Good evening and welcome to Arlington Stadium for our live updates service from tonight's meeting, featuring the Ministox Sussex Championship, plus we have the Bangers here in good numbers as well for another Race Pixels Track Championship round, and the Superstox in another Safari Land Rover Engineering series round too.
Superstox

Some early dust soon clears on a perfect summer evening, 23 cars for heat 1, 24 Ben Styles the early leader but 369 Paul Langridge takes over. A pile up on the back straight saw 242 Sam Stacey lose a wheel which 59 Steve Hamilton rides over before the reds come out, 369 takes the flag in the 4-lap restart but is docked for jumping the start handing the win to Ryan Eaton.
Heat 2 - 24 Ben Styles, 482, 369, 59, 123, 454, 161, 124, 602, 77.
Early reds for a winded 186 Todd Jones after a big coming together with the fence in his brother's car, from the restart 17 Ryan Eaton puts 233 Ben Munford in hard, 24 Styles leads all the way and just holds off the fast finishing Jason Cooper.
Final - 59 Steve Hamilton, 376 Steven Jackson, 123 Dave Miles Jnr, 482, 167, 161, 124, 233, 186, 77.
A superb Final from the Superstox, oil on the pit bend leaving cars everywhere but they kept going, 602 Dale Fewings left stuck in the wall facing the traffic and fair play to him for not getting the race stopped! 59 led by the length of the straight from 161 who blew up on the last lap - more oil and 24 run hard head on into poor 602 with more damage to the 24 car though! more damaged. 59 wins and there was a superb race-long battle between 186 and 233!
