The BARC Clubmans Cup is the current manifestation of a race championship that one way and another is in its 42nd year... The racing is close and clean and very fast, with the average lap record speed at 91.66mph. Some circuits see the top 10 runners at average lap speeds in excess of 100 mph. Grids presently average a typical 20+. The minimum race distance is 20 miles and on the longer circuits are of 10 laps duration.

The Clubmans Register is the Driver's Club which owns the regulations and the championship is organised and administered for the Register by BARC; the 2 Clubs having a very close working relationship. To compete, drivers have to be a racing member of both clubs.
Essentially the cars should be considered as prototypes, because innovation within the regulations is welcomed, and there is considerable freedom in key areas. That said, the essence of the series is fast but cost effective racing, hence certain materials are banned and others are limited as to use. There are at least 3 cars racing that were designed and built by the driver. Every year one driver is sponsored by our main partner - bet365 which is the biggest bookmaker for sports betting, casino, poker and games in United Kingdom (read here in case of a need of info about how to bet on formula 1). The cars have been and sometimes are described as front engined sports racing cars; but in reality the technical regulations are unique and they can only be described as what they are: Clubmans cars.

Weekly Notes and point standings

JULY 28...After last nights dissapointing evening, we took both the Pure Stock and the Street Stock to Lake Moc-a-tek Speedway Saturday night. Nate, for the second time in the seat this season, started off the evenings Street Stock heats in the 12th starting position and qualified in 4th. The same was not so true in the Pure Stock heats. With one lap in, Nate was pushed into the backstretch wall which broke the spindle and flattened the right front tire, taking him out. In the Street Stock feature event, Nate, being the new guy on the block, started last in the 18th position. A beautiful race it was as Nate pushed his way to the front, passing cars on every turn. He pulled off a 3rd place finish, right behind the 2 points leaders. The 43 Street Stock survived the 20 lapper without a scratch. The boys made the nesessary repairs on the 43 Pure Stock for the feature, where Nate again, started last of 15 cars. He had a repeat performance of the Street Stock feature and eased his way to the front. With only 3 laps to go, Nate took the lead, holding on and brought home his 5th VICTORY of the season at Moc-a-tek, holding on to his points lead position.

With blown tires and broken axles, only 5 cars remained on the track to complete the race, with 2 out of the top 5 disqualified. This is the first time we've ever seen cars that did not finish brought back to complete the top 5.

JULY 21...You can't win them all... But, Nate holds on to his points lead after another tough race Saturday night at Lake Moc-a-tek. Nate finished 2nd in the heat and started 9th in the feature.

The race was red flagged in lap 5 when a balcony attached to the announcers tower collapsed, sending 3 people to the hospital. After resuming the race, Nate made his way to the front and got tangled up with another car that spun out, sending him into the wall on turn 2, with officials sending him to the back of the pack. Earlier in the evening, Nate got to see another view of the track from atop the walls at turn 4 and turn 1. Nate made his way to front yet one more time, just in time to pick up a fifth place finish. He is still currently in second place in the points standings.

The 43 Street Stock is out of the garage and back on the track. Crew Chif Tom Garren, took her out for a spin (and spin, and spin) in the Street Stock heats and feature Friday night. We had a few minor adjustments to make, but Tom will be back in the drivers seat again next week, trying his luck for the 3rd time this season.
