Dry track leads to terrific times at the Racewall

The last closed doors meeting of September at the Cowdenbeath Racewall was held in beautiful sunny weather and as a result on a dry, fast track it brought out the best in the drivers.

Prostock Basic driver Kielan Ogilvie had an interesting meeting where he won his first race and then rolled his car during the meeting final after a wheel came adrift from his car sending him crashing into the pit bend wall and rolling.

Others picking up their first ever wins were ORCi Stock Rod drivers Neil Gilogley and Taylor Borthwick although the latter had been a prolific winner whilst in the Ministox.

Borthwick by my reckoning becomes the first female driver to win a stock rod race at the Racewall since Siobhan Martin did a good few years past.

Spare a thought though for Lee Burden who twice saw the win snatched from him on the last lap making second place scant reward whilst John Galloway twice had to be pushed off the grid as his car suffered a mechanical gremlin.

Kev Bell from Glenrothes had a joy afternoon in the Prostock Basic formula at the Racewall where he started off with a runner-up spot.

After that he was in top form and he went on to win heat two, the final and then the Allcomers race.

Next week there is another closed door session featuring the Micro F2 drivers and Prostock Basics drivers whilst there will also be practice sessions for other formula.

However, those hoping to attend are reminded that strict safety measures remain in place.

Drivers must pre-book but check the GMP website for further information.
