Over that weekend the drivers will also race for their Open Scottish Championship so it is going to be a spectacular and exciting weekend of non contact racing.

Whilst the fixture list has been announced it can only be provisional until the First Minister decrees when and how many spectators will be allowed into the Stadium.

Meetings south of the Border have been cancelled due to spectators not be allowed admittance. With the Racewall being a stadium, the early meetings may have to be run behind closed doors although there is a chance of streaming those meetings.

According to the fixture list the first weekend meeting takes place on June 12/13 when the first of the two Scottish Championship weekends takes place when the Prostock Basic and Stoxkart drivers are in action.

Both will be racing in qualifying heats on the Saturday night with the Championships being held on Sunday afternoon.

The Prostock Basic formula was introduced to attract newcomers into stock car racing and at present are attracting quite a few new and talented drivers into the scene.
