Martin Wins Dramatic Tullyroan National Hot Rod Final |
 |
A breathtaking National Hot Rods final at Tullyroan Oval on Saturday night, March 29th, had the fans on their feet right to the chequered flag, as Dungannon’s Derek Martin took the honours in a dramatic finale. On a night a quality racing throughout the five formulas on show, sixteen-year-old Portadown driver Callum Doak marked his debut in the 2.0 Hot Rods with a very impressive heat and final double, whilst Loughgall’s Jamie McCann scooped the Tullyroan Challenge Cup for the Superstox.
Ballymena’s Conor Doherty held on to take the Lightning Rods final victory, whilst a hard fought Rookie Bangers session saw Garvagh’s William McFaul score a hat-trick to win the Spring Classic.
An outstanding field of 21 National Hot Rods came to grid for Round 9 of World Series NI – a sight and sound to behold under the floodlights of the Tullyroan bowl. Johnny McCloy has had all sorts of mechanical issues over the past number of outings, but it all came together for the Garvagh driver as he took the opening heat win at a canter ahead of the evergreen Keith Martin and Nigel McAuley. The spectacle was outstanding with such a big field, and McCloy repeated the feat in heat two with another victory, this time ahead of the new Ginetta of Thomas Dilly, Dean McCrory and Gary Woolsey.
McCloy again set the pace in the feature race final, and looked odds on to complete his hat-trick until a late caution period was called for the stranded Dilly car on turn two. The double file NASCAR style restart gave Allen Cherry the opportunity to power ahead, but he clipped McCloy and ended up in the Annaghmore End wall, bringing out another caution. This time former World Champion Derek Martin pulled off the perfect restart to hit the front, taking his new Maxda MX5 to a great win to complete a sensational session of National Hot Rod racing. McCauley, Shane Murray and Ian Riordan completed the top places.
An excellent entry of 2.0 Hot Rods broke the 20-car barrier, with Junior Productions graduate Callum Doak showing the rest of the field the way home in the opener to take the win after a very solid drive indeed for a sixteen year old. Ally Neill and Adam Weir completed the top three. Doak again led heat two from the front, but this time Neill pulled clear of the pack to chase him down and take the win. Doak held on superbly for second with Dean McFarland in third spot.
Doak once again stepped off the line to lead the final, with Rodgers and Ronan McNally jousting for second spot. It’s quite a step up from a Junior Production to a 2.0 Hot Rod, but Callum showed experience way beyond his years to romp home to his second success of the night, and in some style too. Behind the flying teenager, Rodgers, Weir and McNally could all be pleased with a good night’s work as they filled the places.

The local Superstox were joined by welcome Scottish visitors Aaron Riddell and Kenny McKenzie for the Tullyroan Challenge Cup. Neil Hyndman led most of the way in the opening heat before he lost out to fast moving former World Champion Kyle Beattie. Beattie was originally docked two places for jumping the start, but was re-instated to the win following a successful appeal. Hyndman again led heat two for a distance, but this time it was an impressive Paddy Murphy who roared through to take the flag ahead of Hyndman and Steven Haugh.
The closed grid final paired Murphy and Hyndman on the front row, and the bumpers clattered in during the opening exchanges which sent most of the field out to the wall. Through the melee Jamie McCann hit the front from the fourth row of the grid, and he would go on to take an impressive win in his new car. Haugh chased him down for all he was worth but just couldn’t get on terms, with Beattie taking third spot.
Dermot Tynan led the opening Lightning Rods heat for much of the distance before losing out midway to Nigel Jackson who went on to take the win over Ross Houston and Mark Corry. Heat two saw Houston go one better, taking the win over World title holder Stuart Agnew and Jackson.
The final saw Ian McCune take a healthy early lead, chased by Conor Doherty. Doherty soon went ahead, with Houston chasing him down in the closing stages. Doherty held on for a great win, with Houston, McCune and Jackson filling the places.
The 1600 Rookie Bangers were lively all evening, with William McFaul racing clear to win the opening heat ahead of Stephen Boyd. The action continued apace in heat two as McFaul again took the flag ahead of Gavin Gamble and Stephen Goligher.
The Spring Classic Final saw Chris Herron and Jason Goodman get their noses ahead early on, but there was no stopping McFaul who powered past to take the win to complete his hat-trick for the night. Steven Bolton and World Champ Lucas Goligher filled the places.
