This Sunday, 16th October, at Belle Vue sees the last round of this year's World of Shale series. It's very tight at the top of the points table and although 606 Andrew Palmer is currently at the head of the table his bid for pole position for the championship race is by no means secure.
The top 32 available drivers from the final points table will make up the grid for the 2011 World of Shale final, to be held at Belle Vue on Sunday 6th November.
There are trophies for the top three finishers in the points table and the usual grade awards - one each for the top red/superstar, blue, yellow and white, outside the top three. Currently, 662 Steve Wycherley is in line for the red grade award and 925 Paul Wilson holds the leading position for the yellow grade award. The points are tied for the other two grade trophies with 905 Rob Mitchell heading 377 Daz Shaw in the blues only because he has recorded a higher individual round score with 231 Matt Clayton similarly leading 449 Mark Dorrill for the white grade award. The odd point or two this coming Sunday could well decide the outcome of these grade awards. Remember, it is a driver's start-of-season grade, not necessarily his current grade, that will decide which of the grade awards he is in line for.
