No signs of ring rust as racing gets under starter’s orders

The first competitive action since March, albeit behind closed doors, has taken place at the Cowdenbeath Racewall

But clearly nobody told either the Micro F2 or Ministox drivers who showed no signs of rustiness.

Despite the Micro F2 drivers being between seven and 11 years, there was a lot of close and fast racing and it was a similar story with the Ministox drivers.

Ministox drivers Max Walker had his car squeezed up against the wall and almost rolled his car whilst Koddi Wright crashed heavily into the wall when a wheel parted company with his car.

In the Micro F2s there was a lot of close racing but Owen Marshall and Aiden Davidson ran for a good few laps with the Davidson car hooked on the back bumper of Marshall’s car whilst later Rhys Anderson and Ollie Sime suffered the same fate. Cruz Strachan and Lana Middler were making their racing debuts whilst both Middler and Connor St Aubyn both suffered from steering issues in races and had to retire.

Rian Mitchell (Kirkcaldy) was having a run in his Ministox where he ended up in seventh place in heat two and the final before picking up a sixth in the Allcomers event.

Connor St Aubyn and Lennon Cuthill, from Glenrothes, were amongst those in the Micro F2s.

St Aubyn had a strong outing ending up with two second place finishes as well as two fourth places whilst Cuthill’s best was a fourth in the final but he also added a seventh, an eighth as well as a ninth to his tally. This weekend the ORCi Stock Rods and Prostock Basic drivers are scheduled to fill the bill in another behind closed doors session with those aiming to take part reminded to book first.
