As Dynamax says, Josh Graham did start on pole for the final at Llandow and won the race, but for each regional round that a driver doesn't attend in the NKRA series, 3 penalty points up to a max of 12 are added to the scores in the National Finals. Josh's 0+0+12 gave him 3rd overall in the NKRA Finals result.
There have been issues between MBKC and the NKRA in 2012 but they are still hosting Northern Regional rounds and hopefully it won't be a major problem going forward.
I think NKRA look for a reasonable number of drivers from a club to be competing before running regional rounds at that club and on those grounds Boyndie really should've been scratched years ago. Nothing against the track or organisation at all but I've witnessed some shambolic marshalling & officialdom there so wouldn't be sad to see those rounds go.
Hopefully at least another venue could be added to Wigan & Larkhall in the Northern Region for 2014 if that turns out to be the case.
