car racing for boys and girls aged between 11 and 15, is based on Formula One and Two stock car racing and is a contact sport. Abigail’s triumphs include
winning this year's Reach for the Stars Championship at the Onchan Stadium in the Isle of Man. Shehas also clinched vic tory in the whites and yellows championships, a race which pits competitors against each
other depending on their ex perience as a driver. A pupil at Bowland High
School in Clitheroe, Abigail also competed thisyearatthe
European Championships in Holland but was forced to pull out due to engine failure. Supporting her along the
way have been proud parents, Brent and PamStansfieldwho b ecame interested in the sp ort
through family friend Keith Clements of Chatburn whose son Will races Formula One and Two. To continue the Clements’ tradition Abigail took Will’s
number of 158. -Pam said: “The aim is to
race around an oval track which can be either mud or shale and as it is a contact sport the driver uses their ve hicle’s bumpers to get past the car in front. “Abigail has loved doing it
and has to stop now as the age limit is 16. She is going to con-
Abigail Stansfield with her Ministox car (s)
centrate on her exams and de cide if she wants to continue with the sp ort in a year’s time.” Racing in strengthened,
modified Mini type cars with steel chassis, heavy armour and a
l.ooocc engine, Abigail has followed in the footsteps of her older sister Hazel (18) who competed. And now their little brother, Roger (12) has taken the steering wheel.
He has taken on the
number 58 from eight times world champion stock car driver James Lund, anoth er family
friend.Pam added: “They have to gain a special drivinglicence which they re take every year. “It is an exciting sport but
is also teaches them excellent driving skillsandhowtocope with a skid or a drift.”
