There was no shortage of action during the stock car meeting at the Cowdenbeath Racewall on a dull Saturday evening with the drivers being in fine form.

There were a couple of high speed rollovers with Ross Stewart getting caught up in a busy turnstile bend and promptly rolling his prostock.

In the formula IIs, Jess Ward decided to pay another visit to the Racewall but it didn’t turn out well for her and she ended up rolling her car spectacularly, again on the turnstile bend but walked away unhurt.

In the prostock world cup, the front row of the grid had been wiped out within a quarter of a lap of the start and then shortly afterwards a four car shunt suspended the race.

Prostock basic driver Callum Rennie, from Glenrothes, had a good night’s racing but just didn’t get the breaks that he needed to get himself into the winner’s circle.

In the first heat he brought his car home in second but, throughout the race, had to defend his place. It turned out to be a similar story in heat two where he had to settle for fourth, although he was right on the bumper of the third place driver at the close.

The final saw him make a good start but again he came under pressure and while he was closing the gap on those ahead, he had to defend his third spot throughout the race.

The only Fife success came during the first of the ministox races where Rian Mitchell, Kirkcaldy, won the opening ministox heat. Jake Wilson, Lochgelly, then had to settle for the runners up spot in both heat two as well as the meeting final.
