Great video Brisca fan I have liked this sport since the 1970's and the only way I see it now is on you tube. I moved to canada in 1978 and lost touch with the sport until a couple of years ago and starting watching online again
For that I am very greatful to you and everyone else that films the races for us ex-pats overseas I appreciate it very much. This years final started out pretty good with Frankie giving smithy a good run but as it turned smithy was a little to fast and won..
hey pretty good stuff there, be interesting to know why the NZ built car (Lintern Built) never made it, (on you tube under "New Zealand F1 Stock Car test run Stratford"), although Roydon Collingwood (who has run in the F1 world finals before) had a bit of an off in his NZ spec car and needed surgery), could be wy or maybe the cost was a bit off putting due to the worldwide recession, anyway be great to see FWJ and co back down here in a few months time for our season
I think Roydon Collingwood's injury earlier in the season pretty much ruled him out for the World Final over here . I believe the car was only ever going to be driven Collingwood, as he had some sort of financial involvement in the car, therefore it would not be offered to another driver. Don't quote me on that though, i'm not 100% sure. Maybe it will come over next year. Hope so, sure would be nice to see it in action.
Well done Andy..a totally storming drive, Frankie really fluffed it up on lap 2 and couldnt have hit Andy with out spinning himself as well. Great atmosphere similar to 2007 and the rest of the weekends racing was a lot better. Here's to Coventry 2010!!
Andy was much quicker than FWJ, and I think around Kings Lynn, Stuart was quicker of the Smith's, but he tripped over Ricky Wilson. Frankie was up against it from the start in my opinion.
@BriscaStockcars No where near that much. My dad built the Smith engines for years (from about 1999 onwards) - you'd be suprise at how little they cost, and what budget they are built on!
witch song is that on the begin the tune?

Just did not look like the same driving we usually see by fwj!!?
Looked to make some silly mistakes, really on his starting position he should have walked it.

Well you were there dude, so i'm not gonna argue with that. It does look like Andy was really on it those first few laps. You can hear th engine.
When you are there at a track, Andy's engine note is fierce and can be heard over the rest on the straight's.
What kind of money do the smith's put into an engine? 20,25 grand maybe?

It all looked pretty straight forward. Wainman could have put him away if he'd really wanted to in those first two laps. at least it looked that way.
Anyways, good effort smithy. Thats four. two more to match your dad. should be easy.
Thanks for posting dude!

Rather like last years. Once 391 got free and 390 went out, it was pretty much all over. The 2007 World will take some beating.
