Unlimited Bangers
The massive entry of Unlimiteds is headed by defending champion 22 Dave Vincent. It took many years for the Brandon driver to add this particular title to his bulging cv, and so he was delighted to do so last year, particularly at the wheel of an old favourite Mk2 Granada – it was the first time a ‘Granny’ had been driven to the title since 2010.
22 Dave Vincent added the World of Shale title to his bulging cv last year
Three-time WoS champion 160 Shayn Winsor (whose titles span an incredible 25 years) is keen to lift the crown for a record fourth time, while 321 Andrew Newton will repeat his biggest success in racing, and there are plenty more former champions among in the field.
321 Andy Newton is one of several former champions in the field
World champion 247 Lee Clarke is a former winners seeded to the big race, but 88 Lyndon Stark, 119 Davey Cox and 269 Dean French will have to qualify via the last-chance race if they are to add to their previous titles.
Former Champion 88 Lyndon Stark will have to qualify through the last chance race if he is to add to his previous title
Trackstar top dog 830 Lee White hasn’t had the greatest success in Unlimiteds at King’s Lynn, so will be aiming to prove he is a true allrounder with a good showing in the WoS, while former 1300cc stock car world champion 333 Daniel Weavers also represents the home promotion.
830 Lee White will be on of the home promotions top chances of getting a good result in the big race.
Leader of the Entertainers’ League 178 Kieran Bowman and former winner of that title 791 Nicky Young are likely to join wildcard entries 388 Taylor Sowter, 455 Ricki Finneyand brothers 883 Jakc and 884 Tom Filmer as names that will spice up the action. While some of those could challenge for the win in the right circumstances, they are more likely to be intent on entertaining the large crowd.
The qualification of 388 Taylor Sowter plus several other drivers know for their entertaining style is bound to spice up the race
Top visiting drivers with their eyes on the trophy include locally based 673 Darren Fendley (representing Mildenhall), Startrax man 267 Martin French and Autospeed’s teen sensation 907 Cameron Bradford. Incarace’s 309 Michael Lane knows how to win big races too, but may – like Bradford – suffer for his limited shale experience.
Furthest travelled visiting drivers are 166 William Ogilby and 388 Steve McGrath who will make the journey across the Irish Sea to a venue where they are no strangers.
Ireland's 388 Stevo McGrath will be one of the furthest travelled drivers
Other likely contenders include a couple of drivers who – surprisingly – will have to negotiate the last-chance qualifier, 326 Shane Lynn and 898 Andy Battle.
898 Andy Battle will be a top contender should he be able to negotiate the last chance qualifier
Brothers 262 Buddy and 362 Jonny James again make the long journey from Devon, and are sure to put on a great show, with both seeded entry into the big race. 741 Paul Smaldon makes a similar trek and is certain to get stuck into some heavy action as are the Bears’ 43 Luke Maynard, 321 Kieran Fry and 831 Shane Fry, northern star 01 Kyle Shires and the Wild Boyz’ 43 Nicky Bishop.
Two-Litre Saloon Stock Cars
Fresh from being crowned world champion at the same track, 157 Max Stott will be sporting the gold roof. It’s fair to say that until August’s big race, Stott hadn’t been having the best of seasons on shale. But it all came good when it mattered most, and now Stott will be out to show that he truly belongs in the formula’s elite.
World Champion 157 Max Stott returns to the venue where he won the World title last month
Fellow champions 116 Diggy Smith (European), 349 Michael Allard (World of Shale and UK) and 730 Deane Mayes (British) are part of a star-studded line-up for the popular Bumper Trophy which both 26 Tommy Barnes and 214 Tom Yould will both be aiming to win for a second time.
349 Michael Allard is part of a star studded line up
Mayes may well be looking for revenge on 570 Simon Venni who, as a backmarker, removed him from the lead of the World Final. Barnes could also be on several people’s hit-list – and vice versa – after a bruising Steve Newman Memorial meeting.
26 Tommy Barnes was in the middle of the action at the World Final weekend
Track championship leader 306 Daniel Parker and world championship podium finishers 641 Willie Skoyles Jr and long-distance traveller 600 Barry Russell will all be in action two weeks before the inaugural National Series, for which they have qualified along with the aforementioned champions and 399 Cole Atkins, kicks off at the same venue.
306 Daniel Parker will be looking to extend his lead at the top of the King's Lynn track championship
There is a rare outing for 149 Jamie Sampson, who will be one to watch alongside his brother Lee (428), while 120 Luke Dorling and 316 Danny McCluskey will aim to continue the good form they showed over World Final weekend.
120 Luke Dorling showed fantastic form over the World Final weekend - can he continue it on Saturday?
