Glory For Giles In 1300 Stock Cars Irish Open
A sensational, sunny Sunday at Tullyroan Oval saw English visitor Joe Giles claim the feature event of the afternoon, the Irish Open Championship for 1300 Stock Cars. The bulging entry produced a superb spectacle with some of the best contact racing seen at the venue for some time.
In the other classes in action at the McKinney Safety Centre of Strabane sponsored meeting, recently crowned British Champion Glenn Bell was victorious in Round 4 of the National Hot Rods World Series NI, whilst fellow Portadown driver Jordan Rochford claimed the Tullyroan Challenge Cup in the 2.0 Hot Rods. Meath’s Jake Morgan took an accomplished victory in the Lightning Rods, with Limavady’s Liam Wilson the Thunder Rods victor.

A huge field of almost forty 1300 Stock Cars took to the grid for their opening qualifying heat, and the action came thick and fast right from the off. Norfolk’s Jake Banwell led initially before Kent star Jacob Bromley edged clear to take the victory over Scottish Champion Jamie Stewart and Banwell. Heat two was every bit as action packed, as another English duo of Joe Giles and Darren Terry-Brand traded blows, and the lead, out front. Terry-Brand went in with a last bend hit, but he just failed to unseat Giles from the top spot by the slenderest of margins in a race that also saw a rollover for Scotsman Stewart.
A win and a third saw Bromley annexe pole position for the Irish Open Championship final from Giles, and the race kicked off with a huge turn one shunt which brought about a stoppage. On the resumption the title battle came down to Giles and Bromley, with Giles hitting the front and edging clear to land the title in great fashion ahead of Bromley. Cullybackey’s World Champion Curtis Greer came through for third ahead of Terry-Brand, Curtis Tebbenham and Ryan Jordan.

There was an early stoppage in National Hot Rods heat one, as NI Champion Jeff Riordan found himself in the wall on turn three. Once they got going again it was his brother, Ian Riordan, who romped home to the win over Shane Murray and Glenn Bell. National Champion Ian repeated the feat in heat two, winning at a canter again from Bell and Jordan McCann.
The final again saw Ian Riordan build quite an advantage early on, but Bell soon set his sights on reducing his deficit. With the laps disappearing, he arrived on Riordan’s bumper before pulling off a sensational outside swoop to claim the victory in superb style. Riordan, John Christie, Murray and McCann filled the places.

It wasn’t the best day at the office for the 2.0 Hot Rods formula, with some ill-disciplined driving seeing a number of penalties handed out and some cars unfortunately damaged. British Champion Conor Hughes pulled off a great pass on early leader Jake Devlin to win the opening heat, before former World Champion Andy Best took heat two ahead of James McKinney and Callum Doak.
There was an early crash in the final which eliminated some runners, with Jordan Rochford hitting the front. Hughes was soon running him down having started down the pack, and despite Rochford looking to be in some mechanical difficulty he held on to take the Tullyroan Challenge Cup ahead of Hughes. Aaron Stewart inherited third spot after both the third and fourth placed drivers over the line were disqualified in the post-race analysis.

Jake Morgan was first over the line in the opening Lightning Rods heat, but the teenager was penalised for contact which handed the win to Mark McBurney over Ross Houston. Heat two saw a clear win for another teenager in Tom Hewitt, as he took the flag ahead of Nigel Jackson in a chaotic race.
The final saw Morgan quickly hit the front after just four laps, and the Meath driver held sway all the way home to win from Houston and Stuart Agnew.

Completing the programme were the Thunder Rods, where Jason Darrgh took the opening heat win after first across the line Liam Wilson was penalised by the Stewards. Heat two saw Adam McMullan and newcomer Jack Gault clear out front until they hit fluid on the track and skittled into the wall, bringing out the yellow flags. At the resumption it was Joshua McMullan who took the lead and the win over James Goldie and Joe Largey.
The final saw a repaired Adam McMullan out front early on but this time Wilson was on a charge, and he took a clear win to make up for his penalty earlier in the afternoon. Darragh, Goldie and Adam McKinney chased him home.

Many thanks to our meeting sponsors, McKinney Safety Centre
