Mark's win ended hopes of the Mowers keeping it in the family for a third season in a row after Paul's son Kian won in 2011!

After last season’s experiment to run the championship as an 'Open' meeting on the eve of the prestigious Ipswich Speedweekend - attracting 36 drivers - this year it was the usual closed club championship format for Club members only.

Mark became the third driver to win the Slotstox Foxhall Points Championship and Slotstox Foxhall Grand Prix Series Championship in the same season on four or more occasions following Paul Mower (4 times: 1987, 1989, 1991 and 1992) and Paul Glading (5 times: 1998, 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2009).

Sad news reached Club members on 13th February that former Foxhall Foxes Slotstox Club racer Ron Ellis passed away.

In response and to popular demand a Ron Ellis memorial meeting was held on 8th November with 30 drivers racing, including a number coming out of Slotstox retirement, plus a good number of spectators.

Returning drivers included Ron’s son and daughter James and Hayley, Club website administrator Mark Banham, Paul Coman, Mark Cossey, Gareth Parker, Kevin Thurlow and one of the original Club founders Kevin Wegg. Those in attendance to watch included Peter and Pauline Banham, Clive Day and John Devine.

As well as some blasts from pasts in the way of drivers, there was a number of Old Skool Slotstox cars competing against their modern day cousins.

In addition, there was a fine display of race cars from across the formulas on the Centre Green, including a couple of programmes from the 1991-92 season which featured a number of familiar names to this day. Many in attendance admitted to crawling about in lofts and attics to dig out the memorabilia which had been untouched for 20+ years whilst no retro Club occasion would be complete without a sponge cake from Pauline Banham!

There were also two pub cards won by Daren Earrey and Gareth Parker which all contributed to almost £88 being given to Ron's family to donate to a charity of their choosing.

The racing provided a great mixture of racing and crashing!

There were even a couple of maximums - one from the Old Skool by Kevin Thurlow and also one from the newer members as Phil Pritchard recorded a first ever full-house.

With large numbers in attendance, the top 6 points scorers in the heats proceeded straight to the Final which was keenly contested and went the way of Kevin Thurlow for the Old Skool.

The Slotstox Points Championship round on 6th September was requested by the Clubs younger members to be declared a onesie evening - a cow, giraffe and snow leopard all made an appearance and everyone thought they were at the zoo!

The Slot-Saloons Foxhall Points Championship round on 30th August will be remembered for celebrating Charlotte Baters birthday with Saloon Stock Car shaped cakes and biscuits complete with numbers! There was a mad rush for everyone to get the one with their favourite driver on or to devour someone else’s favourite!

Following being appointed Club chairman at the 2012 Annual General Meeting Karl Ripper stood down early in 2013 and the Club ran without a Chair.

2013 Statistics

2014

The Slotstox World Championship rotation meant that the Wisbech Fen Tigers Slotstox Club hosted the Slotstox World Championship on 7th December with thirty drivers racing – 10 from the host club, 15 from the Club and 5 from the Arena Slotstox Club. Tom Moat maintained the run of a Moat winning the Slotstox World Championship each time it is hosted by the Wisbech Fen Tigers Slotstox Club following Dad Julian in 2009 and Cousin Shane in 2011! Julian finished 3rd this season with the Club’s best placed driver Noel Whinney finishing runner-up.

Terry Newell became no longer the bridesmaid by winning the Slotstox British Championship hosted by the Club on 21st March with 23 drivers racing. The racing was very fast, very close and very competitive and proved to be a high-scoring night. From the first heat it looked likely that it would take a higher than usual points tally to make it through to the Semi-Finals as (most of) the drivers seemed to have rodding heads on in a bid to qualify and enhance their chances of reaching the final. The Final continued the theme of the night by being extremely close and as the drivers left the track, each thought someone else had won it. Terry won by 1 point with Paul Mower runner-up whilst a run-off was needed to decide 3rd in which defending champion Mark West won against Paul Glading.

Noel Whinney returned to win the Slotstox East Anglian Championship on 19th September 2014 with 19 drivers racing.
Noel won the Slotstox East Anglian Championship for a second time following 2005 and became the seventh driver to win the Slotstox East Anglian Championship on two or more occasions following five time winners 152 Mark West (2002, 2006, plus the previous three seasons - 2011, 2012, 2013) and 153 Paul Glading (2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2010) plus fellow two time winners Julian Beaumont (1984, 1988), Paul Mower (1986, 1987), Daren Earrey (1991, 1992) and Neil Clarke (1993, 1994).
A slippery track proved troublesome for many through the night with a high number of crashes caused in part by drivers struggling to adapt to the conditions. This included Leon Armes causing chaos as usual, claiming a number of victims, whether intentionally or otherwise and Daren Earrey comfortably accumulating enough points to qualify whilst finding plenty of time to put people away!
There was off-track entertainment provided by DVDs of various stock car races and crashes and a guest starter for the semi-finals in Mark Cossey.
The second of those semi-finals Semi 2 was a close affair with Keith Brett winning a run-off against Jim Glading which required 4 races to seperate them as 3 of these finishing 0-0. In the final, Paul Glading was runner-up for the second season in a row.

Paul Glading won the Slotstox Foxhall Points Championship and the Slotstox Foxhall Grand Prix Series Championship.
The final round of the Slotstox Foxhall Points Championship was on 12th December.
Paul who won the Slotstox Foxhall Points Championship for a ninth time following 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Winner for the previous four seasons 152 Mark West finished as runner-up.
The last winner pre-Paul and Mark was Noel Whinney in 2004 and given Noel also won in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2001, Chris Butcher back in 1996 is the last winner before these three!
The 6th and final double points round of the Slotstox Foxhall Grand Prix Series Championship was on 21st November at which Paul won the final. There were 22 drivers racing with two debutants Chloe Leeks and Max Johns – Chloe’s first ever race in heat 1 ended with a win helping toward semi-final qualification and winning the best Junior of the night trophy. Noel completed a maximum in heat 5 and in the Unfortunates Race Kieran Armes and Luke Gifkins each won a chocolate bar. In addition, all 50 squares were sold on the first Christmas Prize Draw card!
Paul won the Slotstox Foxhall Grand Prix Series Championship for a seventh time following 1998, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2009. Paul ended the run of four Slotstox Foxhall Grand Prix Series Championships in a row for Mark West and along with Mark became the second driver to win the Slotstox Foxhall Grand Prix Series Championship on seven occasions with Mark also winning in 2002, 2005 and 2007.
This meant that either Mark or Paul had won the Slotstox Foxhall Grand Prix Series Championship since 2002!
This meant:
Paul won the Slotstox Foxhall Points Championship and Slotstox Foxhall Grand Prix Series Championship in the same season for a sixth time following 1998, 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2009.

Mark West defended the Slot-Saloons Foxhall Points Championship, won the Slot-Saloons Foxhall Championship plus captained The Clowns to win the Slotstox Foxhall Team Championship.
The 10th and final round of the Slot-Saloons Foxhall Points Championship was on 24th October and by defending Mark won the Slot-Saloons Foxhall Points Championship for a seventh time – and fifth in six seasons - having also won in 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
The Saloons Foxhall Championship was held on 5th December with 23 drivers racing. The heats included some spectacular crashes with debutant Emily Potter bouncing off the wall and nearly taking out the leading Karl Ripper; Jack Parker carrying the de-slotted Daren Earrey car down the home straight on the bonnet, before coming round for a head-on on the next lap; and then Alex Munford and Leon Armes were having a game of cat and mouse, which was soon ended when the leading Robin Bater came to lap them and did so by putting them away! Semi Final 1 was unfortunately cut short following a tangle mid-way through which led to Paul Glading, Jim Glading and Paul Mower withdrawing from the meeting.
This was a first Saloons Foxhall Championship for Mark and thus competing a full set of the main honours in this form of Slotstox, Slot-Saloon and Slot-Banger racing!

The Slotstox Foxhall Team Championship was held on 31st October and returned after a year off in 2013 (the Ron Ellis Memorial meeting taking its place) with 6 teams of 3 drivers. With all drivers starting from yellow, there was plenty of action – especially on the back straight, with even those not usually known for using the front bumper doing so in the name of their team (and some looked like they quite enjoyed this newly-discovered string to their bow!)... the team aspect coming to the fore as drivers realised if they weren't going to win a race, they might as well stop a rival from another team. After all the heats, the team of Paul Mower, Keith Brett and Riley Mower were the top scorers before winning semi-final 1. In the second Semi Final, Mark joined in with using the front bumper by going for a big lunge on Charlotte Bater, only to miss and end up stopping girlfriend Charlotte Feek on the same team! Mark made up for it in the final winning 4 races and coming second in one as the The Clowns of Mark West, Carl Brett and Charlotte Feek won the Slotstox Foxhall Team Championship.
Having won with 'Team Reg' in 2012 and not being held in 2013 Carl, as Team Member of the winning team, defended the Slotstox Foxhall Team Championship and won a sixth Slotstox Foxhall Team Championship in total having also won as member 1995 ‘Hot Wods’, 1997 ‘Gumbys’, 2000 ‘Cheque Book Racers’ and 2005 ‘Team impact’.

The Slotstox Foxhall Championship was held on 9th May and it was quite appropriate that this meeting was the Slotstox Foxhall Championship...the Foxhall Foxes Supporters Club (as it was known at the start) began its 'official' racing life on Friday 11th May 1984 so this made this meeting the closest to the Club's 30th birthday! 25 drivers were racing including a return for Noel Whinney and the heats were high-scoring and heat 1 set the tone as Jack Parker missed out on a maximum by 1 point thanks to his Grandad Keith Brett pipping him in race 2! Despite all this high-scoring, Jim Glading still managed to find the time to clear the safety fence with only a good catch preventing the car hitting the floor! Karl Ripper qualified for the final but then withdrew from the meeting, promoting Daren Earrey to the Final. In the final Paul finished 1st or 2nd in 11 of the 12 races only managing 3rd in the other race with Terry Newell back in the bridesmaid's dress in second again! Mark West finished 3rd for the second season in a row.

Paul won the Slotstox Foxhall Championship for a second time following 1988. Paul became the seventh driver to win the Slotstox Foxhall Championship on two or more occasions following eight-time champion Noel Whinney (1989, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003), five time champion Paul Glading (2005, 2009, 2010, 2011 and defending 2013), three time champion Mark West (2004, 2008 and 2012) plus two-time champions Clive Day (the inaugural Slotstox Foxhall Championship in 1984 and 1990), Julian Beaumont (1986 and 1987) and Chris Butcher (1991 and 1992).

Paul won the Slot-Bangers Foxhall Points Championship for a third time following the first two held in 1993 and 1994.
Paul became the third driver to win the Slot-Bangers Foxhall Points Championship on three or more occasions following eleven-time champion Paul Glading (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the previous three seasons 2011, 2012 and 2013) and four time champion Mark West (2002, 2004, 2005 and 2010).
Paul became the third driver to win the Slotstox Foxhall Championship and Slot-Bangers Foxhall Points Championship in the same season following Paul Glading (2009, 2011 and 2013) and Mark West (2004).

Paul’s son Riley won the Slotstox Suffolk Championship and the Slot-Bangers Junior Foxhall Points Championship (held over 8 rounds).
The Slotstox Suffolk Championship was held on 25th July with 22 drivers racing. Defending Champion Mark West finished runner-up whilst Daren Earrey finished 3rd after moving house earlier in the day! It was a relatively low-scoring meeting, with youngsters stopping the adults including debutant 5-year old Rhys Robinson, nephew of Michael Robinson, wasting no time getting stuck in during a first heat, stopping a good number of drivers, including 2011 Slotstox Suffolk Champion Charlotte Feek from the in-field. Dad Paul top-scored in the heats a long way clear of the rest but missed out on the final as Riley won a three-way run-off with Alex Munford the other driver.
Riley became the second second-generation Mower to win the Slotstox Suffolk Championship following brother Kian in 2011 and dad Paul in 1986, 1987 and more recently in 2012.
Riley won the Slot-Bangers Junior Foxhall Points Championship for a second time following 2010 and became the second driver to win the Slot-Bangers Junior Foxhall Points Championship on two or more occasions following brother Kian who won the previous three seasons – 2011, 2012 and 2013 – so Riley or Kian have won the five seasons the championship has been contested!
This meant:
Riley became the second driver to win the Slotstox Suffolk Championship and the Slot-Bangers Junior Foxhall Points Championship in the same season following Kian in 2011.

Kian won the Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship and the Slotstox Under-18’s Championship.
The Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship was held on 10th October – the day before the Unlimited National Banger Championship of the World at the nearby Foxhall Stadium - with 15 drivers racing. The heats were low scoring with lots of crashing and this continued into semi-final 1. Kian, having been runner-up the previous two seasons won the final by 1 point from defending champion Paul Glading.
Kian became the second-generation Mower to win the Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship following dad Paul winner of the inaugural Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship in 1993 and more recently in 2012.
Kian and Paul became the second family members to win the Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship following father and son Jim (1998 and 2001) and Paul (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and defending 2013) Glading.
Kian won the Slotstox Unders 18's Championship at the end of season Gala Night on 19th December with Charlotte Bater runner-up for the second season in a row. Kian won the Slotstox Unders 18's Championship for a second time following 2011.
Kian became the fourth driver to win the Slotstox Under 18's Championship on two occasions following Bradley Mitchell (2002, 2005) and Darryl Gilder (2007, 2008) and brother Riley (2010, 2012).

The tone was set for the Mowers having a good season at the Slot-Bangers meeting on 21st February as Paul won the final with Kian Runner-up and Riley 3rd!

Early in the year, there was a great addition to the Club’s Retro website with Kevin Wegg providing some content on how the Club began.

On Sunday 12th October, the Wisbech Fen Tigers Slotstox Club held a memorial meeting in memory of veteran driver 63 Cyril Tidswell who sadly passed away in March. 19 drivers, old and new attended with no less than 7 veteran host club drivers - John Harwin, Peter Means, John Guthrie, Aaron Means, Mark Tidswell, Mark Bailey and Liam Tidswell. The drivers included 2 from the Club – Paul and Jim Glading. The racing was fast all afternoon and with all the returning drivers stating off the yellow grade it gave the current drivers a challenge as all of the veteran drivers were scoring highly from yellow which caused a huge upset with host club points champion Julian Moat failing to qualify for the semi-finals after a run-off with Mark Bailey. Although Julian did win the non-semi-final qualifiers heat! Paul won the meeting having top scored in the heats as well as semi-final 1.

At the Club’s Annual General Meeting on 7th November it was agreed to drop the Slotstox British Championship and the Slotstox East Anglian Championship; to introduce a non-points fun slotstox meeting per cycle - wrong way round, pairs, team meeting etc. with all other slotstox meetings counting towards the points chart - no dropped rounds. Slotstox Under 18 championship to be run over the whole year with the winner being the one with the most points. Looking at running paper shells on the bangers. Consideration being given to an alternative motor.

The end of season Gala Night was superbly organised by Noel Whinney and Cassie Potter with plenty of action on the track – in the Caravan contest Michael Carter’s caravan raised the bar to phenomenal heights!

2014 Statistics

2015

The Slotstox World Championship was held on 13th December and the rotation meant a second hosting for the Arena Slotstox Club. 30 drivers were racing – 8 from the host club plus 11 from each of the Club and the Wisbech Fen Tigers Slotstox Club. Noel Whinney won the Slotstox World Championship for a seventh time following 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008.
Having won 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008 at the Club and 2006 at the Wisbech Fen Tigers Slotstox Club, Noel won the Slotstox World Championship hosted by a third club.
Noel also won the Slotstox Foxhall Championship held on 10th April on the 6-lane small track.
Noel won the Slotstox Foxhall Championship for a ninth time following 1989, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003.
This meant Noel won the Slotstox World Championship and Slotstox Foxhall Championship in the same season for a third time following 2002 and 2003.

Paul Mower won the Slotstox Foxhall Points Championship for a seventh time following 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992 and 1994. Paul became the second driver to win the Slotstox Foxhall Points Championship on seven or more occasions following nine-time winner Paul Glading (1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2014).
With Mark West winning the Slotstox Foxhall Points Championship in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 plus Noel Whinney winning in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2004; Paul became the first winner other than those three since Chris Butcher in 1996!
Paul also won the Slotstox Over 18’s ‘Beer Dash’ Championship at the end of season Gala Night on 11th December – a final win before retirement and the prize appropriately enough being a case of beer!

Paul’s son Riley won the new Slotstox Junior Points Championship and the Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship.
The Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship was held on 2nd October 2015 with 11 drivers racing. The Final ebbed and flowed, with a number of races recording no finishers, and the rest, other than Paul Mower keeping things interesting by other means, taking a fair share of race wins!
Riley became the third Mower to win the Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship following dad Paul (the inaugural Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship in 1993 plus 2012) and defending champion brother Kian (2014).
Riley’s win in the Slot-Bangers Foxhall Championship, combined with Leon Armes as runner-up, continued a domination by the juniors in the Slot-Bangers after winning a three series team event against the adults – a first for the Club. The first event on 1st May was 12-a-side with Jack Phipps swapped to the Adult team to even up numbers and after a total of 16 heats (4 sets of four), the final result saw a win for the Adults 321 to 218. Carl Brett top scoring for the Adults with 44 points and Riley Mower top scoring for the juniors with 60 points. The second set of heats proved the most decisive - Heats 1-4: A 90 J 87, Heats 5-8: A 86 J 50, Heats 9-12: A 85 J 87 and Heats 13-16: A 60 J 57. At the second event on 29th May the Juniors got revenge to make the score 1-1. The final result saw a comprehensive win for the Juniors 259 to 182 (possibly helped by uneven team numbers!). Kian Mower top scoring for the Juniors with 54 points and Luke Gifkin top scoring for the adults with 32 points. The juniors celebrated with a Destruction Derby! Round 1: J 58 A 37, Round 2: J 64 A 57, Round 3: J 86 A 41 and Round 4: J 51 A 47. At the third and deciding event on 28th August, the Juniors cruised to a comfortable victory. After losing the opening Heat, the juniors raced to victory in nearly every Heat after. The only matter for debate was whether the multiple points Leon Armes cost his team (hitting before the green, at least two false starts) would have been enough to make a difference to the overall result!

Riley was outgoing Slotstox Suffolk Champion and having recorded a heat maximum during the heats, Michael Carter won the Slotstox Suffolk Championship on 7th August with 15 drivers racing. Mark West finished runner-up for the second season in a row. This was after, away from the Club on 27th July, Michael had won the Wisbech Fen Tigers Slotstox Club version of the British Championship which had been opened up to visiting drivers (the Club’s version having been dropped from the fixtures). There were 14 drivers in total with fellow Club member Noel finishing runner-up.
On 6th November, Michael also won an Over 18’s Dash for Cash event – a meeting which doubled up with the Slotstox Under 18’s Championship won by Joe Mallitt beating Stuart Pickering in the final by 1 point.

Mark West won the Slot-Saloons Foxhall Points Championship (held over 10 rounds) for the third season in a row and an eighth time in total – and sixth in seven seasons – having also won in 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Mark also defended the Slot-Saloons Foxhall Championship.
Mark became the fourth driver to win the Slot-Saloons Foxhall Championship on two or more occasions following four-time winners Robin Bater (1994,1998,2003,2008) and Paul Glading (1997,2005,2007,2012); three-time winner Paul Mower (2010,2011,2013); plus fellow two-time winners Keith Brett (2000,2001) and Gareth Parker (2002,2009).
This meant Mark became the third driver to defend the Slot-Saloons Foxhall Championship following Keith and Paul Mower.
The Saloons Foxhall Championship was held on 20th November with 15 drivers racing including debutant Brandon Cook crashing on the first lap of race 1 in heat 3. Mark and Paul Mower tied for the win the final before Paul generously allowed Mark a walk-over in the Run-off on the grounds that Paul is retiring at the end of the season to allow the 2016 Championship to include the reigning champion.
Mark also won the now renamed British Slotstox Association (Metal Slotstox) British Championship series – having won when named the English ‘Open’ in 2013.

Paul Glading won the Slot-Bangers Foxhall Points Championship (held over 5 rounds) for the twelfth time having also won in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Paul also paired up with Daren Earrey on 20th March to win the Slotstox Foxhall Pairs Championship – last held in 2000 - with each pair randomly drawn - one from each of the top half and bottom half of the latest points chart. Daren's became the second Earrey to win the Slotstox Foxhall Pairs Championship following brother Christer (1993) paired with Sharon Brett. Defending champions from 2000 were Gareth Parker and Noel Whinney and Noel finished as runner-up this time paired with Samson Cansdale.

Jack Parker won the Slot-Bangers Junior Foxhall Points Championship held over 5 rounds.

The Foxhall Foxes Gala Night on 11th December again doubled as Presentation Night, with trophies presented to the top three in each of the Points Championship - Slotstox (Foxhall and Foxhall Junior), Slot-Saloons and Slot-Bangers, as well as the Slotstox Under 18 Championship.
This meeting featured a Juniors Slotstox Dash for Chocolate won by Leon Armes. There was also a mixed Caravan race for Saloons and Bangers with a wide variety of "caravans" lined up for the annual bit of fun – a number of races having no finishers! Luke Gifkins had a triangular caravan whilst Noel Whinney had a beast of a house on wheels. The Slot-Saloon/Slot-Banger and Caravans Foxhall Championship was decided on points and won by Carl Brett.
Carl won the Slot-Saloons/Slot-Bangers and Caravans Foxhall Championship for a second time following 2011.
Carl became the second driver to win the Slot-Saloons/Slot-Bangers and Caravans Foxhall Championship on two occasions following Mark Banham (1999 and 2004). Mark, now a driver at the Arena Slotstox Club whilst also Club website administrator, won the Arena Slotstox Points Championship.

The season had started with 22 drivers racing Slotstox on 30th January including a healthy sprinkling of new paint jobs and one of these Daren Earrey (or rather an old paint job brought back from the 90s) won the first race of the season after son Owen span himself out. Noel Whinney was trialling the new MRRC engine and duly won the first race.
Rhys Robinson used the spare car after mechanical gremlins, and this promptly fell apart later in the evening following a particularly hefty moment on the back straight.
In one race Leon Armes and Noel managed a dead-heat with 777 Noel, decided in Leon’s favour by the toss of a coin! Riley was top-scoring junior to win the weekly trophy for top junior and a medal with the date on. Paul Mower won the final, which featured no less than three Blue graders, despite an alarming amount of smoke coming from Paul's car after the first race.

The Slot-Saloons season began on 6th February with 23 drivers which eventually became 24 when Charlotte Bater joined the proceedings and promptly finished top scorer in the heats, 1 point ahead of dad Robin and eventual final winner. Significantly, this evening saw the introduction of the new results screen, which was updated after every race and allowed drivers monitor progress through the night!
