2025 May Speed Weekend

Meeting Date: Saturday 10th May

Join Our Facebook Event The first speed weekend of the 2025 season at HRP Lochgelly Raceway takes place over the weekend of Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th May 2025. It promises to be an action packed weekend of racing with THREE major championships up for grabs over the weekend.

The David Philp Commercials National Hot Rods European Championship will see the top drivers from the sports premier non-contact oval racing formula take to Lochgelly Raceway as they aim to wrestle the title away from Northern Ireland’s Adam Maxwell. The formula has seen a number of new silhouettes of car take to the track over the last few years – Lotus, Ginnetta, Mazda, Fiesta – with such models moving aside the likes of the Tigra, and it’s great to see such variation on track. The Nationals will compete in qualifying heats which will determine the grid for the 2025 European Championship race, which will take place on the Saturday night under the lights. The Sunday will see the Scottish Open, Malcolm Chesher Memorial & Stephen McDiarmid race feature.

An expected 36 Stock Rods will take to the track as they race for the 2025 Spedeworth TV British Championship. John Smith will no doubt be in attendance as he looks to defend the title he won in 2024. The Stock Rod formula has delivered some exceptional racing domestically this year, and with the formula’s top drivers from England, Scotand and Ireland expected to be with us, we anticipate a ferocious British Championship! Saturday night will see the drivers will compete in qualifying heats to determine the grid for the British Championship race, which will be held on the Sunday afternoon.

The U-Pull-It 1300 Stock Cars will contest their 2025 Specialist Roofing British Championship. Lee Pearce is the reigning champion and will certainly be in the mix of the action as he looks to defend his title. World Champion, Darren Rae will also be looking to take the title on home soil, whilst Scottish Champion Jamie Stewart will also fancy his chances. But with 30+ drivers on track throughout the weekend, the hard hitting, metal crunching formula will deliver some superb racing, where any driver can come out victorious!! Qualifying heats on the Saturday will see the drivers take to the track for the British Championship on the Sunday afternoon, with the top 44 point scoring drivers making the grid, whilst the Scottish Open will be an all comers event following the British Championship race!

The Classic Hot Rods race for their Chesher Memorial – a prestigious title that the drivers love to race for, and it will be the first time the classics have raced at Lochgelly this season – so it really can be anyones!

The ProStocks join in on the action on the Sunday afternoon – the nudge and spin formula have delivered some great on track action this season here at HRP Lochgelly Raceway, with grids averaging around the 20 car mark.

A reminder, we have 50 50 TICKETS AVAILABLE FROM THE MAIN RECEPTION FOR JUST £1 PER STRIP, WITH HALF THE TAKINGS GOING TO THE WINNER.
