Christie At The Double But It's Martin's NI Title |
 |
The elite National Hot Rods formula completed their 2021/22 Simpson Race Exhausts World Series NI at Tullyroan Oval on Saturday night, with Crumlin’s John Christie taking a very impressive heat and final double. The overall winner of the year long points chase was Dungannon’s Derek Martin, who was crowned NI Champion for the second year in succession.
There were large entries in every formula on show, which led to some terrific racing for the big crowd enjoying a fine summer’s evening on the terraces. Banbridge’s Denver Grattan claimed an enthralling 2.0 Hot Rods final win, whilst north west drivers Ryan Nixon, Reece Pollock and Gavin Gamble won the Rookie Bangers Irish Teams Championship for their ‘Bad Company B’ outfit.
Hampshire visitor Jack Jones took the honours after a fine drive to take the Ninja Karts Tullyroan Challenge Cup, and another Banbridge driver, Colin McNiece, was equally as impressive on his way to the Stock Rods silverware.
A very impressive field of 23 cars arrived for the fourteenth and final round of Simpson Race Exhausts World Series NI for National Hot Rods, the grid bolstered by welcome visitors Jeff Riordan and Les Compelli from the Republic of Ireland series. Returnee to the fold Terence McConalogue from Donegal took the opening heat win after relegating Gareth Bevan, before former World Champion John Christie took a super heat two victory after chasing down pacesetters McConalogue and Derek McMillan.
The final was lined up in year-long series point’s order, with Christie getting the jump off the line to take the lead. John showed some electric pace to race home to a well deserved win, with Derek Martin coming home second to seal his NI Championship victory as World Series NI points winner.
Teenager Adam Weir impressed greatly in the 2.0 Hot Rods, taking both heats from the novice grade with a great turn of speed. He led home Ryan McCrory in the opener before David Kernohan chased him under the chequers in heat two.
The final was a tremendous race, even if it did lack a little discipline at times. Weir’s automatic upgrade to the yellows saw him harrying Kris Fitzpatrick for the lead right from the off, as the whole pack then began to close together with the gradings working to perfection. Gary Fowler tried and failed to get around the lead duo, before Denver Grattan made a great fist of it on the wide line. Fitzpatrick and Weir then nibbled at each other and swapped places, the contact almost causing a huge crash on the back straight. Once it all settled down Grattan had hit the front and he took a very deserving win over Scott Cochrane and Drew McKeown.

A twenty car Stock Rod entry included Michael Scanlon and Shane O’Connor from Tipperary, with a frantic and entertaining opening heat falling to recent form man Michael Rodgers after a Stewards Enquiry. Race Control were kept busy in heat two as well, as on the road winner Samuel Wilson copped a penalty which elevated Dan Shannon to victory lane over Sam McNeice.
Fergie Bevan showed his best form of late to lead the final for a distance, before Colin McNiece swooped past to take up the running. Whilst Mark Crawford and Jonny Cardwell squabbled behind him, Colin kept all under control to take an impressive win. Curtis Greer and Joe Largey filled the podium spots, after Crawford and Cardwell were docked for contact.
Ten visiting drivers from England and Scotland were amongst a Ninja Karts grid of twenty six young 6-11 year olds, many chasing track time ahead of their World Championship at the venue in July. With a new kart at his disposal, Dungannon’s Ryan Abernethy Jnr took the opening heat win ahead of England’s Jack Jones and another Dungannon youngster, Ben Hawe. Abernethy then repeated the feat with another win in heat two, a race which will long be remembered for a huge triple rollover for Rowdy Grattan. England’s Murray Hall was runner up in this one with Hawe in third once again.
The final was a super race, with Abernethy again out front until he got outfoxed in the traffic late on by Jones. Jack came through to take a fine Tullyroan Challenge Cup win ahead of Abernethy, Noah Teggart, Hall and Charlie Weston.
The Rookie Bangers delivered great action all night, with a grid of 34 cars thrilling the crowds in their Irish Teams Championship. ‘The Hooligans A’ drew first blood with a win for Phillip Farrell in the opening heat in a drama filled race, before Dan Dooner sped to the heat two win for ‘Team Juice’.
The double points final was every bit as frantic as the heats, even coming down to a one-lap dash to the flag after a late stoppage. Ryan Nixon got into the lead in the closing stages and it was that win that sealed the Irish Teams Championship for his ‘Bad Company B’ outfit which also included Reece Pollock and Gavin Gamble. Josh Goligher and William McFaul were second and third in the final, ahead of long time leader Matthew McKinstry.
