cars are expected to be in action opening the Northern season with racers from across the UK entered. Owlertons D Shaped racetrack is regarded as the most daunting,fastest, toughest and most destructive within the sport - and too many cars lapping at up to 70.mph around a narrow track is the perfect recipe for drama and excitement! Owlerton is regarded as the most spectacular in the UK for action. The April 1st opening session marks the beginning of an attractive season, the highlight being the BriSCA F1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Semi Final on Sunday July 22nd at the stadium. The opening event is vital for South Yorkshire Stock Car racers with a line up that includes reigning World Champion Gordon Moodie from Scotland, as 2007 World Qualification points are at stake. South Yorkshire is well represented with Stocksbridge racers Andy and Martin Ford heading a field of approaching sixty entries for this event. In the `Big League’ BriSCA F1 Stock Cars, Yorkshires’ Junior Wainman will be looking for set up clues as when it comes to the big event, Sheffield can prove very much a bogey track as it did in his last appearance in a Semi Final in 2003. A unique format has been put together for the V8, 600 BHP monster Formula One Stock Cars for this event, the 2007 STEEL CITY CLASSIC which features a handicapping system designed to make the top stars work even harder and there’s an amazing `sudden death’ final race to the programme. Big Cars,Huge horsepower, too many cars, small track - all the ingredients for full on awesome motorsport entertainment as only Owlerton Stadium can provide. It’s all happening Sunday 1st April at 2.pm Sheffield ` Owlerton’ Stadium BriSCA Formula 1 & Formula 2 Stock Car Racing For further press information/passes check out the website at www.startrax.info including live video action, contact the office on 01484 844088 |
