This will be the last post on this page. All new driver only updates etc. will only be posted in the new members area. Why Are We Moving to a Registered Drivers Area? We're changing the way drivers access certain parts of the Stoxkarts website, moving away from shared passwords and hidden pages to a members-only Registered Drivers Area. The full switchover will take place on 1 November 2026. There are several reasons for this. We previously used the Registered Drivers Faceboo

END OF SEASON SKEGNESS TEST DAY Saturday 24th October – 12 noon onwards We’ll be running our popular End of Season Test Day at Skegness Stadium. These test days are always relaxed and a great opportunity to get plenty of track time, try another kart or let somebody have a go in yours. We also normally have people attending who are looking to join the formula, so if you have a Stoxkart for sale, it is well worth bringing it along. At least two karts have sold as a result of ev

From the start of the 2027 season, all Stoxkarts must be fitted with a hydraulic-type roof ram capable of supporting the roof and preventing it from falling unexpectedly. The reason for this change is straightforward. Stoxkart roofs are regularly raised while a driver is getting into or out of the kart, and they may also be raised while mechanics, officials or other people are leaning into or working around the cockpit. If a roof is not properly supported, it can fall without

Wednesday evening, Freddie’s engine was formally inspected at Stoxkarts HQ by Mick Havercroft and myself. The engine was removed from its still-sealed box, and the full dyno history since 2019 was reviewed on the dyno PC. Mick personally checked and confirmed that the seal numbers recorded on the PC matched those on the engine. The carburettor was removed and thoroughly inspected for any signs of porting, polishing, or unauthorised modification, including the carb spacer vacu

This weekend is our busiest and biggest meeting of the year, so we need everyone’s cooperation to make sure things run as smoothly as possible. SATURDAY NIGHT Any Stoxkarts drivers travelling up to Buxton to watch the racing on Saturday night MUST park in the Top Car Park. There will be NO access to the pits until Sunday morning. Please do not attempt to take transporters or Stoxkarts into the pits on Saturday night. SUNDAY MORNING There will be NO PRACTICE for either Junior

A video to give you the view from the stewards point of view. Obviously the eyes move faster than the head but the cap cam gives you some idea of what goes on. We only used the camera once as it was a hectic between races etc. so no time to re-set etc.

GOLD TOP FINAL – SUPPLEMENTARY CHAMPIONSHIP REGULATIONS. As we approach our Gold Top Final, please take careful note of the following Supplementary Championship Regulations. These apply in line with ORCi Championship protocols and are specific to this event. In accordance with the ORCi Rules of Racing, we are providing all competitors with advanced notice of how this race will run. These procedures are mandatory and will be enforced on the day.

Following the weekend's racing, I feel the need to clear a few things up regarding Stewarding decisions, driving standards and how drivers should deal with something they are unhappy about. There were several incidents over the weekend which caused plenty of discussion in the pits and, inevitably, on social media afterwards. We are never going to have a situation where everybody agrees with every decision made by the Steward or Race Director. That is motorsport and we accept

Following on track incidents at Skegness Raceway on Monday 31st August, disciplinary action has been taken against 2 drivers for deliberate follow-ins during the Senior feature final. Stoxkarts Ltd. will not tolerate this type of racing. Drivers should be under no illusion that incidents of this nature will be dealt with severely. The drivers concerned have the right to appeal these decisions in accordance with the Stoxkarts Rulebook and ORCi Disciplinary and Appeals Procedu

Steward Camera Trial We will be trialling a small body/cap-worn camera while stewarding at upcoming meetings. Stewarding will continue exactly as it does now, with decisions made by the Steward/Race Director and other officials based on what they see. The camera is simply being trialled as an additional aid and will not be used to check race positions or results. We will be trying it in several different ways, cap worn, body worn and fixed location. We want to see how much of

The Skeggy Treble is almost here, and judging by the bookings, it looks like we're going to have another fantastic weekend. With 60-plus Stoxkarts booked in, it is also going to be an extremely busy one! There is quite a lot of information in this post, but please take a few minutes to read it properly before you arrive. With the number of drivers attending, our officials are going to be stretched to their limits at times, particularly on Thursday evening, so we really do nee

The Skegness Treble is nearly here, and as well as three days of racing, it is always one of the best social weekends of the Stoxkarts season. Tri-M Pairs Championship Running across the three days will be the Tri-M Pairs Championship, with drivers paired together and scoring points as a team throughout the weekend. The pairs will initially be made up by pairing the highest-placed Senior in the current grading list with the lowest-placed Junior in the Junior grading list, wor

Message from Skeggy promotion: Morning all Skegness Raceway As a reminder as we enter the busy Summer Season if you have friend or family attending and require pits wristbands they will need to come to the Pit Office before start time or you can buy extra wristbands when you sign in. During the Summer Season the Ticket Trailer won’t have wristband to issue they will just be working on just tickets. And remember the Pits Office is cash only, card machines don't work due to poo

Latest Grades are online. Graders discretion has come into play in both Seniors and very much Juniors. Drivers who have raced on Day licences only have been taken out of the Senior Grades as it throws things out. Their points are still recorded but they will not show up on the grading list. In the Juniors I have taken into account points, meetings, experience and ability to form the grades. If anyone is not happy with their grading then please feel free to get in touch and I

Drivers to come sign in asap when they arrive, driver only for seniors and +1 for juniors to come pit office they can purchase tickets from us and we will give them the bands to put on. I’m struggling on pit marshals Saturday so please park responsibly whe

I have spoken with Matthew this morning regarding race formats at Scunthorpe. We currently have 36 Seniors and 9 Juniors booked to race. We need 1 more Junior to avoid them being dropped, so if you know anyone who is under 16 and has already completed their ORCi test (with us or another formula) please get them to book in or do a kart share for the day. With the Seniors up to 38 karts will be all-in but if we get 40+ it will be split to our ABC System. 28 all in could create

We only have 4 juniors booked in for Scunthorpe. If you plan to race then please get booked in ASAP. if we do not get 10 Juniors the promotor will have no option but to cancel the Juniors.

As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping Stoxkarts as affordable as possible, we're pleased to announce that Stoxkarts Limited has had its own plug-in bearings manufactured in both sizes, 28mm & 25mm. Like many parts, the cost of bearings has continued to increase over recent years. Rather than simply passing those increases on, we looked at ways of reducing costs while maintaining the quality and reliability. By having our own bearings produced, we've been able to signif

Following an incident at Buxton Raceway on Saturday 4th July, severe disciplinary action has been taken against a driver for a serious breach of safety during a race stoppage. During the stoppage, whilst the track had been declared safe and officials and paramedics were attending to an injured driver, a driver had their chain refitted by an on-track official and was instructed to park on the middle. Rather than complying with that instruction, the driver then drove across the
