It was a bit chilly at the Cowdenbeath Racewall on Saturday night but on a dry track the stock car drivers served up some close and exciting racing. There were a couple of visitors from Northern Ireland coming in the form of Anthony McIvor in the saloons and Stephen McCready in the prostox. Formula II drivers Nigel Davies, Blair Anderson and Kyle Taylor were having their first outing at the Racewall this year whilst Alex Hamilton just made it to the track in time to take part in the final. Holly Glen maintained her unbroken run of appearances when she arrived with Liam Rennie’s chassis whilst her chassis gets repaired After winning both of the lightning rod heats Gordon Brown had to retire with a cloud of blue smoke emitting from his car. It was a good night for the Fifers with formula II driver Gordon Moodie, saloon driver Kyle Irvine, prostox driver Ricky White and lightning rod driver Gordon Brown each winning a couple of races whilst James Strath made it a hat trick of wins for the Fifers when he won the other saloon race.

  • The formula II racing turned out to be fast with plenty of close racing with Chris Burgoyne and Gordon Moodie the heat winners. Moodie and Burgoyne quickly worked their way through the field and whilst Moodie did lead he had to give best to Burgoyne. When Burgoyne spun this let Moodie back in front and he went through to win from Robbie Dawson and Craig Wallace. Burgoyne then won the Grand National from Dawson and Simon Cranson with Moodie in sixth from a lap handicap.
  • The 2 litre National saloon drivers were in good form and as a result they served up races full of excitement with plenty of contact. Kyle Irvine won the opening heat but had to survive a late race stoppage before doing so but behind him there was chaos as Derek Duff, Barry Russell and James Strath fought over second. With the bumpers being used they drifted to the wall allowing McIvor and Ross Watters through and whilst all three finished they were outwith the top three. James Strath just held off Irvine to win heat two with Graeme Anderson in third place. Irvine then went through to win the final from Strath and Barry Glen.
  • The prostox drivers were having their last outing prior to their European Championship at the Racewall which explains why Stephen McCready made the journey over from Northern Ireland for extra practice.
    McCready won the opening heat whilst Ricky White won heat two. There were plenty of scraps during the final with White getting the better of the exchanges to win from McCready and Gary Nicholls.
  • Grant Chisholm was having his first outing in the lightning rods where local driver Gordon Brown (Leven) won both the heats. Brown had to retire from the final with a mechanical problem and it was Chrissy Dearn Jnr who won from Eric Millar and Andy Chisholm.
  • The 1300cc saloons were in good form with the drivers racing hard with one or two heavy hits much to the delight of the fans. Grant McGowan and Brian Allan were the heat winners but after McGowan and Darren Rae clashed not once but twice it was Callum Farrance who went on to win from Graham Swan and Allan Allan then won the Allcomers race from Swan and Stu McCaig.
