Added: 26 Mar 2013 Category: 2013 Oval Racing 10 Things I'm Looking Forward to in 2013 By my own admission it would be a long winded and probably quite negative piece that would make me more enemies than friends if I was to sit down and write a preview of the upcoming season and splits in classes, clashing meetings, etc and while that would probably make for much more interesting reading, it’s probably best I stick with trying to show the sport in a positive light and continue being allowed into the venues. So here it is, the 10 things I’m most looking forward to in 2013.

Firstly, I’m not a fan of these disjointed Speedweekends, I like Speedweekends to flow, qualifying for something on the 1st night, big finals on the Sunday, followed by an anti climax and general mopping about. I’m not a fan of completely different classes the next day. I think it gives people an either/ or choice rather than them wanting to go both days to see the whole thing.

To be perfectly honest, if it wasn’t for me being the track photographer, I wouldn’t have been there on the Saturday night, simply because all day long I’d encountered rain, heavy rain, snow, sleet and when I was leaving the house I was fairly confident I was heading for a wet and miserable evening, much like practice day the previous week.

I decided therefore to head to Tullyroan in the hope that there might be some breaks in the rain and I’d get a few shots.

Down played host to the first round of the Northern Ireland Rally Championship on Saturday 16th of February, and on a rare motorsport outing that wasn't a Stock Car meeting, I was there.

So here it is, when 2008 went wrong [see the full article] Added: 23 Jan 2013 Category: 2013 Oval Racing McMillan Racing Night at the Races Derek and Shane McMillan are holding a Night at the Races this Saturday night in the Fairhill Bar, Ahoghill to raise funds for their 2013 racing campaigns.
