Secker On 'Grand' Form At Aghadowey Oval |
 |
Scotland’s 2.0 Hot Rods World Champion Jason Secker was the toast of Aghadowey Oval on Saturday night, when he raced to victory in the coveted Mervyn Emerson Memorial Trophy and in the process collected a cool £1,000 in prize money!
On a night of exciting racing and packed grids, the DMC Gold Cup for 1600 Rookie Bangers went the way of Garvagh’s Stephen Boyd, whilst Antrim teenager Leyton Hughes continued his great run of form in the Junior Productions as he also claimed the DMC Gold Cup. Other feature race winners were Banbridge teenager Harry Minish in the Stock Rods and Limavady’s Josh Young in the Thunder Rods.
With a total of £1700 extra prizemoney on offer (courtesy of Auto Collision Belfast, Countrystyle Burgers and Loanends Commercial Repairs), the 2.0 Hot Rods racing was always going to action packed, and Jordan Rochford got off to the best possible start by taking heat one ahead of welcome visitor Jason Secker in a race that was blighted by oil going down on the track. Heat two saw recent returnee to the formula, multi-champion Adam Hylands, take a flag to flag win over Andy Best and the impressive Secker.
On aggregate points Secker had annexed pole spot for the Mervyn Emerson Memorial Trophy final, and in a blinding start he just held Hylands at bay. There was then a big turn one crash which eliminated a number of cars, with tempers boiling over somewhat for some. At the resumption Secker led from Rochford, and the Scottish ace was able to fend off his attacker all the way home to land the stunning trophy. Behind Rochford, Chris Hamill had his best result in some time with third place ahead of Michael Woods and Jake Devlin.
Over thirty 1600 Rookie Bangers came to grid for their opening heat, and the action was always going to be frantic! With cars spinning and crashing all around, Lee Booth came through for the win just ahead of Josh Goligher, with Brendan Doherty in third. Heat two was another superb event, with Jack Murray taking the win on the road but he was disqualified in post race scrutineering for a technical issue. That elevated Dublin’s Keith McMahon to the win ahead of Dylan Connolly and Stephen Boyd.
The DMC Gold Cup Final delivered once again with some fantastic racing and crashes. The impressive Connolly went ahead early and looked good out front, before Boyd rushed ahead with Doherty in tow. Despite pressuring the front man Doherty just couldn’t get close enough to make a challenge for the lead, and Boyd took the win over Doherty with World Champion Lucas Goligher coming through for third.

With their World Final only a fortnight away, it was pleasing to see a very packed grid of Stock Rods on hand, with a very ill-disciplined heat one falling to Rab Preston who impressed out front. Star men Mark Crawford and Sam McNeice came through for second and third. Aaron Dilly led early on in heat two, before Harry Minish came storming past to take the win ahead of Callum Magill and Jamie Cardwell.
The final was a brilliant race, with a huge mid-field battle amongst a whole pack of cars. Up front Dilly led before losing out to Magill, but Minish was soon closing in. He hit the front, only for Magill to fight back to regain the lead. Harry wasn’t finished though, as he again found a way ahead, holding on to take a great win from the challenging Darragh O’Shea and Magill.
In the Junior Productions the novice graded drivers held sway in both heats. In the opener Sam Torrington took a great win ahead of Ryan Carroll, before Carroll went one better to take his first ever win in heat two ahead of Torrington and Andrew Hawe.
The DMC Gold Cup final saw Torrington and Carroll out front in the early stages, but all eyes were on the fast moving pair of Leyton Hughes and Ryan Berry. They were scything through the pack at a great rate of knots, and were soon bearing down on the now race leader Keegan Turtle. A great battle ensued for the silverware, with Hughes getting ahead late on to take the win in fine style ahead of Turtle and Berry after a fantastic race.
Completing the programme were the Thunder Rods, where it was pleasing to see another big grid on track. Stephanie Hawthorne impressed out front in heat one until a yellow flag brought the field onto her tail, with Rasharkin’s Jason Darrgh edging ahead to take the win over Liam Wilson and Norman Purdy. Heat two saw Wilson improve, this time taking a clear win over Joe Largey and Andrew McLean.
In the final Hawthorne impressed once again by leading until past the halfway mark, before Josh Young powered through to take the victory. Wilson, Darragh and Largey were next across the line.
