Big Banger Wins for Bolton and Holmes |
 |
A fantastic afternoon of Banger racing entertained the sun drenched crowds at Aghadowey Oval on Sunday. Ballymoney’s Steven Bolton successfully defended his Shamwreck title in the Unlimited National Bangers, whilst Birmingham visitor Joey Holmes Jnr took the win in the 1600 Rookie Bangers Irish Open Championship.
The support races saw feature race wins for Bangor’s Craig McConnell in the Superstox and Portglenone’s Clifford Gordon in the Thunder Rods, both drivers having earlier won a heat too.
First up for the Unlimited National Bangers was their main event, Shamwreck 2023. Leonard Dunn burst ahead early on in the race, before rear end damage saw him drop out of contention. That handed top spot to Kieran McIvor, but he couldn’t withstand the advances of defending champion Steven Bolton, as the former World Champion swept past to make it two in a row ahead of McIvor and Deano McGrath.
The Allcomers saw a great dice for the lead between Bolton and Gordy McKee for much of the distance, with the lead swapped on a number of occasions. Bolton just had the edge when it mattered most, taking the flag ahead of McKee and McGrath
The Dash for Cash race saw Dunn take the victory, after only just surviving clipping the stranded Jonathan Compelli car on the home straight. The meeting concluded with the James ‘The Cat’ Smith Memorial Destruction Derby which fell to Strabane’s Tony Gillespie in his limousine as the last car moving.
A fantastic entry of 1600 Rookie Bangers took to the track for their opening heat, with English star Joey Holmes Jnr moving past early leader Craig Bodenham to take a clear win over Gavin Gamble and Bodenham.
Heat two was the race of the day, with a titanic battle for the lead with a number of cars involved. Marc Morrell and Gamble had spells out front before Seven Boyd went ahead late on, only to be then spun aside by the others! Another English ace, Swindon’s Brad Wickson, sneaked ahead to take the win over Morrell and the recovered Boyd.
Heat winners Holmes and Wickson shared the front row for the Irish Open Championship final, with Holmes quickly edging clear amidst the chaos all around him. As the action continued right through the event, Holmes took the win in emphatic style ahead of Wickson and Boyd, with Phillip Farrell and Dylan Connolly rounding out the top five.
The Dash for Cash support race fell the way of Boyd ahead of Josh Goligher and William McFaul, before the Destruction Derby was won by Farrell after he finished off Chris Herron on the Brown Trout Bend.

Brian Lammey looked on course for his first ever win in the formula in the opening Superstox heat as he was well clear out front, but his victory hopes evaporated when a caution period was called for a stricken car in the second half of the race. That allowed the star men to pounce on the restart, NI Points Champion Craig McConnell taking the win over Neil Hyndman and Curtis Greer. Heat two again saw Lammey ahead, but this time David Beattie roared through for the win over Steven Haugh and Hyndman.
The final saw Beattie quickly hit the front, with Lee Davison charging him down until he hit trouble and retired. The opened the way for McConnell to mount a challenge for the lead, with Craig then going ahead with two laps to go and hanging on for the win. Beattie had to be content with second ahead of Haugh, Jordan Robinson and Davy Clarke.
Tom Archibald led the opening laps of the first Thunder Rods heat, before Clifford Gordon slipped past to take the win ahead of Sam Preston and Samuel Murphy. Heat two saw first over the line, Adam Graham, docked two places for contact which saw James Goldie elevated to the win with Gordon in second.
Gordon hit the front early on in the feature race final, and the Portglenone driver was not going to be headed as he romped home for his second final win in succession. Murphy was closing in second place, but never close enough to challenge. Archibald, Rab Preston and Norman Purdy were next home.
