Having watched his Uncle Mark take the final victory last week in the 2.0 Hot Rods, Adam Heatrick repeated the feat for the family with a controlled drive to the chequered flag, as Adam Hylands and Davy Clarke closed in nearing the end. Clarke earlier inherited the win in the first heat after on-the-road victor Wayne McClure lost all his positions for the day after failing the post-meeting weight checks. Glen Hetherington took the other heat win.

Another famous name on the Ulster oval scene hit the top of the Junior Productions leaderboard for the first time on Sunday, when Bradley McKinstry, son of former F2 star Darren McKinstry, took an excellent heat and final double for his first ever wins in the class. In the final he held off Kyle Hill and Derek McMillan to the flag, with the other heat falling to another rising star, Fionn Donnelly.

For a number of reasons the ProStocks were well down in numbers, but still put on an excellent show. Ryan Abernethy took heat one in his Tigra, now blue graded of course, and looked set to take the second before a puncture handed the initiative and the win to Richard Harper. Irish Champion Dave Morrison was the man to beat come final time though, scything though to the trophy ahead of Harper and Ryan Stewart.

The Lightning Rods were contesting the penultimate round of their World Qualifying Series, and National Champion David Hearst returned to form to card the first win of the night, with Ricky Shaw , another who’s been off the boil in 2010, taking heat two. The final was all about a titanic battle between Jason Devlin and World Champion Stephen Emerson, with Devlin holding on despite Emerson’s attempts on the outside and numerous blue flags for Jason. Emerson held on for second from Andy Cochrane.

Lee McCracken picked up where he left off by winning the first Junior Production heat from Jack Gilpin, before young Shane McMillan brought the house down with a superb win in heat two – his first ever victory – after holding off brother Derek to the flag. Jordan Rochford then picked up his first final victory of the season, stamping his authority on the race from the blue grade to hold off Derek McMillan and McCracken at the chequers.

The Reliant Robins again entertained the fans, and following sterling work by the promotion there was a much improved turnout of 11 of the 3-wheelers. Jimmy Beattie made short work of it though with a straight hat-trick of victories from the red grade, including the final which saw a double rollover for Bevan brother and sister Darren and Haley. Haley in fact caught as much air as has ever been seen at Nuttscorner, somersaulting through the sunset in a momentous roll. With the promise of even more cars for their next meeting, the Robins will continue to provide the novelty value in the months to come.
