Wow, what a night it was on Saturday at Lochgelly Raceway – It had everything! A huge crowd created a fantastic atmosphere as the cheered on drivers, shouted for trophies and cheered every crash or exciting overtake!

The Van Bangers were the headline attraction as they competed in the final round of the Dhoom Indian Streatery Cash Chaser Series. 27 vans took to the track as they set about causing chaos!! From the 27 vans, only THREE completed the distance in the opening race such was the destruction caused. Ian Tait took the win in that race. Heat 2 seen the majority of vans return to the track and produced another exciting race with big hits, head ons and good avoiding skills! Sean McConachie provided great entertainment as he turned his yellow van around and went for a few hits, or to block the track. David Gibbons took the win in heat 2. The final race of the day for the vans see more great on track action, track blockages and big hits. Ciaran Adams was amongst the big hitters, despite sitting in the top 3 in the race at the time, decided to for a big hit on another van, before someone else came and gave him a big hit! Connor Jones took the win in the race, before Kailin Bryson took the win in the DD. After the points were tallied up, Max Fleckley took the series victory. Thanks to Dhoom for supporting the series.

The Ninja Karts were in attendance as they raced in the annual JusBounce event – an event that has seen a range of different winners over the years. Alfie Shevill was the driver looking to retain it, and was on a mission on the night. A difficult first heat seen him finish outside the top 10. Alfie MacLeod continued his run of good form as he raced to an excellent victory in heat 1, finishing ahead of Max Armit and Harley Wilson. Heat 2 seen the youngsters once more put in a fantastic display of racing. The star graded drivers charged through the field with little between them. There would be no catching the flying blue grade of Alfie MacLeod though, as he took his second win of the night. Rory Wilson tried his utmost to get through, but couldn’t make a move stick, and defended well against Jayden Jeffrey in the closing laps. The meeting final seen the grid closed up somewhat. The youngsters once more, excelled. A couple of stoppages seen the pack close up. A number of different drivers chopped and changed positions up front – Rory Wilson, Harley Wilson, Alfie Shevill to name a few, with Max Armit, Ryan Love, Alfie MacLeod and Jayden Jeffrey never too far away. Shevill got an excellent start and looked like he would be the one to beat, but once in front, seen himself get reeled in by those behind, before charging back to the front and having a fantastic race with those around him – a race that went the all the way to flag. It would be Rory Wilson that came out on top, just ahead of Alfie Shevill and Harley Wilson, with Max Armit just behind. Alfie MacLeod claimed the JusBounce series win though, as he came away as top point scorer on the night.

The U Pull It 1400 Stock Cars were in good form as they entertained throughout the night – Three races, and all nail-biting, hard hitting affairs. Greg Honeyman made an outing in the Kevin Graham car and got quicker as the night went on, whilst Lee Kopacz and Ryan Martin switched the ProStocks for the heavy metal formula. Kopacz looked quick but found himself getting caught up and on the receiving end of a few hits, whilst Ryan Martin managed to get a couple of points on the board for his efforts. Brant West has been in good form the last couple of meetings, and took another race win in the opening heat finishing ahead of Fraser Clark and British Champion Gary Nicholls. Nicholls himself looked to be in the best form of his season so far, as he finally looked to have the pace to compete. Patrick Calderwood made a return to racing and didn’t look like he had been away. Heat 2 seen him take the win with a big last bender on Chris Innes, with the pair crossing the line well out of shape! Calderwood capped off his return to racing with a win in the meeting final, finishing ahead of Brant West and Gary Nicholls.

The National Hot Rods competed in R3 of the Scottish WQS. The series so far has seen a few wins go the way of a few of the less experienced drivers, and that continued on Saturday as Craig McLaren took the victory in both heats, with heat 1 being a close finish with Gordon Alexander, who appeared to lose a gear out of turn 4 as the cars raced to the line. Paul Cusack was in the mix of a good race in the meeting final, until it went wrong on the last lap – losing control and hitting the wall on the exit of turn 4 unfortunately causing some damage to his car. Gordon Alexander took the win ahead of Ian Donaldson and Cameron Willacy.

The CC Rods raced in their Specialist Roofing event – with a few tyres up for grabs in the meeting final courtesy of the sponsor. A slightly different format from the norm seen two reverse grid heats formed – mixing things up and producing some good non-contact racing on the most part. Heat 1 did see a couple of unfortunate incidents though thankfully most cars made it back on track. Gavin Ritchie took the win in the opening heat, with Mike Linton taking the win in heat 2. Linton looked to be in the mix for a heat and final double, but a mistake in the closing stages seen him hit the wall and retire from the race. Kevin Donaldson went on to take the win ahead of Gavin Ritchie and Liam Conway.

Congratulations to all the winners and podium finishers, and a huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported racing at HRP Lochgelly Raceway.

HRP Lochgelly Raceway produced another exciting night of racing on Saturday 22nd August as the Junior Production formula took centre stage as they battled it out for their Scottish Championship.

Around 20 of the sports up and coming talents took to the track as the Junior Production formula looked to showcase their talents with the Scottish Championship up for grabs. With several of the drivers set to move on in the coming weeks and months, it will be their last major championship in the formula. Two reverse grid heats were used to determine the grid for the main race – giving equal opportunity to all drivers to stake a place at the front end of the pack. Heat 1 seen some brilliant racing with Bella Brown driving an excellent race as she fought her way into the top 3 places, before holding off some fierce competition from the challenging drivers behind – Bella would hold on to take a 2nd place finish behind race winner Callum Ritchie. Heat 2 was another exciting race with a couple of great on track battles. Again, Callum Ritchie took the win with in form Leeland Dearn finishing 2nd and Frazer Anderson 3rd. The Scottish Championship was the final race for the formula, and it was a dramatic affair – a stop start race with cautions throwing extra pressure on those racing up front. Leeland Dearn got off to a great start however, a lap one incident would result in a complete restart, and on 2nd time of asking, Callum Ritchie got the jump and into the lead of the race – where he would never look back. However, it wasn’t plain sailing, with several yellow flag stoppages bringing the pack closer to him at every restart. Callum held his nerve though, and took a deserving victory. Behind him, the battle for 2nd was emphatic – multiple cars chasing the position, with nothing between them. It would be Kenzie Kopacz who took 2nd, with 3rd place being awarded to Aiden Duffy.

The Superstox welcomed a couple of visiting drivers as they gear up for the World Championship on the 5th September. Gary Chisolm, Ian Beaumont and Michael Green made the trip north, with Green fairing best of the trio. Chisolm and Beaumont appeared to have a few issues throughout the night. Jordan Black continued his good form and good pace throughout the night, as he took a win in the opening heat, with Adam Low taking the victory in heat 2 – surviving a last lap push from the Michael Green car. Green took the win in the meeting final ahead of Low and Bryan Forrest.

The 2.0 Hot Rods welcomed the return of William Bullar and Allan Gibson – both who had been out of contention after suffering heavy damage on their travels in July. Robbie Daly had issues in practice that ended his night before even taking a green flag. William Buller was in great form on his return, racing to a hat-trick of race victories. Whilst Allan Gibson kept him honest, Buller didn’t appear to be under any major threat.

The Stock Rods once more entertained, though, there were a few untimely casualties during the meeting which we hope won’t see the drivers sidelined for too long. Again, the formula produced three different race winners on the night showcasing the competitiveness of the current crop of drivers. Craig Harrison took the victory in the opening heat, with Jock McEwan taking the second heat. There were strong performances throughout the heats from Baillie Glencross and Dean Heeps as well, with both drivers on the pace. The meeting final went the way of Sean Naismith with Darren McAlpine 2nd and British Champion David Philp Jnr2 being awarded 3rd.

The 1600 Bangers completed the line up, and produced good racing throughout. Ryan Martin and Paul Barron were never far away from each other, and both gave the crowd some good racing with end to end action. Joe Ewart and Dylan Ward came together a couple of times in the final, with Ward giving Ewart a big hit following an earlier coming together. Race wins went the way of Ryan Martin, Paul Barron and Jamie George.

Congratulations to all the winners and podium finishers, and a huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported racing at HRP Lochgelly Raceway.

HRP Lochgelly Raceway produced another action-packed evening of racing on Saturday 15th August, with five formulas taking to the track.

The CC Rod formula took centre stage as they raced for their British Championship after four qualifying rounds throughout the season were used to determine the grid for the main race. The British Championship race was the first race of the night for the formula, and it was a father and son front row – Robert and Liam Conway. Two rolling laps. The tension built. The anticipation of the race grew, and the revs picked up as the green flag approached. As the drivers rolled round, Liam Conway was eager to get the jump and put the foot down as the drivers entered turn 3 and into the lead of the race as the pack continued at rolling lap speed with the green flag dropping as the cars neared the apex of turn 3 into turn 4. Conway Jnr was shown a black cross for jumping the start whilst Robert Conway held off Ian Donaldson and Lee Scott in the opening laps, with Lee Scott ultimately dropping back throughout the race as he struggled. Kevin Donaldson pressurised brother Ian throughout he course of the race, trying a few times to find his way past, but Ian was not for making it easy. As the pair battled, Gavin Ritchie found himself there as well, looking to pick up the pieces should any of them make an error. Liam Conway continued to race clear up front, whilst Robert Conway had a gap develop behind him too. Liam, 167 crossed the line in first, but would be penalised for his jump start, dropping him to third, with Rober Conway 304 moving into first to take the win, and Ian Donaldson 700 into second place. Mike Linton made his debut in the formula in the following heats and was right on the pace – the 13 car surprised a few after appearing to struggle during the pre-race practice. Linton took the win in the second heat, with Gavin Ritchie claiming victory in heat one.

The Stock Rods provided entertaining racing throughout the night with just under 20 cars taking to the track, including the debutant, Chris Hutchison. Hutchison had a few issues on the night which he’ll be hoping to iron out ahead of his next meeting, but showed some good promise. British Champion David Philp Jnr2 didn’t have the best of nights, with his night ending with his car being stretchered off the track after a wheel detaching itself resulting in a heavy impact into the wall in the meeting final – he’ll be hoping to have it repaired quickly to ensure everything is good for the World Championship in just a couple of weeks time. The formula has been highly competitive throughout the season, and that was the same on Saturday – Three different ace winners on the night, a few dockings throughout the course of the evening, and lots of close exciting racing! Heat wins went the way of Stewart Paterson and Baillie Glencross, with Teri Linden taking the win in the meeting final ahead of Robbie Armit and Daniel Davidson.

The National Hot Rods welcomed Darren Scott and Craig McLaren – both on track for the first time this season on Saturday, with McLaren returning after several years out. Cameron Willacy was in great form as he swept to a hat-trick of victories.

The 2.0 Hot Rods seen Robbie Daly make his debut though had a few issues which forced him into retirement early on. Olivia Kryzanowska took her first 2 wins in the formula as she had some good racing with Russell Clacher and Gary Dean, with Gary Dean taking the win in the meeting final.

The ORCi Ministox completed the line up, and produced good racing once more. There wasn’t too much incident, but the racing was competitive as the drivers battled to catch the flying Cody Wilson car. Wilson raced to a hat-trick of victories with Stuart Shevill and Oakley Grief fairing best of the rest. Charlie Largue made his Lochgelly debut, and didn’t put a foot wrong throughout, coming away with some good results.

Congratulations to all the winners and podium finishers, and a huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported racing at HRP Lochgelly Raceway.

HRP Lochgelly Raceway produced another action-packed evening of racing on Saturday 8th August, with five formulas taking to the track, and the Ninja Kart class taking centre stage offering plenty of close racing throughout the meeting.

The ProStocks delivered a superb night of racing, with 755 Paul Barron emerging as the standout performer, taking a hat-trick of race wins. The formula delivered fast paced action in each of the three races as the drivers got stuck in and chased the podium places. Callum Elliott 98 had a better meeting than last time out, as he showed good speed in each of the races, coming away with a couple of top 3 results for his efforts. Chris Mack is a driver in rich form at the moment � A good meeting last time out seen him come into Saturday�s event with good confidence, and was once more on the pace in each of the races.

There was also plenty to celebrate in the Ninja Karts, with the Scrapco Metal Recycling Scottish Championship up for grabs, providing some fantastic racing from the youngsters. Two reverse grid qualifying heats would be used to determine the grid for the main event, with heat wins going the way of 339 Henry Hunn and 7 Rory Wilson. The Scottish Championship was the feature race, and it delivered. 339 Henry Hunn moved into the lead from the opening lap and never looked like being caught having opened up a good gap to those behind who were all in an excellent battled. However, a couple of race cautions would see the pack closed up, and Hunn�s lead evaporate. Alfie MacLeod looked to be the quickest driver in the first few places, however, 9 Jayden Jeffrey had moved into the lead of the race having made the most of a tangle between Hunn and Shevill as they battled for the lead just after the race resumed. Shevill looked quick throughout the race, but got caught up in the battle for 2nd, as Hunn, MacLeod, Rory Wilson and Max Armit hovered. Shevill dropped back a couple of places, but was still in the battle for second. Up front, Jeffrey was focused and determined not to make a mistake, and as the laps closed in, he had opened up a small gap � taking the win by just over one second, whilst second place through to fifth were separated by little over one second! Macloed crossed the line in second, with Hunn third and Rory Wilson fourth. Post race checks though seen the result amended, with Hunn and Wilson moving up a place respectively.

The Superstox produced another competitive night's racing. Byran Forrest 309 took the honours in the final, with Aaron Riddell finishing runner-up and Kenny McKenzie completing the podium. Earlier in the evening, McKenzie snatched a win taking advantage of those battling around him. 611 Adam Low showed good pace throughout the night, taking his first win of the season in the process.

The Junior Productions were out in good numbers � Mia Cross making her first outing of the season in a new Vauxhall Adam. Lucas Whyte made his debut in the formula having made the switch from Ministox. Leeland Dearn has found form at just the right time as we head into the Scottish Championship next time out for the Juniors � Leeland took wins in both heats before finishing in third in the meeting final. Lucas Whyte took to the formula excellently � Leading in large parts in the opening heat, before claiming victory in the meeting final ahead of Aiden Duffy and Leeland Dearn.
Micro Bangers completed the line up with some great action � Josh Anderson 15 made his racing debut, and entertained as he kept coming back for more despite some damage in the early race. Anderson found himself with heavy damage in the meeting final after tangling with Scott Smith. Scott Smith got stuck in throughout the night, whilst Brian Youngson made moves to try and eliminate final leader Sean McConnachie.

With action across all five formulas, the Saturday night crowd at Lochgelly was treated to plenty of entertainment, close racing and championship-quality competition.

Congratulations to all the winners and podium finishers, and a huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported racing at HRP Lochgelly Raceway.

It was two very different days over the 25th and 26th July at our summer speed weekend. Perfect racing conditions on the Saturday night, with a fast dry track, with Sunday afternoon seeing showers and downpours throughout the day. The two contrasting days allowed for a bit of everything though, and the weekend produced some magical racing.

The Unlimited Bangers entertained excellently on the Saturday night much to everyone’s delight. The Unlimited Bangers have seen some ‘roddy’ like race meetings in the past, but Saturday was anything but roddy with the drivers getting stuck in with no more than 7 cars finishing any single race on the night. Sean McConnachie took glory in the Scottish Championship race – a deserving accolade given his commitment to banger racing in Scotland. Sean moved into the lead early on in the race and kept his composure as he navigated through the traffic, avoided the chaos, and maintain a gap to those chasing behind. Lee Clarke set out to entertain, and he entertained the crowd with a couple of head on attempts, before coming to blows with the fast moving Cameron Innes car. Clarke found himself collected by a further couple of cars as he was knocked about like a pinball afterwards. The back straight seen some big hits going in as well, with Jake Calvert, Lee Waller, James Slater and David Sinclair all getting stuck in. Sean McConnachie took the win ahead of the hard chasing Colin Riddell, with Calum Campbell completing the podium positions. Riddell would go on to take the wins in the following two races, with track debutant Charlie Whitfield taking the DD win following some good action with Fraser Combe.

The ORCi Ministox raced over the two days, with out the hat grids to determine the qualifying heats on Saturday night. Three different race winners in the heats, seen Stuart Shevill, Oakley Grief and Jacob Mikulla take the wins. The grid was formed for the European Championship with the collated points from those heats, and it provided a mouthwatering grid for the APEX Garden Buildings European Championship race. The race on the Sunday afternoon was up there with one of the best we’ve seen. There were lots of lead changes, lots of drivers charging from further back the grid and catching the lead pack, with 6-8 cars battling for the lead of the race at points. UK Champion Charlie Weston found his hopes dashed early on as a coming together seen some heavy damage for the 313 car – otherwise, he too would have likely had been in the mix. Corey Mathers, Ollie Sime, Stuart Shevill, Harry Martin, Shaun Boyle, Jayden Roff, and Casey Lee were the ones up front for most of the race and those drivers chopped and changed on a regular basis, lap after lap as the race wore on. Roff found himself spun around and dropped back mid-way through. Lana Middler drove an excellent race as she came from near the back of the grid and up into the top 6 places come the end of the race. It was Northern Ireland’s Harry Martin that took the win though, crossing the line just ahead of Mathers, Sime and Boyle, with Shevill spun on the exit of turn 4 on the last lap. Jacob Mikulla took the win in the Fife Championship race ahead of Shevill and Bailey Wilson, whilst Caitlin Mitchell took the win in the all comers race ahead of Shevill and Cody Wilson.

The 1600 Bangers raced for their Scottish Championship – an event that has seen great racing over the years. However, a few other big meetings of late put a few drivers off, and numbers were down on what we’d hoped for. However, there were some great racing with Ashley Neil and Ryan Martin getting stuck in throughout the meeting. Jamie George and Conor McDougall came away with cars somewhat worse for wear. Dylan Ward took the victory in the Scottish Championship race ahead of Gav Taylor and Adrian Martins. Gav Taylor took the win in the following races, whilst Ashely Neil took the entertainers award.

The Junior Bangers were in action over the two days, with the youngsters providing lots of brilliant racing in meetings that had it all – Rollovers, big hits and lots of overtaking. Dougie Kidd took the first win of the weekend in the opening race, whilst Tommy Melrose took a heat and final double on the Saturday night. Things spiced up a bit on the Sunday as the youngsters starting to put the bumpers in lap after lap in each of the races. Three different winners on the Sunday seen Tommy Melrose, Dougie Kidd and Scott Ramsay Jnr take the wins.

The Rebels Racing teams made the trip north as they raced for their Scottish and European Championships. Making the trip north for the first time since 2022, just under 30 cars took to the track over the weekend, providing brilliant racing. The contact formula produced a number of ‘last benders’, a spectacular rollover, and a few cars climbing over each other over the two days. Rob Jones took the Scottish Championship, whilst Harry Graham took the European Championship win on the Sunday afternoon.

The Superstox raced on the Saturday night, with Dom Currie making his first outing of the season. Jordan Black was with us again, and was in good form throughout the night. Craig Stephen was aiming to defend the John Gibson Memorial Trophy and was certainly in the mood to defend it with a great drive in the meeting final! Aaron Riddell and Kenny McKenzie took the wins in the heats, before an excellent meeting final. Jordan Black led the way for a long time in the race looked to be in with a chance of victory. A race caution dampened his chances though, as the pack closed in behind. In the closing stages, the bumpers went in – Craig Stephen was up there, Aaron Riddell, Bryan Forrest and Jordan Black too. A last corner melay seen the positions swapped around a bit as drivers went wide, spun and got caught up – Riddell took the win ahead of Bryan Forrest, with Benjamin Erskine pipping Craig Stephen to third place.

The Junior Productions completed the line up on Sunday afternoon with some good racing in challenging track conditions. Leeland Dearn and Candice Smart took the wins in the heats, before Rory Wilson took the win in the meeting final in what was a great meeting for our lower graded drivers.
