The CC Rods took centre stage on Saturday as they participated in their biggest race of the season – their 2024 Scottish Championship. The U Pull It 1300 Stock Cars, 2.0 Hot Rods and Micro Bangers all also featured.
As the CC Rod drivers arrived at the venue, they all drew a number which would determine their starting positions for the opening heat of the night for the class, with the grid reversed for heat 2. The accrued points would determine the starting positions for the Scottish Championship race. The racing was brilliant throughout the evening, with the formula producing some of the best racing of the season – close racing, evenly matched cars, drivers trying to find a way around the outside, and with that, some dramatic moments! Heat 1 was a fairly straight forward race with little to no incidents – a race that seen Alun Gregory race to victory, only being caught up in the closing laps as he came across some back markers. Ian Christie did close the gap, but was unable to make a move on the Gregory car. Craig Mason brought his car home in third position. Heat 2 seen the grid flipped, with reigning Scottish Champion Alec Cunningham starting at the front alongside former Scottish Champion, Kevin Hutchison. Hutchison got the jump on Cunningham and into the lead of the race, pressurized throughout from the 207 car with Gregor Whyte lurking in the wings. Further back, a multi car battle was emerging for the minor places – Ian Donaldson, Natalie Mason, Baillie Glencross, Alun Gregory, Robert Conway amongst others were all in close contention with the lead pack closing. Going into turn 3, Donaldson and Glencross run wide opening up the door for Alun Gregory to move into. However, into turn 4, Donaldson and Glencross would move over towards the racing line once more, with Gregory already there – contact was made between Glencross and Gregory, with Glencross spinning around and being collected by Kevin Hutchison and Alec Cunningham – the race leaders. Cunninham retained his lead with damage, however, it was the end for Glencross and Hutchison. On the restart, Cunningham would lead away Whyte, Christie and Scott with Craig Mason just behind as well. Cunningham would take command of the race on the restart, with Whyte under pressure from Christie behind, slowing both cars down and enabling Cunningham to race away to victory. Whyte would hold onto 2nd ahead of Christie. The Scottish Championship race seen Christie start on pole position with Cunningham alongside. A rolling start seen the drivers keep it tidy, and 2x2 until the green flags. As the green flag was dropped, both Chrisie and Cunningham got away well, but into turn 1, Cunningham rode it out and braked a little later to creep in ahead of Ian Christie and into the lead of the race. A gap at the front never materialized, with Christie pressurizing Cunningham the full 18 laps. As the lead 2 battled, this allowed Craig Mason, Lee Scott and Gregory Whyte to keep in touch, and the race soon became a five way battle for the lead. Christie gave it a go on the outside, but Cunningham was just too quick to make a move stick, although, Christie was very close to making it work on a number of occasions. With the pack behind closing up, Craig Mason was on the rear bumper of Alec Cunningham with Christie hung out on the outside and it was all or nothing for Christie at this point. All eyes were on the battle for the lead, everyone was waiting for a chap from someone which never materialized – the drivers all raced hard, fairly and with the utmost respect to one another. Cunningham held on to take the win for the second time, whilst Craig Mason finished 2nd and Ian Christie took 3rd.
The U Pull It 1300 Stock Cars provided some great racing with a night that the star graded drivers would rather forget as the lower graded drivers dominated proceedings. Callum Sturrock raced to victory in the opening heat, with Sam Cavanagh and Martin McCaffery completing the top 3. Heat 2 seen the Kai McNulty and Jamie Stewart battle re-ignite. The pair came to blows earlier in the season with McNulty suffering extensive damage as a result, and the opportunity for payback presented itself in the best possible fashion on Saturday – Stewart got a head of McNulty and a pack of cars on the exit of turn 2, and with just a couple of car lengths between them, McNulty took a lunge and made contact with the rear bumper of the 188 car. Stewart went hard into the wall and sustained damage that would see him retire from the night. Michael Lithgow took victory in heat 2, with Cavanagh once more in 2nd, and Steven Gold in 3rd. The meeting final once more seen some hard racing – McNulty and Gary Nicholls this time exchanging blows, with both drivers giving each other some hard hits along the way. Callum Sturrock took his 2nd win of the night which will see him move up a grade, whilst Cavanagh took yet another 2nd place finish, with Michael Stewart completing the top 3.
The Micro Bangers raced in their final World Cup Qualifying event as a number of drivers set about claiming a place in the main race in October. Scott Lindsell took the win in the opening heat, whilst new HRP points champion, Jamie Sangster took victory in the following races.
The 2.0 Hot Rods seen race wins go the way of Frankie Cunningham in the opening heat, before Keith Brown took a heat and final double in the final event ahead of their Scottish Championship event.

In what was a bright and sunny start to the evening, it soon turned gloomy with a quick descending layer of fog around the race which ultimately resulted in the abandonment of the meeting with a few races remaining.
Before that however, there was some great racing across the formula. The Ninja Karts were racing for their annual JusBounce shield which is awarded to the top point scorer on the night rather than any specific race winner. The youngsters welcomed a few visiting drivers – William Myatt, Jaxon Cairns, Riley Stagg & Parker Smith. Teddy Hunn also made his debut in the class. Teddy looked to have good pace throughout the evening with some good lap times and some good overtakes during the night, though, a lack of on track experience seen him drop back once the ‘pack’ caught up. Rayah Burns who is in her final year of racing the Ninja Kart formula has been in good form this year, producing numerous good results along the way and Saturday was no different as she showed great consistency on the night. Heat wins went the way of Scottish Champion, Rory Wilson, finishing ahead of Rayah in both heats. The meeting final seen a number of karts spin early on, with Rory Wilson tagging one of the spun karts and spinning himself in the process. The karts all managed to get away without the need for a race stoppage, resulting in a large field spread from 1st to last. It would be Parker Smith that came away with the victory in the meeting final, ahead of Alfie Shevill and Jayden Jeffrey. Burns finishing fourth, and Wilson finishing 9th, seen Burns finish as top point scorer and take the JusBounce Shield.
The Stock Rods were down a few drivers with holidays and other events resulting in non-appearances. However, Dean Heeps made his debut in the class having just turned 16 in the week. Lennon Grant made a return to action having not been out since blowing up after a race win on his last appearance a few month’s ago. Lennon got off to the best possible start as he raced to a victory in the opening heat, overcoming Dean Heeps around the mid-way stage of the race, with Heeps finishing in 2nd ahead of Teri Linden. Heat 2 seen the front two reverse positions, with Heeps taking victory ahead of Grant, with John Lee Green finishing in 3rd. The meeting final seen the two youngsters start at the front of the final grid, with Heeps on pole with Grant alongside. Both fell back in the early stages though as the pack rushed through. Gary Dean and European Champion Robbie Armit soon moved to the front having overcame early race leader Koddi Wright. Sean Naismith made good progress through the field having started near the rear end of the grid in the final, and was soon into the top places. Robbie Armit moved to the lead of the race in the closing laps with Gary Dean dropping back. Armit would go on to take the flag, with Naismith and Linden finishing in 2nd and 3rd, with Gary Dean 4th and Koddi Wright 5th.
The ProStocks seen some great racing with 20 cars taking to the track on the night. There were debuts for Abbie Whyte and Denver Ross, whilst Greig Clarke also made his first Lochgelly appearance of the season. Hollie Ritchie who turned 17 this week, was in the thick of the action and seen a few hits given and received throughout the night. Rachel Kidd took yet another race win in the opening heat of the night, with Lewis Gilchrist and Dean McGill completing the top three. Heat 2 seen McGill take the win ahead of Gilchrist, with Paul Barron coming home in third.
The Superstox seen a good turnout of cars, with a couple of drivers also missing too – Dylan Anderson made his debut having recently acquired the ex Jordan Black HCD. Despite a misfire, he managed to get a few point on the board at the first time of asking. Aaron Riddell and Adam Low had some good races, with a few blows between the pair and a nice dent in the front bumper of Adam Low as a result! Josh Duff was cursing his luck in the opening heat as he found a race lead diminish following a yellow flag to recover the stricken Campbell Scott and David Lumsden cars. Duff was duly moved out the way by Riddell and Low behind, though did hang on for a third place finish. Heat 2 seen Riddell take another race win ahead of Low, with Benjamin Erskine finishing third.
The National Hot Rods were the final formula in attendance. Gordon Alexander seen his night cut short after a catastrophic failure during practice. Ross McWilliam raced to a race win both races. Heat 1 seen James Robertson and Darren Scott take 2nd and 3rd, whilst heat 2 seen Ethan Doull and James Robertson take the places behind McWilliam.

It was only the 2nd Friday night event of the season, and it was another great night of racing with large grids of cars and plenty of hard, fast and eventful racing!
The ORCi Ministox started the night off with a lap of honour to Mason Sealy, who was confirmed as the 2024 British Champion just before the meeting got underway having finished 2nd in last weeks race at Crimond. A last minute effort from the team seen them able to get some black and white checks onto the roof before the first race of the night! Dean Heeps made his final Lochgelly appearance in the Ministox, before he reaches the upper age limit in the formula and making the switch into Stock Rods. The racing itself was fantastic, with just under 30 cars taking to the track in each of the races, with a few hard shunts along the way. Dougie Kidd and Cole Ford both found themselves with fair impacts during the night, with both drivers fine though some work required on the cars. Ben McLellan hasn’t done a lot of racing at Lochgelly this year, but when he has, he has delivered and Saturday was much the same as he stormed to another race win in the opening heat. Behind Ben, it was at trio of English drivers, with Cody Bradford and Mason Sealy rounding out the top three. Heat 2 was another lively affair with plenty of pushing and shuving throughout the race with the star graded drivers finding it difficult to make up ground on some very quick lower graded drivers. Austin Farrell took the race win ahead of Cole Ford. It was an exceptionally close finish behind that, with Stuart Shevill, Jack Jones, Shay Page and Ben McLellan all finishing within a few car lengths. The meeting final seen a couple of incidents, with a race stoppage for Dougie Kidd who found himself embedded in the wall and unable to get free. A single file restart bunched the pack up and gave the star graded drivers the opportunity to close up and put pressure on some of the lesser experienced youngsters. Rhys Kelly who currently tops the Lochgelly track championship took another fine win and the fastest lap in the process in the final, with Stuart Shevill and Alfie Flecken finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively. Jack Jones made his first outing in the Ministox at Lochgelly having moved up from Ninja Karts recently, and didn’t look out of place scoring a few good points along the way. Lana Middler made her Lochgelly debut in the formula as well, and she drove steadily all night, keeping out of trouble and getting some valuable track experience.
The U Pull It 1300 Stock Cars seen around 25 cars in action throughout the night, with Grant Barker making his debut, whilst Scott Smith made an outing in the Brant West car. Luke Gordon was a welcome visitor though didn’t have much in the way of good fortune throughout the night. Jamie Stewart is the in-form driver at the moment, notching up consistent podium finishes and the 188 pilot took yet another victory in the opening heat on Saturday – Overcoming Ryan Muirhead in the closing laps to take the win. Callum Sturrock hasn’t done as much racing as he would probably have hoped for this season, but will be happy to be showing some good form. The yellow graded driver raced to a commanding victory in heat 2, with Scott Smith and Craig Haxton finishing in 2nd and 3rd places. The meeting final was another hard hitting race with the star graded drivers having to work to come through the field. Dean Sievwright is probably having the best season of his career so far, and took a fantastic final win on Friday. Jamie Stewart finished 2nd behind him, with Blair Robertson finishing 3rd. Blair is another driver that will be happy to see some good form having had a poor run of form during the 2024 season to date.
The CC Rods were the final formula in attendance with a good turnout of cars. The ‘non-contact’ class seen some excellent racing in the opening heats, with drivers racing hard, but on the most part, within the rules of the formula. Some hard fought battles throughout the grid seen John Downs take the opportunity to break clear and take his first win in the formula, ahead of Ian Donaldson and Natalie Mason. Heat 2 was another good race from, with an excellent driver from Ian Christie to take the win from the rear of the grid, finishing ahead of Lee Livingston and Gregor Whyte. Gregor Whyte is arguably the in-form driver in the formula and will fancy his chances for the Scottish Championship in a couple of weeks time, as he raced to victory in the meeting final. Alec Cunningham and Alun Gregory completed the top 3. The race was smeared though following a big impact between Ian Donaldson and Kevin Hutchison, with Donaldson being seen as at fault following the coming together which seen both cars substantially damaged.

Saturday 24th April seen five formula take to the track with some excellent racing on offer throughout the evening.
The National Hot Rods were in action for the 2nd time in their current World Qualifying Campaign and there was some super close racing throughout – Ethan Doull made his first outing having missed out last time out, and got his campaign off to the best possible start with a superb hat trick of race wins. Behind him, the positions varied, with Gordon Alexander, James Robertson, Ross McWilliam and Darren Scott all battling closely in each of the three races. Derek Connor struggled somewhat having been moved up to red grade, whilst James Mooney was a welcome attendee.
The Junior Productions provided excellent racing throughout the night with close on 20 youngsters taking to the track. The non-contact formula seen the drivers race wheel to wheel and bumper to bumper excellently throughout the night, with a lot of respect shown between all of the drivers. The meeting didn’t go without incident, however, the racing standards were generally very good in all three races. It was refreshing to see Billie-Summer Glen unphased by her accident last weekend, and was back out with a point to prove, racing to a heat and final double on the night – a massive confidence boost to the youngster. Dale Sutherland has been in a rich vein of form of late, and took another race win on Saturday, alongside a podium place in the opening heat. Leeland Dearn hasn’t had an easy start to life in the Junior Production class, having been caught up in a few incidents in his short time in the class, however, a brilliant drive in the meeting final seen him come away with a well deserved 2nd place finish. There was a lot of lower graded drivers at the front end of things on Saturday, with Nicole Innes and Jayden Barrie also coming away with some good results.
The 2.0 Hot Rod formula was with us for the 2nd week in succession, with Keith Chesher making an outing in the ex Chevy Mills car, racing as the unfamiliar 389 number. Charlie Hardie continued his good start to life in the 2.0 Hot Rod formula with 2 further race wins in the heats, before Allan Gibson got the better of the starts in the meeting final and got his way into the lead. Frankie Cunningham and Keith Brown also followed through, whilst Mark Dews tried on numerous occasions to go round the outside of Hardie but couldn’t make a move stick. Cunningham and Brown raced closely together throughout the race, but with little between the pair, it was to finish in the same order.
The Superstox class welcomed Eric Walker north of the border, making his first visit since the British Championship in June. Jordan Black looks to have found comfort in his recently acquired car, and its starting to reep the rewards for the investment with some excellent results. 2 runners up spots on Saturday will see him move up the rankings. There would be no stopping Aaron Riddell though, who continues his impressive streak having acquired the ex Green car a couple of months ago. Riddell raced to a hat-trick of victories once more, whilst the likes of Kenny McKenzie, Adam Low and Josh Duff raced for the places behind.
The ProStocks were the final formula in attendance, a late replacement for the 2.0 Bangers. The ProStocks seen Dean McGill make his first appearance of the season in the class, and he was straight into the mix of things. McGill and Paul Barron, with Grady Ross also in the mix, all had some epic battles throughout the night, with a lot of pushing, shuving and hitting going on in each of the three races. Lewis Gilchrist took the victory in the opening race before his engine let go in heat 2. Chris Mack went onto claim victory in the heat and final, which will see him move up to a blue grade as a result.

Wow, what a weekend of stock car racing. There aren’t enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe it. From start to finish, it was eventful, atmospheric and had lots of talking points.
The U-Pull-It 1300 Stock Cars Championship of the World was the headline attraction across the weekend, where local pilot 638 Darren Rae came out on top as he raced to victory in the World Championship race. Another local driver, 126 Danny Whyte was victorious in the first ever staging of the 1300 Stock Cars Inter-Nations cup. The success remained in Scotland within the Stock Rod class with Broxburn based Robbie Armit taking the Spedeworth TV European Championship at only 17 years old.
Saturday seen four formula in action – the 1300 Stock Cars, Stock Rods, ProStocks and Junior Productions. The 1300 Stock Cars seen a last chance qualifier kick off the event as 3 drivers looked to claim a place on the back of the U Pull It World Championship grid to complete the 42 car grid. 30+ drivers were after these spots, and it was a hectic race with plenty of hard hitting action. Sam Cavanagh, Michael Lithgow and Jack Mayle were the fortunate drivers to take the top 3 places and secure a world championship place.
The World Finalists took to the track, piped on by Lochgelly’s Lewis Duffy, as the drivers completed a parade lap before forming the grid. Upon completion of the grid, there was two rolling laps, with reigning World Champion Jacob Bromley and HRP National Points Champion Fraser Clark taking an early lead, whilst Danny Whyte seen his chances go flat early on as he retired to the infield following an early stoppage. Robbie Wright, Darren Rae and Jamie Stewart made inroads and were battling for the podium places amongst each other, with Rae breaking clear and chasing after the first two, who had settled closely together with Bromley ahead and Clark seemingly biding his time. Fast forward several laps, and Rae was right with the front two, and it became a three way battle as they exchanged blows and the lead swapped over several times. Rae would move to the front with Bromley close behind, whilst Clark dropped back and was reeled in by the chasing pack. Ty Richardson was in amongst it, and was battling it out with Craig Haxton and Fraser Clark too, as he tried to get a top 3 place. Jamie Stewart moved into third in the closing stages, with the others battling hard until the checkered. A big last bend lunge from Bromley wasn’t enough to dislodge Rae, who in turn managed to lean onto another car as he held on to take the World Championship, with the crowd erupting in celebration. Bromley took 2nd and Jamie Stewart completed the top 3.
The Stock Rods raced for their Spedeworth TV European Championship, with the drivers competing in 2 out of 3 qualifying heats to determine their starting positions for the main event later in the night. Heat 1 would see HRP points champion, Siobhan Martin claim victory ahead of Dean McGill and Northern Irelands Dan Shannon. Heat 2 went the way of Sean Naismith, with Raymond Brown and Dan Rea completing the top 3, whilst heat 3 seen Robbie Armit claim victory ahead of Mark Foster and Kyle Hutchison. The points were tallied up, and the grid formed, with Armit on pole position and Siobhan Martin alongside – it was a mouthwatering grid with endless talent in the first few rows – World Champion John Smith found himself up front on the 2nd row after a steady couple of qualifying heats. As the green flag dropped, Armit was immediately under pressure to keep Martin alongside behind, and Cardwell, Shannon, Smith and Smyth at bay. From the opening lap, Armit was under intense pressure as Martin trying to make a move on the outside, whilst the pack behind kept close behind him. Martin would soon drop back down and out of the top 3, but still in contention, whilst Shannon and Cardwell pressurized the young Robbie Armit. This would be the case for the remainder of the race, with little between the top three all the way to the flag. Armit held on for 30 laps to take the win ahead of Cardwell and Shannon, with Martin, Smith, Smyth and Dean following through.
The 1300 Stock Cars raced for their first ever Inter-Nations Cup on the Sunday, with 3 heats proceeding – 1 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday to form the grid. Jamie Stewart found himself on the front row after a strong qualifying, however, he retired to the infield during a race caution whilst leading the way. In a hard hitting race with over 50+ cars on track, it was hard to follow at times, with the lead changing on numerous occasions throughout the race. Cardenden’s Danny Whyte would be the driver to come out on top, with Fraser Clark 2nd and Northern Irelands Curtis Greer finishing in third.
The 1300 Stock Cars Scottish Open would form a ‘reverse’ grid of the Inter-Nations Cup, and it being the final race of the weekend for the formula, it was another action packed race with the drivers giving it their all. The Northern Irish drivers were the ones that came out on top come the end of the race, with Curtis Greer taking the win ahead of Jonathan Brown, with Scotland’s Jamie Stewart racing through to finish in third.
The Stock Rod equivalent, raced for on the Sunday afternoon seen two reverse grid heats formed to give the grid for the Scottish Open. Heat 1 would see 47 Jonny Cardwell take the win, whilst Scotland’s Sean Naismith took the win in heat 2. The Scottish Open race was another hard fought race with little between much of the drivers – Cardwell would take the win ahead of Mark Crawford, whilst Sean Naismith completed the top three.
The ProStocks provided some entertaining support on the Saturday night with plenty of on track action. Rachel Kidd continued her impressive start to her prostock career with another race win in the opening heat, and bringing her car home in 2nd in each of the following races. Callum McIvor finally had a change of luck, and took a heat and final double which will see him move up a grade ahead of the formula’s next meeting. Paul Barron, Chris Mack and Becki Ritchie were in the thick of the action with plenty of paint exchanged between these drivers.
The Junior Productions were in action on Saturday, with race wins going the way of Callum Doak, Aiden Duffy and Dale Sutherland. It wasn’t the best meeting for the formula, with a few incidents along the way.
On Sunday, the 2.0 Hot Rods were in attendance. Bryan Forrest made an outing in the Keith Brown car, whilst Keith Brown made an appearance in the ex Chevy Mills car. Damien Wright was a welcome visitor as well. There would be no stopping debutant Charlie Hardie though, as he made the most of his white grade start as he raced to a hat-trick of victories.
In the Ninja Karts, Ryan Love continued his impressive run of form with another race win, though this could possibly have been double with the youngster running clear in heat 2 before an unfortunate spin dropped him down the order. Jayden Jeffrey took the win in heat 2, before Rory Wilson claimed victory in the final. Blair Innes performed excellently on the day – taking away 2x 2nd place finishes in the heats, and was unfortunate to be spun out in the meeting final whilst racing in the podium places.
