Five new young drivers joined the Junior Productions field for the first meeting of the year, and one of them, Ninja Karts Irish Champion Jack Murphy, led the opening heat for quite a distance. On the slippery track experience did tell in the end, with Ryan Berry charging through to win over Caolan Fegan and Casey Cherry. Murphy again impressed in heat two, with Berry again taking the win over Cherry and Andrew Hawe.
The final was all about Murphy though, as 10-year-old Jack, in his first meeting racing cars, stormed home to take the win and the trophy. It was a very popular victory indeed as he held his nerve out front, with Berry and Hawe competing the top three.

A pleasing field of Superstox took to the Tullyroan circuit, and it was Sean Mark and Dean Catherwood who shared the heat wins, as the star men battled hard amongst themselves and couldn’t make up ground to the front of the field.
The final saw Andrew Murphy ahead until he was passed by Mark, who them unfortunately got caught up in an Annaghmore Bend melee. That handed the lead to Catherwood, who duly completed his double for the day by the slenderest of margins from Murphy, with Jordan Robinson in third spot. Catherwood earns himself a rise to the star grade for his brace of wins.

Completing the programme were the Lightning Rods, which saw a number of cars eliminated after a big crash early in the opening heat. Stuart Agnew took victory in that one, before the rest of the afternoon belonged to Ballymena man Mark McBurney. He led home Agnew and Keith Kirwan in heat two, before taking the feature race by a distance from Agnew and Tom Hewitt.

World Champion Jason Secker from Scotland joined a very healthy field of 2.0 Hot Rods, with Ronan McNally and Ally Neill disputing the lead for much of the distance in heat one. A late race caution shook things up, with Irish Champion Jordan Rochford coming through to win from British Champion Conor Hughes and Secker. Heat Two saw Michael Woods take the win over Shane McMillan and Chris Hamill.
The final saw McMillan out front early on, before Neill powered ahead on lap six. Despite the closing attentions of Rochford over the closing stages, Ally held on to take a deserved win. Rochford, McMillan and Hughes completed the top finishers.

A packed field of Stock Rods, including a host of Tipperary Raceway visitors, saw teenager Harry Minish take the win in the first heat from Dan Shannon and Darragh O’Shea, before O’Shea improved to take the heat two ahead of British Champion Siobhan Martin and Victor McAfee.
The final saw a fabulous drive from teenage lady racer Lacey Bevan, as she led the lead for almost the whole distance before tangling with Minish within sight of the flag. That opened the door for experienced campaigner Stevie McNiece, who powered ahead for the win over Declan O’Connor and O’Shea.

The opening Thunder Rods heat saw a clear win for Jason McMullan, as he came home ahead of Nolan Wilson and Mark McLaughlin. Wilson went one better in heat two, taking victory over Adam McMullan and Jason McMullan.
An exciting final again saw Jason McMullan take the victory to earn him the silverware and an upgrade for the next meeting. Chasing him home were Wilson and an impressive drive from Jake Carson.

The National Hot Rods were contesting Round 6 of World Series NI with heat one falling to Kells racer Derek McMillan after an almighty scrap with Davy Clarke for the win. Heat two saw a welcome and well deserved win for Garvagh’s Johnny McCloy ahead of McMillan and NI Points Champion Jeff Riordan.
The final for the Richard Turtle Memorial Cup was a thriller, as McMillan worked his way ahead but soon had National Champion Ian Riordan on his case. Their battle slowed them up, which allowed Glenn Bell, John Christie and Jeff Riordan to join the fun for the closing stages. McMillan was equal to all their advances though, taking his second win of the night and the coveted Richard Turtle Memorial Cup. Ian Riordan and Christie filled out the top three.

Ballymena’s James Goldie, already a three times winner of the event, started from pole spot in the Thunder Rods Irish Championship and quickly moved clear of the pack. Many would have assumed that it was done and dusted at that stage, but step forward Liam Wilson who moved through to second and ran down Goldie’s advantage. Wilson tried inside and outside of the leader, but Goldie is a vastly experienced campaigner and he used everything in his locker to stay ahead. They had to negotiate heavy backmarking traffic near the end, but it was Goldie who hung on for his third Irish Championship win in succession. Wilson was great value in second ahead of Joshua McMullan and Jason Darragh.
The reversed grid Irish Revenge race was kindly sponsored by Autoclean of Limavady, and this time it was Wilson who did grab the honours after a fine drive through the field. McMullan and Alex Mailey completed the top three finishers.

The teenage Junior Productions aces raced for the King of Aghadowey title, with Ryan Berry taking the opening heat from Jack Morrison before heat two fell to Leyton Hughes from the impressive Charlie Johnston.
Hughes immediately hit the front from pole position in the final ahead of Berry and Johnston. But Casey Cherry and Morrison were coming through the pack like a steam train after trouble during the heats. As Hughes completed his dream season with another title win in some style, Cherry and Morrison filled the podium places ahead of Berry and Johnston.

A huge field of Ninja Karts from all across the British Isles took to the grid for the Hollytree Farm sponsored Champion of Champions event, with heat wins falling to England’s Henry Hunn, local star Jaxon Cairns and Scotland’s Rory Wilson.
The final was a superb race, with Cairns and Ollie Williamson having spells out front before Irish Champion Jack Murphy powered through to win over World Champion Dillon Murphy from Cork, England’s Mason Carberry and local driver Rowdy Grattan.
Earlier all the Ulster drivers who hadn’t won a race so far in 2025 took part in the Hollytree Farm Individual Achievement Award. Cahan Bradley quickly assumed the lead and took the win over William Brown and Matthew McNeill.

Stevo McGrath powered ahead in the Unlimited National Bangers Irish Championship race, before a puncture slowed his progress and his nephew Deano McGrath came through for the victory ahead of Steven Reynolds and an ailing Stevo.
Stevo McGrath that grabbed victory in both Allcomers races, before young star of the future Jake Reynolds won the Stephen Bannon Memorial Destruction Derby.

Teenager Tom Hewitt took a clear win in the opening Lightning Rods heat ahead of Dermot Tynan and Ian Hobson, before Mark McBurney claimed victory in heat two ahead of Tynan and Nigel Jackson.
The final saw Hewitt lead early on in the tricky conditions, before McBurney took up the running. But Stuart Angew was coming on strong, taking victory over McBurney and Hewitt.
