Super Summer Speedweekend at Aghadowey Oval |
 |
A fantastic Summer Speedweekend at Aghadowey Oval saw some great racing, as a number of major championships were contested by drivers from right across the British Isles. The Ninja Karts World Championship was the feature event which fell to Cork’s Dillon Murphy after a sensational race, whilst Bleary’s Drew McKeown took the honours in the 2.0 Hot Rods European Championship.
Antrim teenager Leyton Hughes won the first ever National Championship in the Junior Productions whilst Waringstown driver Ross Houston was the victor in the Lightning Rods European Cup.
Ninja Karts
Thirty-six 6-11 year old drivers had battled hard all year to qualify for the first ever Aghadowey Oval staging of the Ninja Karts World Championship, sponsored by LJN Motorsport and Scrapco. Three keenly contested qualifying heats saw wins for Cumbria’s Jayden Jeffrey in the opener before another English driver, Johnny Wheeler, took heat two. The final heat also went to England, as Kent’s Henry Hunn took the honours.
Sunday’s World Championship final was an absolute cracker, as Scotland’s Alfie Shevill, and England’s George Copper scrapped out front with Hunn getting involved too. Then Dillon Murphy from the Republic of Ireland joined in the lead tussle, before a last lap caution period was called when Charlie Major rolled over on the back straight. The atmosphere was electric as they went for a one lap dash to the flag for the formula’s biggest prize, and it was Murphy who edged past Cooper to take the win in sensational style, joining his former National Hot Rods World Champion father Shane as a gold roof holder! Cooper, Jaxon York, Hunn and Harley Flegg completed the top finishers after a stunning event.
The reverse grid Revenge race saw a win for Scotland’s Rory Wilson, before Rory once again came through to win a hotly contested Irish Open Championship to end the weekend’s racing. Hunn, Murphy and Christopher Lattka completed the top four.
2.0 Hot Rods
The opening 2.0 Hot Rods qualifying heat fell to Scotland’s World Champion Jason Secker, before the Best brothers from Dungannon, Andy and Adam, took a win each in heats two and three. Consistency earned Bleary’s Drew McKeown pole position for the Cherry Pipes European Championship final, with Portadown’s Jordan Rochford alongside. There was a frantic start to proceedings and an early caution period, but McKeown remained in full control out front ahead of Rochford. Drew reeled off the remaining laps with ease to record his second European title win in superb fashion, heading home Rochford, Secker, Conor Hughes and Adam Best at the chequered flag.
The European Revenge race fell to Londonderry veteran Colin McFarland after an outstanding drive, before the NI Open Championship completed proceedings with Secker taking a deserved win over the impressive pair of James McKinney and Adam Weir.

junior Productions
The first ever National Championship for the Junior Productions was their feature race, and the teenagers all drove superbly over the weekend to provide some great racing. The heats fell to Antrim’s Leyton Hughes, Portadown’s Jack Morrison and Banbridge driver Noah Teggart to set up a titanic battle for the Cherry Pipes National Championship and the right to wear the gold roof for the next twelve months.
Morrison got the jump at the start of the National title race, with Hughes keeping a watching brief from close quarters. There was heavy backmarking traffic ahead, and as Morrison made the slightest of hesitations, Hughes pounced to grab the lead. Leyton stormed home over the remaining laps to take the title, celebrating by climbing onto his roof in front of the packed stadium! Morrison was a gallant runner up after a sterling drive, with Andrew Russell from Donegal in third ahead of Ryan Berry, Casey Cherry and Teggart.
Sunday’s Irish Open Championship saw heat wins for Hughes, Russell and Morrison, before Hughes was again the man on a mission as he took the honours in the title race ahead of Russell, Berry, Morrison and Teggart.
National Hot Rods
The elite National Hot Rods were in action on Sunday for the first round of the 2025/26 World Series NI. Portadown’s former World Champion Glenn Bell gave a dream debut to his stunning new Ginetta by taking the first heat win over Allen Cherry and James Mooney, before Thomas Dilly drove superbly on a slippery track to take heat two by a whisker from Adam Maxwell and Bell.
Bell was back in control in the final, streaking clear and taking a decisive win despite what looked like some mechanical issues nearing the end. Cherry was runner up once again, with Derek Martin and Shane Murray taking third and fourth.
Lightning Rods
The Lightning Rods formula were contesting the European Cup, with the excellent heats falling to Meath’s Jake Morgan and World Cup holder Mark Corry of Portadown. The European Cup final was totally dominated by Waringstown racer Ross Houston, as he pulled well clear to record an emphatic victory. Nigel Jackson came through to second having started at the rear after an engine change after an opening heat failure. Mark McBurney was another to impress in third place after a stirring debut drive.
Sunday’s NI Open saw heat wins for Jackson and Corry, before Jackson went on to dominate the final, taking the win at ease ahead of Stuart Agnew and Corry.
Stock Rods
A big field of Stock Rods contested the King of Aghadowey on Saturday evening, with the heat wins shared by Republic of Ireland drivers Declan O’Connor and Eogan Burke. The final saw Siobhan Martin lead from the off having qualified superbly on pole position, but she was caught out by an errant backmarker within sight of the flag which scuppered what looked like a nailed on victory. Armagh’s Mark Foster quickly capitalised to grab the win ahead of Dan Shannon and the recovered Martin.
