The Annual Awards Presentation took place on 26th November at the Lea Marston Hotel near Sutton Coldfield for all the Championship and title winners of 2011.  Drivers present at the doo were presented with their awards by fellow racer and Spedeworth Pace Car driver John Townshend ('#42).  Line up in the photo below are:- Back row left to right Andy Embery (#45), Branson Poyner (#5), Stephen Treherne (#12), Peter Blundell (#156), Chris Pye (#151), Tom Sutton (#495), and Richard Stagg (#2).  Front row, left to right Darron Lewis (#285) and John Townshend (#42).

Other surprise awards were handed out by John to Stephen Treherne - a 'Turn Left' sign to put on the dash board of his Oval Legends, a large box of biscuits to Chris Pye to feed the large crew at Team 151, a track repair kit to Darron Lewis after his escapade at NIR in the summer when he turned his car over on its roof and a £10 note for Peter Blundell to spend on buying the rest of his flashy suit!  All taken in good humour of course and congratulations to John Townshend for providing such good entertainment.

MESSAGE FROM KEITH WHALLEY


" Just a few lines to keep everyone
up to date as to my plans for 2012.
I decided late last season to stand
down as Race Director after five
years in the job.  I felt that it was
the right time to stand down and let
someone else have a go.  Paul
(Gerrard), Deane (Wood) and Derek
(Hales) were told of my decision prior
to the end of the season and I am sure
that most of you are already aware of
it.
I fully intend to continue my support
for the formula and hope, through
Race Car Direct, to continue to bring
along more new drivers each season.
I hope to attend most of the meetings personally next season and will be represented at all of the meetings.
There is no great story here, no big fall out - just a desire to enjoy my days at the track (and the ones in between) without the pressure of being in the 'Box'.
I would like to thank all the drivers and officials, past and present, for their support and understanding and to the guys who suffered from the occasional 'KW Cock-Up' - would offer my belated apologies!
Anyway, I will finish by wishing everyone a brilliant and safe new season.

YOURS, AS EVER, IN RACING"
Keith Whalley

AUTOSPORT INTERNATIONAL SHOW 14th & 15th JANUARY, 2012

LEGENDS SHOWING OFF!
2011 Rookie of the Year - Tom Sutton (#495) calmly showed off his newly painted and
liveried 1934 Ford Sedan at the racing car show earlier this month, as part of the Spedeworth/INCARACE free standing display of short oval cars in the Oval Racing hall.  The car has had a complete overhaul since the 2011 season ended.  Extra attention to detail was taken to have most of the decals actually signwritten.  The car looked beautiful and attracted a lot of pleasing comments.

Legends lease hire company - Race Car Direct UK featured the overhauled, multi Championship winning car of Daz Lewis (#285) on their stand (photo featured below) along with the immaculate Spedeworth/INCARACE sponsored car of John Townshend (#42), the car that noteably won Best Presented Car 2011.  Returnee to the 2012 season, Robie Jukes (#22), also had his superb looking 1937 Ford Sedan on the stand next to the cute #93 1937 Ford Coupe currently available to hire.
THE SHOW WAS ATTENDED WELL BY ALL MANNER OF LEGENDS DRIVERS PAST AND PRESENT PLUS SOME OF THE NEW DRIVERS! More pre-season news coming soon.......
