  Everyone connected with Tullyroan Oval were very saddened to learn of the passing on Boxing Day of Derek Mason, or 'Big D' as he was affectionately known to us all.
For many years Big D has been our relief commentator at Tullyroan Oval, and previously at Nuttscorner Oval, and even at short notice would have stood in at any meeting when Alan Milligan was unavailable. He was of course the regular man on the mic at neighbouring Nutts Corner Raceway and Ballymena Raceway, and while Stock Car Racing was a great passion of Derek's, Motorcycle Road Racing was his first love.
For decades he was the voice of Motorcycle Road Racing right across the island of Ireland, and further afield on occasion too. His annual trip to the Isle of Man TT Races was the highlight of his year, and many a story about that was told from the commentary box each and every season. As well as being an enthusiastic commentator, he was also the man who rigged up the temporary PA systems at all the road races, and was also a skilled technician by trade. He was also the man who designed and sourced the state-of-the-art PA system in place at Tullyroan Oval.
His commentary style was unique to say the least, but we all just laughed at times as he was simply Big D - that was just his style whether he be at the Stock Cars, Motorbikes, Karts or even running the regular Nights at the Races that have helped so many drivers raise funds for their racing activities. When we in Race Control asked him to announce that a certain driver had been docked or disqualified he always started "Don't blame me, I'm only the messenger...!"
Derek's passing is a great loss to Oval Racing and Motorcycle Racing, but I'm sure we can all take comfort knowing that he died doing what he loved most. To his family circle and close friends, Davy McCall, Darren Black and everyone involved with Tullyroan Oval offer their sincere sympathies at this difficult time. |

 More rule and specification updates for 2013 are now available.
The ProStocks biggest race of the year comes to Tullyroan Oval in 2013, when the World Cup is staged in September. A few minor tweaks have been made to the rules and they will once again produce massive grids in 2013, with a whole host of new drivers set to join the already bulging fields. The major change sees the £40 tyre rule now applicable to all drivers regardless of grade.
The Junior Productions rules are also now available to download, and whilst they see no major changes for this coming season, there is prior notice of a proposed increase to 1400cc in 2014. This will make engines etc more accessible and easier to source, thus reducing the cost.
To view the latest specs, click on 'Drivers' in the menu bar above, then 'Formulae & Rules' and then select the desired class. |

 Tullyroan Oval in association with Spedeworth Motorsports are pleased to welcome NIOvalTV on board as headline sponsors of our mini series for the all-new Superstox at Tullyroan in 2013.
NIOvalTV have been filming our race meetings at Tullyroan Oval since the start of 2012, and their DVD's and YouTube clips have become very popular indeed with race fans, both local and across the Irish Sea. The men behind NIOvalTV, Brian Lammey and Jonny Teggart, have for some time now been looking at a way to put something back into the sport they both love and enjoy. Hence the arrival of the NIOvalTV Superstox Series!
NiOvalTV will provide a new Hoosier tyre to the winner of each of the first two rounds of the series, with the number of new tyres on offer being increased for the Grand Final, scheduled for September 7th. In addition, every driver who competes in the series will be presented with a DVD covering all races in the series - a very generous gesture indeed.
NIOvalTV will also be be backing the Best Presented Car Award at our biggest National Banger meeting of the season, Shamwreck 2013.
Everyone involved with Tullyroan Oval in association with Spedeworth Motorsports are very grateful to Brian and Jonny for their very kind sponsorship. Remember that a full season of racing from Tullyroan Oval can still be purchased through the NIOvalTV website, and will make great stocking fillers for any oval racing fan at Christmas. |
