1400s Set For Battle In McNicoll Memorial

Meeting Date: Saturday 23rd May

Join Our Facebook Event Saturday 23rd May at Lochgelly Raceway – Another exciting Stock Car event producing dramatic and exciting racing like no other motorsport.

Witness motorsport up close and stand just metres from the action. Watch on as the drivers battle at speed around the Lochgelly Raceway oval; With a steel perimiter around the track, there is no margin for error. It's exciting. It's dramatic. It's a fantastic family night out.
It’s a five formula event with multiple exciting races to look forward too.

Featuring
• U Pull It 1400 Stock Cars Craig McNicoll Memorial - The Final Staging
• 1600cc Bangers
• Junior Bangers
• Ninja Karts
• 2.0 Hot Rods

The U Pull It 1400 Stock Cars take centre stage as they race in the final ever Craig McNicoll Memorial. Joshua Machin is the current holder, whilst the winners at the previous two stagings, Gary Nicholls and Darren Rae are both also expected to be in attendance as they look to get their hands on the trophy and shield one last time. It’s great to see that Scott Lindsell has managed to source a car in order to be able to participate at this event – Scott has been one of the front runners in promoting this event over the years and has sought endlessly to secure good prize pots over the years for the drivers competing. There will be no time for emotion once the green flag drops though, as the drivers set about putting on an excellent showing, and displaying some brilliant 1400 Stock Car action – We wish every driver the best of luck and would like to thank the McNicoll family for allowing us to host this event over the years.

The 1600cc Bangers are with us and with driver booking still coming in, we are hopeful of an exciting race meeting for the formula – The banger class is capable of producing some top notch racing as the drivers chase the extra prize money – though an entertainer award will be included in the meeting prize pot this weekend should a driver look to chase after that money! There are a good mix of both Scottish and English based drivers booked in to compete as the Scottish based drivers chase World Final Qualification though HRP.

The youngsters in the Junior Bangers are with us once more as they continue to produce exciting racing in the early stages of the Scottish series. The formula is gradually growing with more drivers taking an interest – Caitlin Mitchell had a go in one a few weeks ago, whilst this time out, we hope to see former Ninja Kart star Rayah Burns take to the track as well. There are a couple of drivers on the naughty step this week though, so we won’t see a full contingent of cars on track, but the future bodes well for the class, with several of the drivers already keen to move into National Bangers in the years to come once they reach 16 years old. The Junior Banger formula has so far seen a few exciting meetings, with a mix of drivers taking wins, alongside entertaining on track action.

The Ninja Karts are the stars of the future – though, we have a few stars already on the grid. This weekend we will see a few visitors join us including Mason Carberry, George White, Jaxon Stone, Jaxon Souter and the recently crowned Best in Britain winner, Johnny Wheeler. Closer to home we’ve a fight that has once more gone to the wire as the youngsters complete their National Points campaign ahead of the World Championship in June. Henry Hunn is eager to get his hands on the title, but Rory Wilson will be doing his utmost to hang onto the title that he has held over the last couple of seasons. Lochie Heeps is set to make his debut in the class.

The 2.0 Hot Rods complete the line up, with Gary Dean set to make his long awaited debut in the class, whilst recently crowned European Champion Charlie Hardie will be showing off his new roof title for the first time.

We hope that you enjoy your visit with us at HRP Lochgelly Raceway. Pick up a fixture list at the main reception to see what we have in store for the rest of the season.
