My love is BriSCA F1 & F2 Stockcars, these per purse built Chevy V8 powered Bruits run on both Shale & Tar on Short Oval raceways around the UK.
Oh by the way its full contact!
Never seen a BriSCA F1 in action? take a look at this Video Clip from Coventry Raceway in the UK.

I think I saw something about these cars in an old (early 80's) issue of Stock Car Racing magazine. They're pretty neat looking, kind of a combination of a sprint car and a stock car sort of like the old modified and supermodifieds they used to run in the U.S.

The only place I've seen these things in action is at the Autosport show in the live action arena - they're normally one of the better things in there (mainly because they're loud and give it full welly despite the lack of grip).

The BriSCA F1 At the N.E.C show 2006.

I merged all four posts together into one as they are the same topic. The clips are pretty neat. You can tell the racing will be good when the cars have giant tubular steel bumpers like that.

The 2006 season kicks off at Kings Lynn on Saturday the 25th March. With a bit of luck I may be able to get to the World Qualifier at Belle Vue on May Day.
Oh how I wish they could come back to Odsell Stadium (Bradford) The whole place used to shake

waz29 · 2 Mar 2006, 16:28 (Ref:1534753)

Kings Lynn is i feel the No.1 Shale track in the UK., But if you have never been to a BriSCA Race Meeting I'd get to Coventry Stadium (same place as the Speedway) on 1st April 2006 , 9 F1 race's no support so No Horrid Bangers to endure. Go and Change your Life!

silver bullet · 3 Mar 2006, 22:05 (Ref:1535750)

I've just been looking at the F1 calendar, the 9th & 10th of September looks interesting, Rockingham

When was the last time the F1's did a long track in the UK?

Is that on the long track? There were plans around to create a short oval at Rockingham - don't know if that ever came to anything?

chunder · 4 Mar 2006, 18:30 (Ref:1536245)

Haha, well it would be rgeat if they did race on the big track as they used to a few years ago in Holland, but sadly 2 tons of metal hitting that wall will probly result in very serious injuries.
They are building a track at Rockingham but havent heard much about it recently so have to wait and see.
But if you after racing with a bit of a challenge get to a meeting, they race every weekend near enough in places like Northampton, Coventry, Manchester, Birmingham, Scotland, they race at Knockhill, they also race at Skegness and Kings Lynn and places like Ipswich and Buxton in the hills!
Its hard to follow of you have never been before but just ask someone, we are all friendly!!
You never know it might look simple going round in circles but there is much more to it than meets the eye, and the top giusy will pass hundreds oft iems a year and use the bumoper to do so.
PLease dont think its banger racing, the cars are 20 grand plus with 600 horsepoower, thats serious. And you get veterenas of 50 plus going up against kids of 17!

silver bullet · 5 Mar 2006, 13:30 (Ref:1536645)

Chunder didn't the F1 boys do some long track races in this country a few years back. I think they used the Mallory Mile Oval, or have I dream't it

bwb1 · 5 Mar 2006, 19:11 (Ref:1536857)

I see a meeting is scheduled for Foxhall Heath, Ipswich in October. That might just get me off my settee on a Saturday night!!

chunder · 5 Mar 2006, 20:07 (Ref:1536888)

You should really get there bwb, the cars are awesome round the Foxhall raceway, they only went for the first time in years in 2004 and the crowd wsa huge. Basically speaking the promoter at thattrack and many others in the south dont normally run F1 meetings, they run their own formulas, but coz of the 50thy year jubilee celebrations, the cars were there and amazing, they fly so fast!
They are there this year yes and praps ,if you live near there Kings Lynn in the north of Norfolk might be a visit or perhaps Wimbledon where the track is fully enclosed and the noise has to be heard to be believed! Plus at Wimbo the fence isnt armco its rope and stake so if the cars go in they gon in hard!!

Yes SB the cars did run at Mallory a couple of years ago but the track is hard to gear for as the cars only run very similar drive ratios on the back axle, so motors would blow, hardly worthy investing in a special diff for one demo meeting! They also ran at the Lydden meeting a few years back and the same problem was encountered!

To be honest though they are too bid and dangerous on the bigger tracks! You wait til you see them and you'll see what we mean!!

waz29 · 5 Mar 2006, 20:57 (Ref:1536919)

Got a little video clip from Ipswich 2005 meeting here -

bwb1 · 6 Mar 2006, 09:15 (Ref:1537126)

Good videos Waz. Take 10 team points.

jethro10 · 6 Mar 2006, 16:39 (Ref:1537351)

Thats manic.
It always amazes me that we have stuff like this and speedway in the UK yet oval racing at the top level is unknown to most of us....

Jeff

chunder · 6 Mar 2006, 20:59 (Ref:1537538)

Its only unknown coz the vast majority fo the UK press arent interested in it and unfortunately the people who run are so far away form reality that they dont have a press officer or something similar helping to get people to meetings and the local presses.

We had an event recently run completely independant of the governing body, organised by a punter and he get MN involved and they were there with guys like Doran and Rob Collard haveing a go. The governing body, nowhere to be seen!

Get yourself to a meeting mate, nearest track to you is probly Belle Vue. They ran at Workington for a bit but houses rihgt nbext to track!!

I read about this in this weeks MN. The article was OK but I would have liked to hear more about how the stock cars compared to the drivers own race cars. Looking at the main picture, considering there were only eight of them on the track, they seem to have got the F2's into a bit of a tangle

Workington was a bit of a Mickey Mouse track, no good for F1's. They have run at Barford, near Barnard Castle they were unimpressive there, the track is too small and tight.
It depends where you are in the lake district, Jethro, but Cowdenbeith is quite easy to get too from this area. The F1,s are there on the 10'th of June, and the F2's are there most Saturday nights through the summer.

As chunder says get yourself to a meeting. Once you have been to one, you will definately want to go again.
Here's a link to the BRISCA website the all you need to know is on there. http://www.brisca.com

Minicross424 · 10 Mar 2006, 20:09 (Ref:1543153)

I went to the 04 world final and it was mad.
Totally enjoyed myself even though im more of a National Hot Rod sort of Guy.
If money was no object, id pick Rods over any series in this country tommrow!

chunder · 10 Mar 2006, 22:20 (Ref:1543233)

I know what you mean Min! Rods are good to watch but there is so much contact that it is pretty much a contect formula anyway!

There is just no way you can find a way past most of the time coz the tracks are so narrow and the cars so equal with grip and tyres!

But when you see someone like Colin White or Steward carving ythrough the pack it makes you realsie they are damn good drivers!

Shame there arent too many tracks for you down there, Wimbledon is probly the best or maybe you could get down to Ringwood Good Friday as they are on there, but then again probly Lydden rallyx
