Murray In A Hurry At Aghadowey Festive Cracker |
 |
Galgorm’s Shane Murray was on top form at Aghadowey Oval on Saturday December 28th, racing home to the final win in the headlining National Hot Rods division in his Murrays of Randalstown-sponsored Ginetta. On a day of big entries and great racing, young English visitor George Cooper won the Ninja Karts Stars of Tomorrow Challenge after an incredible 36 car final!
Other feature winners were Portadown duo Steven Haugh (Superstox) and Jack Morrison (Junior Productions), whilst Coleraine’s Mark McLaughlin won a frantic Thunder Rods final. The afternoon was completed by an excellent Ladies Only Caravan Destruction Derby that was won by Lexi Crooks.
The National Hot Rods were contesting Round 7 of World Series NI, and in a very slippery opening heat it was European Champion Adam Maxwell who powered through to take the win ahead of Ahoghill’s Philip McCloy and Nigel McCauley. Heat two saw Phil McCloy again setting the pace for much of the distance, before he was overhauled in the closing stages by Cork star Ian Riordan. As Ian celebrated his win, Scotland’s James Mooney and Gary Woolsey filled the places.
The final was an excellent race, with Garvagh’s Johnny McCloy this time breaking clear out front early on. He looked like he might just hold on all the way home, until he was caught out by the conditions and spun aside from the lead. Shane Murray got the run on McCauley in the aftermath of McCloy’s demise to hit the front, and he came home for a great win ahead of the Riordan brothers, series leader Jeff and Ian.
A huge entry of Ninja Karts from all across the British Isles arrived to contest the Stars of Tomorrow Challenge. Each of the three heats featured two thirds of the entry, with the opener falling to Loanends driver William Brown after a great drive ahead of Norfolk’s Thomas Cooper and West Midlands based British Champion Jaxon York.
Heat Two saw a win for England as Dolly Rae Keenan took the win ahead of Hampshire’s European Champion Charlie Weston and Jack Murphy, whilst Weston (in his last ever Ninja Kart meeting before hitting the age limit) then won heat three ahead of English Champion Mason Carberry and George Cooper.
The final saw a packed track as the young stars lined up in points order. Weston immediately went ahead until he was tipped into a spin mid-race by Murphy, which caused a race stoppage and earned the local driver a disqualification. On the restart there was a great battle for the lead all the way to the flag, with Norfolk’s George Cooper taking the win in style over York and his brother Thomas Cooper. Parker Smith made it an all-English top four, with World Champion Lewis Hazlett the first local home in fifth.

A healthy field of Superstox came to grid, with Neil Hyndman getting the better of his brother Gregg to win the opening heat, before Troy Crawford took a welcome win in heat two ahead of World Champion Jordan Robinson and Jamie McCann. The star grade battles had been superb all day, and in the final it was NI Points Champion Steven Haugh who broke clear, running down long time leader Gerard Hartley to take the win. Kyle Beattie and McCann filled the podium slots.
Portadown’s Ryan Jackson was the star turn of the Junior Productions heats, the teenager grabbing both wins in great fashion. In the opener he held off Andrew Russell and Leyton Hughes, before leading home Jack Morrison and Hughes in heat two.
An automatic upgrade for the final for Jackson allowed Owen O’Brien to set the pace out front until he lost out to Morrison. Ryan Berry then surged past to the lead, but despite taking the chequered flag he was docked by the Race Stewards for contact earlier in the race. That elevated Morrison to the win ahead of Russell and Hughes.
The Thunder Rods fielded a great grid of cars for an out of season meeting, and they produced some outstanding racing all afternoon. Ballymena’s Tyler McMaster took a clear win in the opening heat over Mark McLaughlin and Liam Wilson, before Liam Wilson took the honours in heat two after passing long time leader Liam Irwin. Nolan Wilson and McLaughlin filled the places.
The final was led for much of the distance by the impressive Jordan McFetridge, before McLaughlin went past with five to go to take the win. Joshua McMullan made a great effort for the lead over the closing laps but had to be content with runner up spot ahead of Norman Purdy.
Four ladies braved the challenge of the Caravan Destruction Derby. Lauren McCloy, Lesley-Ann McConnell, Lexi Crooks and Terri Murphy entertained in great style as they battled hard and blitzed through the caravans. In the end the last one moving was the impressive Lexi Crooks and she took the chequered flag and the winners trophy.
