IT WAS a fast paced night of action on Saturday at Lochgelly Raceway, as the drivers enjoyed the perfect track conditions to deliver fast, close and competitive race action.
The Stock Rods provided brilliant racing in each of the three races with very little between much of the drivers. Newcomer David Philp Jnr2 has hit the ground running in the formula as he raced to victory in both heats, before crossing the line first in the final though was later penalised for a jump start.
Jamie Callis was a welcome visitor and showed good pace throughout the night with a couple of top 3 finishes a reward for his journey. Daniel Davidson had a difficult night, caught up a few times, but brought things together in the meeting final as he came away with a runners up spot behind Robbie Armit.
The Junior Bangers provided more great racing as they appeared for the second time this season. The youngsters have a history of upstaging the senior classes, and the Juniors certainly gave it a good go on Saturday with action, good racing and everything you’d expect from a junior formula.
Steve Allan had an excellent night as he took a win in the opening heat, and was unfortunate not to add to that further on the night, but did take away a third place in heat 2, and a fourth in the final.
Dougie Kidd arguably looked the quickest car on the night, finishing 2nd in heat 1, before getting caught up in the following races resulting in 2 further DNFs. Kenzie Kopacz took advantage in heat 2 to claim victory whilst Tommy Melrose took a win in the meeting final in his new car.
The Superstox welcomed Michael Green north of the border as he prepares his car ahead of the World Final in September – Green was as usual, in great form, pumping in some superb lap times.
Aaron Riddell claimed victory in heat 1, whilst Green took the win in heat 2 and the meeting final. Riddell brought his car home in second place in each of the races, with Kenny McKenzie completing the top 3 in what was his first outing of the season in his new car.
Mirran Adams had what was arguably one of her strongest performances in the formula, as she found herself leading in each of the three races only being overcome in the latter half of each race.
The National Hot Rods have been on an upward trajectory in 2026, and the formula is producing some very good close racing as a result.
Saturday saw three different race winners on the night – Roy Anderson & Cameron Willacy taking the wins in the heats, before Ian Donaldson held on to take the win in the meeting final despite pressure from Roy Anderson throughout the race.
It was a difficult night for the red graded drivers, with them all struggling to make inroads into some very quick yellow graded drivers.
The Micro Bangers competed in round 2 of the Fife Medical Group World Cup Qualifying Rounds, with Sean McConnachie and Scott Smith both looking quick throughout the night.
McConnachie took the win in the opening heat with Smith taking the win in the further two races, whilst Jamie Sangster claimed the win in the DD. Lee Edwards didn’t come away with too much great results, but was in the thick of things throughout the night.
