Red Roof's x1, Blue Roof's x2, Yellow Roof's x3, White Roof's x4

A couple of months ago I told you all about Chase Herholdt, who races a Mini over in South Africa. I've enclosed an update from his Dad, it is a month out of date, my apologies for not getting round to publishing it earlier.

I have attached some pictures of Chase. He has just become the only 8 year old dirt oval track driver to win a championship. Our chairman and promotors are in the process of confirming that he is the youngest driver in the world to start racing at the age of 6 and then has become the youngest driver to win a championship.

We are very proud of him and are looking at taking him to other areas in the world to race. He is super talented and thoroughly enjoys talking to any driver, young and old, on driving styles, car set ups etc, and we would love to bring him over to chat and spend some time and learn more from the kids and drivers on your side.

Times are changing for the NMSC, since the beginning of June we have lost no less than 4 drivers through "retirement", #46 Kieran Hardman (4th June), #111 Jacklyn Ellis (23rd June), #81 Tom Bradbury (11th July), #322 Georgia Neachell (2nd August), these 4 will be closely followed by #100 Richard Woods (4th August), and #254 Ike Parkinson (16th August). The National MiniStox Club would like to thank all these drivers for the hard work & support they have given the club over many years, and wish them good luck for the future in any Formula they choose.

Many thanks to Steve Roper Transport, teams #33 & 333 for stepping in and sponsoring the 2 meetings in the Isle of Man. Thanks also to team #402 for sponsoring this months newsletter.

We'll be asking the track staff in race control to make the choice. Hopefully, we will get a few pics of the teams in their parade outfits - and particularly the winning team with their trophy, to add to the NMSC Gallery Just to let you know we will be running three heats & final for Minis on carnival night. There will be a parade at 6pm please ask as many as possible to take part in it. Thanks Hazel

JACKLYN ELLIS #111 has had some good publicity in her local papers The Sheffield Star & The Barnsley Chronicle. Text is from the Sheffield Star & the Cutting & picture are from the Barnsley Chronicle

DON'T tell jokes about women drivers in front of Jacklyn Ellis - you might get crash, bang, walloped. Thing is she doesn't find them in the slightest bit funny. Not only that but she could certainly show most blokes how to drive.
To prove the point Jacklyn won the Yorkshire Shield Stock Car Championship at Owlerton Stadium when she beat off the challenge of 25, mainly male, competitors.
Throwing her Barbie-pink Mini stock car around a tight track at speeds topping 60mph is something this girl has no problem with." I used to get a little nervous," says the Darton High School girl. "But not any more even though have had the odd crash. I've rolled it three times and I hit a fence backwards once - that bruised all my spine. "But you've just got to get on with it, get back behind the wheel. There's no point being nervous about it." Jacklyn helped her dad Chris, himself a stockcar racing driver for 20 years, build her specially reinforced mini. "I've been around racing all my life and one day I'd like to be red roof driver - you only get a red roof when you are at the very top." Jacklyn is getting there fast, even though she failed to finish at the British Stock Car Championships held in Skegness last weekend. She was leading the race when there was an accident. Then after the restart her finely tuned car developed a heating problem and she had to retire.
Her dad Chris says: "She's learning all the time," he said. "Some people ask if I get nervous watching her and I say well no not really. Her mum Louise does though, in fact she gets so bad that sometimes she can be physically sick." Away from racing, Jacklyn is being fast tracked for academic success. Next year she will be studying law, sociology and business studies at A-level before she aims to go to university. "I'd like one day to become a lawyer," she says. Now that's a great way to earn a fast buck.

The National MiniStox Club will be racing at Buxton again on Bank Holiday Monday, unfortunately the race day programme will not contain any MiniStox news. Would you like to contribute an article, if so contact martin 13/05

Winner of The UK. Challenge Trophy at Skegness on 10th May 2008 was AJ Thompson.

12/05

William Clement #58 won the Kev Sutton Memorial at Kings Lynn on the 29th March

12/05

There was a "heads off" engine check at Skegness on Saturday 10th May, as a result Karl Emmett #313 has been banned from racing for 60days, and lost his places gained on that night. Karl was found to have been racing with an illegal cylinder head. 12/05

Following last Sundays meeting at Kings Lynn #652 has been disciplined for hard contact on a novice. Jacob Downey was loaded up at this meeting and forfeits his placing on the day. He will also be banned from his next booked meeting.

All drivers have been repeatedly warned of their conduct before racing at each meeting.

All drivers please take this as a further warning that it could be you next.

At the moment 35 cars are booked in for The Skegness Speed Weekend on Saturday 10th / Sunday 11th May, Skegness have put a track limit of 26 cars that means that unfortunately 9 drivers will have to go on the reserve list. If you are booked in and cannot race please contact Graham Campling straight away so a reserve can race. Email Graham.

At the moment 29 cars are booked in for Sheffield on Monday 5th May, Startrax have put a track limit of 26 cars that means that unfortunately 3 drivers will have to go on the reserve list. If you are booked in and cannot race please contact Graham Campling straight away so a reserve can race. Email Graham.

An extra meeting has been added at Coventry on Friday 1st August, this is a direct replacement for a previously cancelled fixture so it will be for National grading points. More details will follow.

A few house keeping notes for you regarding meeting changes and Sponsors.
The meetings scheduled for Coventry on Sunday May 4th and Saturday 6th of July are both cancelled. An Extra meeting has however been allocated at Coventry this will be on Friday 26th September, due to the previous cancellations this meeting will be for national points.
The NMSC would like to thank Netheredge Garage of Sheffield (Karl Emmett #313) for sponsoring the meeting at Buxton on 20th April.
G. Payne Transport (Kyle Ford #10) will be sponsoring the Gala meeting at Birmingham on Saturday 15th November.
As noted in The Fixture list The meeting at Sheffield on Monday 5th April will be sponsored by Barnsley Recovery (Jacklyn Ellis #111).
My apologies for Changing Tony Smiths company to B&S Motors. It should of course read B & S AUTOS.
Please note all adverts have been removed from the For Sale page, any one wishing to re-advertise should contact Martin.

At Kings Lynn on Saturday night 2 drivers had to go to hospital, Sarah Skeels #6 came into heavy contact with the wall and then another car crashed into her. The other casualty was Melika Moore #108 who was going round turn 3/4 when the back outside tyre burst throwing her up the wall. Both drivers are okay now with Sarah having crutches, having pulled the tendons in her foot and Melika has her arm in a sling having badly bruised it.

Just a reminder to all drivers as you are preparing your cars for the new season, Rule 16 on page 16 of your rule book contains the following lines. No other roof colours are allowed. There will be no signwriting on the car roof. That means your roof should be painted in a classic & true shade of your graded position. And the only other item on the roof should be your number fin & flashing lights (if you are a superstar). There should no names or writing of any sort on the roof area.

Many thanks to Barnsley recovery who will be sponsoring the Yorkshire shield meeting at Sheffield on Monday 5th May. 31/01

Whilst it is a long way off yet I'm afraid we need to know who is intending on racing on the Isle of Man this year, please have a word with Keith & Tracy Clement as soon as possible. You need to book early so we can claim sponsorship from the IOM tourist board. 25/01

"Situations Vacant" The club is looking for someone to write an article for the Buxton Race day programme, there will be approx 6 articles during the season each to be about 500 words long, if you are interested contact David Trevor on 07931-576398. 11/01

The Fixture list for 2008 has now been added to the site.11/01

A few NMSC teams will still remember Alinka Campling from her time racing NMSC #13 (they probably still have nightmares!) so I thought you might like see this report.
Since retiring from the NMSC, Alinka has been training as an apprentice vehicle mechanic. She attends Grimsby Institute and was thrilled to find she had been nominated “Apprentice of the Year”. Her prize was a day at Cadwell Park Circuit on Sunday 16^th December with BTCC #15 Martyn Bell Racing Team.
The day included laps around Cadwell Park with Martyn in a Vauxhall VX220 Turbo, Christmas lunch with the team as part of the circuit “Christmas Cracker” event as well as a special presentation of BTCC, Dunlop and Vauxhall VX Racing souvenirs. Still to come is a trip to a BTCC race meeting in 2008 as a VIP guest.
Here’s the link to the MartynBellRacing website where there’s coverage of Alinka’s day out on the homepage and a gallery page. http://www.martynbellracing.co.uk/home_page.html

	Sorry for the delay the 2007 Track Championships & points standings are now on site, (my fault for the delay sorry!)

Most of you keep up to date with progress of the Ex NMSC drivers who are doing well in other Short Oval racing. I had an email from The Hopkins Family ex #254 It's good to see Joe doing the business, Joe mentions Jamie Greeen Ex #445, he has just won the final 2 rounds of the 2007 DTM series.

Just to keep you updated on Joe's progress.

Joe has been competing in this years Junior Touring Car Championship and will be racing at the final round of the season at Brands Hatch this weekend. He is currently in 2nd position in the points with the son of MOMO (the Italian Motorsport products importer) leading. William Buller who's dad owns Rockingham Speedway is in 3rd place, 10 points adrift of Joe. He has just signed with a top team to run in next years CLIO CUP alongside the British Touring Cars (BTCC) and all his races next season will be shown on ITV1 on sunday nights as a replay and live on Setanta Sports channel on Sunday afternoons. He is following in the footsteps of Jamie Green who started out in the National MiniStox and now races with the likes of Mikka Hakkinen in the German DTM series.

All along the way in our new world of circuit racing people have been commenting on the driving style he has when it comes to going for gaps during overtaking that aren't there and that it has come from his time with the short oval racing. Most people come through the ranks of karting and money. We have proved that oval racers are just as good as anyone on the circuits and starting in close contact racing has advantages of money and money.

We have a web site under construction and it will be online within the next few weeks.. www.joehopkinsracing.co.uk

Cheers Joe

(Brands Hatch Podium photo shows Joe in 3rd place. Momo in 2nd and Joylon Palmer son of F1 Grandprix racer Jonathon Palmer in 1st)

	Will all drivers please be vigilant as to where you are lining up for the final of any meeting, you all know if you haven't qualified (scored points in the heats) you are in a full grid at the rear of the Qualifiers, there have been several instances recently where our more experienced drivers seem to have forgotten this rule.
	Can all drivers please remember that all complaints should be channelled through the committee, there have been a few incidents lately where driver representatives have been going to the stewards box to complain. This must stop and the correct procedure be followed.
	Dave Sharpe of ex team #220 has started a new business making racing related jigsaws, he is attempting to supply all current NMSC drivers with an A5 jigsaw of their own car. please take a look at their website.
	lease remember that the weight limit for NMSC cars has been increased to 650kg the club will be carrying out random weight checks at Skegness on Sunday.

Please note that there is a change to the booking in times please check out the Bookings page.

It has come to our attention that some drivers may be being supplied with the wrong sized inlet & exhaust valves for the cylinder head. Only the imperial sized valves (Valve sizes are to be 1" exhaust and 1 & 3/32" inlet) if your supplier gives you the metric equivalent these will need turning down to the correct size to conform with our rules.

Graham Campling has been busy please take a look at the 2006 track championships

	As the 2005 season has now closed, Graham Campling has let me have the track championship tables, CLICK HERE to take a look and see if you were in the top ten.

	There are lot's of photo's missing from the profile pages, if you want to add photo's to them or the gallery please E mail them to me for consideration.

Please be aware that engines may be sealed and stripped on a regular basis this season, and without prior warning.

At a recent committee meeting it was agreed that drinking of alcohol by drivers is becoming an all too often occurrence, Therefore the drinking of alcohol of any type will not be allowed until after the very last race of any formula at any meeting, Please also bear in mind that even after a meeting has finished you could still be found to have brought the Club into disrepute, and face the normal disciplinary channels. At a Speed Weekend if any driver has been drinking excessively they will not be allowed to race the following day.

	All parents and mechanics are reminded that they must wear clean overalls when on track.
	If You have any items of news please contact me so I can publish them.
	Wanted. As I am unable to get to many race meetings I could do with someone to supply photo's for the web site, all the pictures on the driver profile pages need updating.
