The CC Rod Scottish Championship took centre stage at Lochgelly Raceway on Saturday 9th September, but there were three other great formula on track as well, ensuring a spectacular night of racing was had, with plenty of action, and some great close racing.

The CC Rods started their night off with a random draw, that would determine the starting positions for the opening heat, with the 2nd heat reversed, with the accrued points determining the grid for the main Scottish Championship race. Kevin Hutchison was the reigning champion, and was out to defend his title. A number of changes to the car during the week seen Hutchison back to his best form on the night, as he scored some of his best results of the season to date. Alec Cunningham started the night off in the best possible manner, as he swept to a win in the opening race of the night. Kevin Hutchison found his way into 2nd place, whilst Lee Scott took a third place finish. There were some great drivers throughout though, with Ian Christie looking sharp and on the pace too, making multiple great overtakes throughout, as he brought his car home in 4th place. Steven Adair and Gregor Whyte both looked to have good pace too. Heat 2 would see Steven Adair take a great race win, as he led from pretty much start to finish. Behind him, James Dickie took a 2nd place finish, but looked to have a good battle on his hands, with Ian Christie in close contention. A coming together with a back marker Kyle Hutchison, seen Hutchison lose control to be collected by the oncoming Ian Christie, putting an end to both drivers chances in that race. Graham Campbell said thank you very much though, as he moved into 3rd place as a result. The Scottish Championship race seen Alec Cunningham start on pole position, with reigning champion, Kevin Hutchison alongside. As the race got underway after a rolling lap, it was Cunningham that moved into the lead early on, though Hutchison did try to make a move on the outside, but it wasn’t to be. Hutchison dropped in behind the Cunningham car and pressurized him for the remainder of the race, attempting an outside manouver on various occasions. As the lead two battled, Steven Adair who had found great pace on the night, found himself in third place, and closing the gap on the lead two. As the laps ran down, Adair was within striking distance of Hutchison and Cunningham – but being a non-contact formula, it was a case of all or nothing in the last laps as he tried a move around the outside with nothing to lose. It wasn’t to be though, as Cunningham crossed the line in first ahead of Hutchison and Adair behind. Gregor Whyte took a fourth place finish, with Graham Campbell in fifth, and Brian Allen in 6th.

The National Hot Rods raced in their third world qualifying round of the campaign, with just under 10 cars taking to the track, with a number of drivers in refreshed liveries. Marc Spence and Ian Donaldson were two such drivers, with both cars looking superb. Doug McLean started off the evening from the front of the blue grade, and continued his fine run of form, as he claimed another race victory. Ross McWilliam put in some great lap times to bring his car across the line in 2nd place, with Alex Wilson holding off William Hardie to cross the line in third. Heat 2 seen the grids reversed within the grades, and Ian Donaldson was in a racey mood, as he stormed to a commanding victory in heat 2. Doug McLean crossed the line in 2nd, and William Hardie in 3rd. A mid-race incident seen Ross McWilliam and Ross Alexander crash out of contention, with a multitude of cars all having near misses in the same incident as the group raced into turn 1. The meeting final seen William Hardie move to the front of the pack around the mid-way stage, having overcame the blue graded drivers. Hardie had a good lead at this stage, though a fast moving Ross McWilliam closed the gap considerably in the 2nd half of the race, with McWilliam crossing the line just a car length or so behind the Hardie car. Doug McLean took another podium finish away with him, in what was a fine night of racing for the 65 pilot.

The Superstox raced for their John Gibson Memorial trophy, and there was going to be a new name on the trophy, with neither Colin Frame or Ciaran Adams taking to the grid – the 2 previous race winners of the event. David Frame made a return to racing, but struggled throughout the night as he continues to overcome a long term injury. Frame tried his best though, and would find himself in an intriguing battle with Kenny McKenzie in the final, with both drivers giving each other a big hit or two in the process. Jack Turbitt took a win in the opening heat, with Mark Brady and Dean Johnston in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Heat 2 seen Jordan Black take a well deserved win, with Bradley Brooker and Jack Turbitt completing the top three. The meeting final seen the grades closed up somewhat, and this allowed for some great battles throughout the race. Connor Mason continued to set the pace in the early stages of the race, but would find himself swallowed up by the pack around the midway point, as he dropped back the order. Lee Livingston moved to the front and never looked back, opening up a commanding lead in the 2nd half of the race, and would go on to take victory and become the third winner of the John Gibson Memorial trophy. Jack Turbitt took 2nd place, with Jordan Black finishing in 3rd.

The ORCi Ministox were the fourth formula in attendance, with around 20 cars taking to the track on the night. The youngsters never fail to disappoint, and Saturday was no exception, with some great racing, hair raising moments and great excitement in each of the four races. Shaun Boyle was arguably the driver of the night, having crossed the line first in 2 of the four races. Boyle would find himself demoted in heat 1 for a jump start, dropping him down into third position – with David Philp Jnr inheriting the race win. Philp Jnr was another driver that was in great form from the blue grade, and really looks to have found his feet in the formula now too, in the mix of the action, and grinding out great results for his efforts. Ollie Sime took 2nd place in heat 1 behind the aforementioned David Philp. Heat 2 would see Charlie Hardie take victory ahead of Hamish Plenderleith and David Philp. The meeting final was another great race, with Plenderleith looking like a force to be reckoned with as he took the race win ahead of Rhys Kelly and Rian Mitchell. An all-comers race to round the evening off would see another great result for some of the lower graded drivers – Shaun Boyle taking victory ahead of David Philp and Ollie Sime. Caden Abernethy finished in fourth place – perhaps one of his best results to date here at Lochgelly Raceway.

The racing is back in action on Saturday 16th September, with the 2.0 Hot Rod Scottish Championship taking place. The ProStocks, Ninja Karts and Stock Rods all also feature.
