A big number of Bangers at Lochgelly Raceway

The Back 2 Basics bangers really seem to be picking up with growing interest in the formula, with the grid growing by over 50 per cent against the meeting only a few weeks ago.

Several new drivers made an appearance on Saturday in the budget banger racing class, with Thomas Rae and Ryan Waugh making their debuts! The field was bolstered by some regular banger racing

Chris Thomson a win in the opening race of the night, leading from flag to flag, with a DNF in the second race, before a big head on in the final saw an end to his night.

That head on in the final was at quite some force, with the impact sending the Gary Mentiplay car over onto its roof.

1300 Stock Car driver Barry Jarman was in the mix of the action, and somehow managed to ‘bandage’ his car together to make it out for the final to take an excellent race win.

The Demolition Derby was won by Mark Morrison.

The CC Rods saw Lee Scott take a heat and final double, which will see him elevated to red grade for the next month, with debutant Lochgelly-based driver, Steven Duffy also taking a fine race win.

Scott took the opening race win after breaking clear of the pack and leading home Kris Douglas and Brandon Gourlay.

Duffy took the second heat of the night in excellent style – holding on in the last few laps as the pack piled the pressure on. He held his nerve though, and took a narrow race victory ahead of Ryan Cameron and Brian Allen.

The meeting final saw Scott control the race, taking a near flag to flag victory, with Brian Allen and Dylan Coutts completing the top three.

An excellent 26 Ministox took to the track in the opening race of the night and the bumpers flew in thick and fast.

A couple of race stoppages in the opening race of the night saw the star graded drivers manage to close up on the cars ahead.

Charlie Hardie took the race win, just ahead of Lewis Burgoyne with Robbie Armit taking third.

The second race of the night was unfortunately declared null and void after a big crash, then Zara Hutchinson also had a big rollover in the Ministox as she made her second outing in the formula.

She managed to make it out for the meeting final which was won by Burgoyne.

The 2.0 Hot Rods were the final formula in action with 13 cars in attendance.

Ryan Mackie, sporting another new colour scheme, took the opening race win of the night, whilst heat two saw a coming together between Willacy and Fortune, which ended the former’s night’s action, and saw the latter disqualified.

Wayne Lee took his first race win, then the meeting final saw Kevin Stewart get away best and take a flag to flag victory.
