As the race progressed Shea Fegan kept sway at the helm with McFerran safely in second a safe distance ahead of Gavin Fegan in third.

With his machinery stranded on the racing line a caution period was called which would see the cars all bunched together in a shoot out to the flag.

While Stewart had to switch into a more defensive mode, Morrow started to pull clear at the front while the other pair battled it out.

The drama led to a race suspension, which would see Stewart challenge from the front.

Moodie blasts to Challenge trophy glory

A very pleasing entry of 30 plus cars gathered at Nutts Corner Raceway to contest the 2022 running of the Brisca F2 Challenge Trophy. High profile visitors included Gordon Moodie, Chris & Steven Burgoyne, James Rygor and Liam Rennie. A two third format was the preferred format, with each of the drivers contesting in two heats, in order to score qualifying points for the showdown grid.

The heat races were lively to say the least, with plenty of drama all around the raceway including roll over's for both Graham and Gavin Fegan. Gordon Moodie picked up the win in heat one before Chris Burgoyne took the heat two spoils, coming through for the local contingent; was Jonny Stirling when he took the flag in heat three.

With the points totalled it was Moodie who occupied pole position for the final with C Burgoyne along side, next up was Jonathan Hadfield, Jack Cave, Jamie Jones and Rennie. Moodie got away in text book fashion at the fall of the green while those behind went scattering in all directions resulting in a race stoppage and a complete restart.

Moodie was again quickly away at the second time of asking, however this time C Burgoyne wouldn't share the same fate, colliding heavy with the turn 1 concrete. The stranded machinery of Burgoyne among others would see the yellow flags aired again. With the cars now in single file fashion, Moodie would lead into the resumption ahead of Billy Finnegan Jnr and Rygor. By this time the grid was well thinned out after the earlier carnage. Moodie went on to take the win ahead of Finnegan and Rygor.

European crown for Philp

It was an important night for the Stock Rods as they contested their 2022 European Championship.
The points obtained via the heat races, won by William Donnell and Derek Connor would dictate the grid for the European decider. Joshua McMullan and Connor were the front row sitters with the multiple champion David Philp and Sam McKinstry behind. McMullan got off to a flying start while early skirmishes resulted in a caution period after a few cars entangled on the home stretch. McMullan picked up where he left off on the restart, however this time around Philp was close behind. As the laps ticked away it become apparent that McMullan was unable to shake of Philp. Philp kept his cool and showed signs of pulling off an outside pass, however this wouldn't have to be, as he slipped his nose inside of McMullan on the exit of turn two on the very last lap to move ahead. Philp was crowned European Champion, McMullan dusted himself off to take an impressive runner up finish with Cameron Doak third.

Saturday Support Round Up

A healthy showing of Micro F2's were on hand to provide support racing, with three visiting Scottish drivers Lana Middler, Rhys Walker and Caitlin Mitchell adding to the mix. Caitlin Mitchell made her trip across the Irish Sea very worthwhile by recording victories in all three of Saturday's races. Lana Middler also featured well with a runner up finish while Lola McCreight and William Graham were among the front runners.

There was impressive entry of the all action 2L Saloon Stock Cars including Scotland's William Mitchell. Two busy heat events served up action aplenty and wins for Marcus Watt and Dylan Booth. Booth was again the man to beat in the meeting final taking the silverware ahead of Mitchell and Ryan Wright.

Andrew Cole was the opening heat one winner in the Group 2 Lightning Rods before Colin Crawley commanded the remainder of the meeting with a heat two and meeting final victory, in the final Clive Wilson and David Nesbitt was next across the line.

Russell got off to a faultless start with Wright also quickly away in second and McLaughlin well established in third. Behind the action was hot and heavy resulting in yellow flags being called due to a situation on turn three. On the resumption it was still Russell in charger, a few laps in Wright made his move and moved through to the front, with Russell, McLaughlin and Allard in close succession. As the four battled it out tooth and nail Wright was shunted wide while Allard coming to grief on the Nutts Corner end. Russell moved well clear, with Wright and Danny Colliver next. It was obvious Wright was now carrying damage from the earlier scuffle which allowed Colliver and McLaughlin to move through and give chase.

A lively restart would see only a further few laps completed before another caution , this time a pile up in turn 3 claimed a few high profile casualties including Allard and McIvor. Wright took up the running on the restart with Barry Russell behind, Wrights spell at the front was short lived as he was sent scattering into a stricken car on turn 3. All the while Russell edged away in the lead with Matthew Stirling and Adam White giving chase. A late caution would regroup the cars once final time, with Russell still the leader, ahead of Stirling and Allard now recovered to third.
