2011 - #18 - Nuttscorner Oval 11/6/11
The sixth meeting in eight days at the ORCi tracks in Northern Ireland, almost met with relief for a few days break. A bizarre evening on the weather front, as it seemed to get brighter and brighter as the night progressed, right up until sunset at the end of the meeting. With several 2 Litre Hot Rods at Ipswich, they raced for the Nuttscorner Oval Challenge trophy, with a mass start and reverse grids. Petie Donnelly led the cars away in heat one, with John Christie moving through into the lead and taking the opening heat. Adam Heatrick led them off in heat two with Wayne Woolsey on the outside of the front row. Heatrick managed to hold off the ex World champion for a number of laps as Woolsey battled around the outside, but eventually Woolsey came out on top and went on to take heat two. Heatrick held on toe second with Nigel McCauley third. Woolsey’s heat performances seen him take pole for the final with John Christie alongside. The two were inseparable in the early stages of the race and it looked as if they could have as easily run door to door all race long, until Christie’s throttle cable snapped and that was that. Woolsey went on to take the win with Glenn Hetherginton second and Petie Donnelly third. In the Juniors their was heat wins for Kyle Hill and Ben McCully, with McCully later doubling his tally for the night by adding a victory in the final. The ProStocks provided some great racing in what was a lively evening for them. Ryan Abernethy took the opening heat win, with Billy Finnegan jnr taking the heat two honours. The final provided one of the races of the night with several cars dicing for the top places before Billy Finnegan jnr took his second win of the night. Ian Bolton returned to winning ways in the Robins, taking the final and the second heat after Rab Stewart had taken victory in the opening heat.
