Hello and greetings from a sunny Northampton International Raceway where there is blue sky and a gentle breeze today in stark contrast to the weather yesterday. The rain did not detract from an awesome night's racing and more of the same is expected today!

The first order of business today will be the random draw for the BriSCA F2 European Championship grid. The full grid will be posted here as soon as it is concluded - where will your favourite start their challenge for the red and yellow chequered roof?

With BriSCA F1s, BriSCA F2s and Rebels on the bill; another fantastic day's racing is ahead of us. Racing starts at midday so, if you're local, why not come and join us for the biggest day of short oval motorsport at one of the UK's premier venues.

In a fast and furious race it was Tom Harris who finally broke his championship duck in style. The race was brought under caution several times in the early stages with 417 Mike James retaining the lead for a long time before 4 Johnson arrived on the scene with 84 Harris in tow. Harris got past Johnson to take and retain the lead.

A protest was lodged by Johnson who appealed a two place docking that would have demoted him from second to fourth. The appeal was upheld and Johnson has been given second place with 55 Finnikin third.

With 4 Johnson failing to make the grid and 150 Sworder also being towed off prior to the start; it was blue top 37 Chris Cowley who took the spoils in the consolation event. The result was earned the hard way after hasty repairs to the car following a big impact earlier in the day that left the 37 car hanging on the fence at turns 1 & 2.

Internations Final for the Bev Greenhalf Trophy
259 Paul Hines, 321 Ed Neachell, 515 Frankie Wainman, 84, 212, 16, 484, 195, 434, H365.

A fast and furious race with numerous big hits and personal battles saw 321 Neachell settle into a fairly comfortable lead following the early lap sort out! 84 & 515 were cutting their way through the order until 515 ended 84's chances with a big hit. 259 Hines eventually overhauled Neachell to take an excellent heat & final double.

Grand National
150 Mick Sworder, 84, 484, 16, 22, 321, 259, 191, 417, 45.

Following their clash in the final, it was 84 Harris who had the last word when he put an end to 515 Wainman's chances of a win in the final F1 race of the weekend with a big hit going into turn one. It was outgoing European Champion 150 Sworder who took an excellent win to conclude the F1 Stock Car action of the weekend in fine style with some power sliding and donuts to celebrate the win!
