BBC GEARS AND TEARS

BriSCA Formula One Stock Car Racing received a welcome mid season boost today with confirmation that the GEARS & TEARS programme featuring the sport has now hit the schedules.

Devised and produced by Charlie Clay who also produced Trawlermen and Coast together with oval race fan John Lakey, the series provides a unique inside docu style view of the sport across the 2009 season.

Whilst concentrating on the generational rivalry of Lancashire's Smith team and Yorkshires Wainman family it features an intriguing and compelling insight into the real `blood,sweat and tears' as the two families, Andrew and Stuart Smith and Frankie and Danny Wainman battle it out for the seasons top honours.
It also picks up on many of the characters of the sport.

The BBC production team were omni present across the spectrum of venues in 2009 and were there to the end as the season finale climaxed at Manchesters Belle Vue which also staged the 2009 British Championship.

The 6 part series commences on BBC1 from Monday 2nd August at 10.35.pm

SUCCESSFUL PR AT FIRST BOLTON `LE MANS' SHOW
Startrax were invited and participated in the inaugural `Le Mans' town centre 2 day show in Bolton Town Centre which was gauged a big success for it's first year.
As in all `new' events there are many things that can be improved upon and whilst on Saturday our Oval cars were in a quieter area adjacent to Debenhams, we had a second site for Sunday.
 
A number of BriSCA and non BriSCA cars were on display over the two days and literally hundreds of fixture lists were distributed and photograph sessions with Kids [ and Adults!] in cars and there was a high level of interest achieved,
 
Startrax would like to thank the drivers and race teams who assisted over the weekend and the Goring family without whose help resource would have been stretched Sunday!
 
In conversations with the event organiser, we have been offered a much bigger involvement in the 2011 event which we have accepted and have been assured considerable ongoing PR locally following the event

OVAL RACING at the Trafford Centre - Manchester

 
Thanks to 4fs Marketing and Paul Brown, Startrax and Buxton exhibited at a major event this weekend at the Trafford Shopping Centre Manchester, attended by myself and Matt Watson from Buxton.
 
Colin Chambers and Mickey Brennan brought along their cars for the two days and a Hot Rod from Buxton and with an estimated several thousand attendance over the 2 days, was a very worthwhile exercise in meeting a new potential audience and was a big PR success.
We have been invited on the back of this to be part of a LE MANS weekend mid June in Bolton Town Centre which again affords a good PR opportunity.
 
Many thanks to Paul for his time and for putting it all together and the drivers for contributing their cars.
 
 

EARLY 2010 BANGER NEWS

As a promotion reflecting our increasing commitment to these formulae we have worked much harder in trying to increase our footprint in Banger Racing and create more `local' drivers. As I have stated before we have in previous years not afforded these classes the time and effort they deserve - and the support we have received - and hope that this meets with our approval. We are open to drivers suggestions and we are flexible on adopting any good ideas that you may bring forward - feel free to post or pm us with your views.

There are major events in each category that we will work hard to build upon and our first `biggie' is the 2 Litre KING OF THE NORTH at BELLE VUE on Sunday 21st March which got off to a resounding start. We will announce more details re this meeting in February - and hopefully a welcome surprise incentive for the winner once all is confirmed.

The only Banger formula we have yet to complete dates for are Junior Bangers which will be decided after their trial events on January 17th and February 16th - If there is sufficient driver support and the events run smoothly then they will be offered fixtures in the main season.

The breakdown gives 14 dates for the ever popular Startrax Bangers [ formerly Rookies ] reflecting their growing support and we are looking to widen and increase the driver base in the North.

We are looking at different ideas to make the 2 Litre Banger scene more vibrant and special and they have 9 dates which includes a more suitable date for the 2 Litre Battle of Britain, TERMINATOR moves to a Bank Holiday date in August with the winner going to Ipswich WF, it as had to come forward due to the WF moving forward to October however it leaves us to build a much bigger 2 litre meeting on the 7th November featuring the second staging of the ENGLAND v WALES Team Race in conjunction with the North Wales based COASTAL RACEWAY.
There are other plans in the pipeline.

UNLIMITEDS retain their annual biggy at OWLERTON on 9th MAY - BATTLE OF BRITAIN and is followed up at SHEFFIELD on 5th September [ brought forward 7 days from the original fixture list draft due to the Autospeed World moving ] This will carry the prestigious ANDY HOLMES TROPHY as well as what will be a coveted EURO 2010 title.
Unlimited have one outing scheduled at Belle Vue on 17th January which we hope will be sufficiently supported [ and weather permitting!] to enable us to grow it in 2011 and beyond into a major event.

RELIANT ROBINS have a provisional series planned depending very much on driver support.

BIG VANS who stole the show on December 28th are back with two outings plus on one of the big Bank Holiday Mondays we have re introduced HEARSES & LIMOUSINES which we hope will be supported - Attractive travel money will be available - contact the office for details.
As I started, please feel free to pm me with your comments.


Have a great 2010 and we will update Banger information w/c 10th February.
