With a dozen days to go, it's time to look at some of the competitors. John Dowson (494) started the semi hoping to qualify for the big one. An unlikely pole sitter spoke to the Stoxblog's Jonny Hoare

| Buxton and looking imperious (Martyn Robinson) |
JHo - How did it feel to firstly win the semi and then find out you were on pole position?
JD - It was a shock to me and everyone else I think when I won the semi,
before the race I would have just been happy to qualify. So to win the
race and be on pole position for a world final was a nice surprise and
something I consider as a big achievement for a driver who has only won 1
meeting final in his career. Although I'm not convinced it is the best
place to start.

| On the shale...(Dannii Wright) |
JHo - How are you going to approach the start, and then the race?
JD - I have no idea, I don't think you can make
plans for a race like this. Nobody wants to finish 2nd, There will be
alot of cars on track, alot of yellow flags and alot of big hits.

| Doing it locally (Dave Howarth) |
JHo -You have local track knowledge, do you think this will stand you in good stead come the end?
JD - I hope so! I do know the track well, I'm also well acquainted with the
fence, so I might have more chance of bouncing out of it than others
JHo - What makes Barford so unpredictable?
JD - It is a small tight track with only one racing line and some very aggressive curbs which makes for great f2 racing.
