Before the action kicked into gear, there was a minute silence to commemorate the passing of Adam Brown who had been with GMP from the start of Newtongrange.

Overall the Fife drivers had a decent night’s racing, dominating the prostock races where they won all three, picked up a saloon heat win and one in the classic hot rods.
