A Night for Something New at Tullyroan |
The second meeting of the year at Tullyroan became a night for new dominated by new cars and drivers at Tullyroan as three of the five finals were won by new cars and drivers.
The best dice of the evening was probably between Edmund Davis and Ian Riordan in the Junior Productions, with the two rarely more than inches apart for most of the evening. Davis took the spoils in the heats before Riordan took the final victory when it was stopped early after an incident which seen Riordan across the grass and collecting Graham Fegan who clipped a marker tyre before the car went onto it’s side and into the wall, while Davis was driving around the wall taking avoiding action. I don’t think there is any doubt it’s a good car that Riordan has acquired, but to take the final on his first night in it isn’t bad going either.
In slightly different circumstances Shea Fegan was also going for a flying finish in the Ninja Karts final. Shea led them off with a few laps to go with Adam McFall getting the better of him from the restart, but young Fegan fought back and got the drive off the last bend to get alongside McFall, McFall took the win, but had the start line been a few yards further down the straight I think there is a good chance it would have gone the other way. Earlier in the evening Matthew Nicholl and Niall Creegan had taken the heat wins in the Ninjas.
The Nationals made their first visit to Tullyroan since the corner were reshaped to improve overtaking, I’m not a driver, but from where I was standing it made no difference, so perhaps the drawing board will be out again. Davy Gurney took the opening heat and the final in only his third meeting (I think) in his new Tigra, with Andrew Murray taking heat two.
The ProStocks managed a decent turn out of cars too with lots of tidy new cars on show and some new drivers in the mix too. Conor McElmeel won the opening heat, Jason Kee won heat two and Mark Kingham won the final.
In the Robins Sammy Graham arrived in a well presented new car and then had a spectacular roll. The meeting started full of promise with 8 or 9 cars and then they were down to 4 by the final. Hopefully they’ll be better at Aghadowey. Ian Bolton was a heat and final double winner after Jamie White won heat one.
