Riordan Claims World Series NI As Goldie Is Again Crowned King of Aghadowey |
 |
All the drivers coped admirably with the horrendously wet conditions at Aghadowey Oval on Saturday night, May 24th. In the National Hot Rods, Cork’s Jeff Riordan powered to the final victory which also sealed his win in 2024/25 World Series NI. In the Thunder Rods, Ballymena star James Goldie was once again crowned King of Aghadowey for a remarkable sixth time in seven years, whilst Suffolk youngster Mason Carberry took a heat and final double in the Ninja Karts.
There was also a feature race win for Antrim’s Conor Hughes (2.0 Hot Rods), whilst Portadown’s Nigel Jackson showed his wet weather supremacy with a hat-trick in the Lightning Rods.
A smaller than usual field of National Hot Rods contested the 14th and final round of World Series NI, with Kells driver Derek McMillan stamping his authority all over the heats with two decisive wins. In the opener he led home Ian Riordan, before Derek Martin snatched second in heat two after a great race long battle with Shane Murray.
The final was lined up in season long points order, which paired Jeff Riordan and Murray on the front row. Just as it looked like Jeff would control the race all the way once he doused Murray’s early challenge, his brother Ian arrived to make it a family fight at the front. Ian did go ahead at a stage, but Jeff fought back to claim the win on the night he also sealed the World Series NI title. Ian Riordan, Murray and Martin completed the top finishers in what was at this stage almost torrential rain.
Twenty four Thunder Rods came under starter’s orders for the first qualifying heat of the King of Aghadowey title. There was a great battle for much of the distance out front, with Adam Graham getting the nod at the line over Mark McLaughlin and James Goldie. Heat two was another keenly fought affair, with Goldie using the outside line to relegate initial front runners Jordan Nicholl and Jason Darragh to take the win. Nicholl and David Reynolds completed the top three.
Goldie and Adam McKinney shared the front row on aggregate points for the big final, with Goldie settling in ahead of Graham and Dean Catherwood early on. It was a great scrap between the three, with Graham actually getting ahead at one point before Goldie fought back to take the win, his sixth King of Aghadowey crown in the past seven years which is a phenomenal record. Graham, Catherwood and McKinney rounded out the top spots.

Scottish Points Champion Charlie Hardie bolstered the 2.0 Hot Rods grid, with Dean McFarland driving superbly to lead the opening heat before local man Aaron Stewart stormed through to win over Ally Neill and James McKinney. Heat two was another great race, with Chris McCloy and Alan Wilson disputing the lead before Neill found a way ahead after a late caution. Stewart then got under Neill in the slippery conditions to take his second win of the night ahead of Neill and Conor Hughes.
The final was run in the worst of the conditions of the night, with Neill ahead and using a very wide line out near the wall searching for grip. Mick Rodgers and Hughes were right in the mix too, and Hughes went ahead when Neill over-cooked it late on and glanced the barrier to end his challenge. Conor took a hard earned win over Rodgers, Adam Best in his new car and McKinney.
Visitors from England, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland raised the Ninja Karts entry to well into the twenties, with Suffolk’s Mason Carberry having a fantastic last couple of laps in the first heat to snatch the win right at the death ahead of Evan Beattie and Eddie Fowler. Whilst Beattie just missed out on the opening heat win, he made no mistake in heat two as he impressed greatly to lead home Matthew McNeill and Ollie Williamson for his first ever victory.
The final saw Beattie and Harry Hoy battling out front, and they were then joined by Fowler and Williamson. Williamson hit the front but as they started the last lap a caution was called for a driver stranded on turn four. On the one lap shootout to the chequered flag Ollie just couldn’t withstand the pressure from English Champion Carberry, as Mason powered through to claim his second win of the night ahead of Williamson and Jack Murphy.
Wet weather specialist Nigel Jackson was the man to beat in the Lightning Rods, slicing through the field in the opening heat to win ahead of Ross Houston and Stuart Agnew. Heat two was perhaps the race of the night in any formula, as Jackson and Houston jousted wheel to wheel for the race distance. Nigel took the win by a whisker from Ross, before Jackson also went on to complete his hat-trick in the final after relegating early leader Conor Doherty. Houston came through to take second with Doherty holding on for third.
