Murray Inherits Tullyroan National Hot Rod Win |
 |
The on-track action was as hot as the superb weather at Tullyroan Oval on Saturday night, May 17th, with some sensational racing served up in the sun. Ballymena’s Shane Murray took the feature event of the evening, Round 13 of National Hot Rods World Series NI, whilst The Moffett Shield for the Junior Productions fell to Dungannon’s Andrew Hawe after a great drive.
The other feature race wins on the night went to Larne’s Sam Wilson (Stock Rods), Portadown’s Steven Haugh (Superstox) and Richhill’s Robbie Barnett (Lightning Rods).
James Ginty led the opening National Hot Rods heat until he was relegated by a hard charging Adam Hylands, the local favourite taking the win over Shane Murray and James Mooney. Heat two saw Nigel McCauley take the win over Hylands, after pulling off a great outside pass on early pacesetter Ginty.
Thomas Dilly hit the front early on in the final, before losing out to the hard charging McCauley and Hylands. McCauley attracted warnings from Race Control for his over-robust defence of the lead, before edging clear to take the chequered flag. With a penalty on Nigel almost inevitable, attention switched to the battle for second where Hylands was holding off Jeff Riordan. They got themselves embroiled in backmarkers late on, allowing Murray to box them in and make an audacious swoop around the outside on the last lap to snatch the place. With McCauley demoted in the final analysis, Murray took the honours ahead of Hylands and Riordan after a superb finish.
The opening heat of the Junior Productions was busy to say the least with 18 young drivers on track, but Austin Grattan paid little heed to all that was going on behind him to lead from flag to flag for a great win over Andrew Hawe and leading star man Andrew Russell. Tony Calvin and Charlie Johnston battled hard for the lead in heat two before they tangled, seeing Calvin crash out and Johnston removed from the race as the cause of the ensuing stoppage. Once they got going again Noah Teggart took a fine win from Leyton Hughes and Russell.
The final for the Moffett Shield saw Grattan lead the way until Hawe found a way past to hit the front. Andrew reeled off the remaining laps to take an impressive victory, with Teggart and Jack Morrison filling the top three. Grattan also received an award from the Moffett family as the best white or yellow grade finisher.

A healthy field of over 20 Stock Rods took to the grid for heat one, with recent Junior Productions graduate Harry Minish stamping his authority all over the race to take a commanding win over Joe Largey and Mark Foster. Minish once again repeated the feat in heat two, taking a clear win ahead of Jamie Cardwell and Irish Champion Mark Crawford.
Minish worked his way ahead early ahead in the final , only for mechanical issues to thwart his hat-trick bid. That left Sam Wilson out front, but holding off huge pressure from Foster and Largey. With all three together, Foster’s engine let go in dramatic fashion into turn one, causing a stoppage with 5 laps to go to deal with the subsequent fire and oil spillage. On the double file restart, Wilson superbly hung on for a deserved victory over Crawford and newly crowned British Champion Siobhan Martin.
Brian Lammey sealed a fine opening heat win in the Superstox as he continued his recent good run, just holding off Neil Hyndman on the run to the flag. Heat two saw Jamie McCann take the win, just surviving a huge last bend lunge from Steven Haugh, with Hyndman in third.
Hyndman stretched clear in the final, and looked odds on to take the victory. But Haugh had other ideas, coming on really strong over the closing laps to whittle down Neil’s advantage. Where his last bender in heat two didn’t come off, this time it certainly did as he punted Hyndman wide to race through for a sensational win in the best possible style. Hyndman, McCann and World Champion Jordan Robinson completed the top places.
The Lightning Rods field was boosted by some very welcome visitors from Tipperary Raceway, and it was one of them in Ronan O’Connor who was first across the line in the opening heat. Unfortunately he was docked two places for contact during the race, handing the win to Conor Doherty over Robbie Barnett. Barnett then put his borrowed Ian McCune car to great use in heat two, taking the win having held off late pressure from Doherty and NI Points Champion Nigel Jackson.
The final saw Brian Hickey and O’Connor both have spells in the lead, before Barnett hit the front. Robbie was flying in the BMW, taking his second win of the night ahead of Irish Champion Ross Houston and Jackson.
