The league points are now updated to include the East Anglian Open weekend - just one points meeting to go. Please go to the results page to download the latest version.

The Eastern Open Challenge points are now updated to include round 4 at Invicta - well done to all that braved the conditions to complete this event. Just one round to go now, St Neots on 23 October. 243 drivers have scored points so far, but only 18 have scored in more than two rounds - which means that a lot of drivers are still in contention for trophy positions if they attend the final round.

The EOC points after three rounds (Cambridge, Spalding, Concord) are now available to view or download - please check the results and points page. Next rounds are Invicta on 11 September and St Neots on 23 October - there's still plenty of opportunity to catch up in the points.

League points after 9 rounds (Cambridge 14 August) are now uploaded - please see the link on the results/points page.

St Neots Autograss sends our best wishes to our Vice Chairman Tony McKenna for a full and speedy recovery. Our thoughts are with you and your family Tony.

Racing in the old style - you'll get one "normal" heat with a straight line start (this counts for club points for SN members), then two more heats with "handicap starts". If you win your first heat you'll be on grid 1 for the second heat, which is at the back, while grid 8 is at the front. More cars on track, more laps, like the good old days. For the third heat you'll be handicapped based on your best result from the first two heats. Trophies will be awarded on points over the three heats. There'll be extra open racing after the heats if it's wanted. Note that if you run over any cones there'll be no green flags issued - instead you'll be fined 50p per cone hit (all proceeds to charity, of course)
