Sound of engines all that can be heard at Racewall

There were some really fast times on a dry track and a few new cars on show.

Amongst those were the Formula IIs of Craig Wallace and Pete Dobson, who had travelled up from the North of England whilst Ben Sher had switched from the Prostock Basics to a Formula II. Raffaele Donofrio was back after only having a couple of runs last season.

Local drivers Gregor Turner and Kieran Howie both from Dunfermline were in action. Turner had switched from Pinto to a Zetec engine and ran well although he was plagued with a brake problem. Howie on the other hand was using last year’s car and ran throughout without a problem.

The Burgoynes, Chris and Steven were using the cars that they had raced last year and were as quick as ever.

Kyle Irvine (Glenrothes) struggled at the start to the session with a misfire in his Saloon but once he overcame the problem the car ran as if on rails. Barry Glen clocked the fastest lap whilst Tam Rutherford Jnr ran well as did Ross Forrest and Eck Cunningham (Buckhaven). Andy Ainslie, who only started racing towards the end of last season, managed to put quite a lot of laps under his belt.

Cameron Doak was the quickest of the Stock Rod drivers although only marginally that the Scottish Champion Michael Bethune (Kirkcaldy). Liam McGill (Dysart) brought out his new car but struggled initially with a fuel problem but once he overcame that he was one of the quickest on the track.

Scott Galbraith (Auchtermuchty) ran strongly throughout the sessions whilst Steve Gunby (Cupar) and David Dignan (Leven) were only slightly slower.

Leon Stewart and Martin Rankine were others who ran consistently and quickly and at times there was some close racing between Stewart and Galbraith. Next Saturday all drivers must book in prior to arriving and check the Racewall website.
