2012 - #1 - Ballymena Raceway 2/1/12 |
First of all Happy New Year to all my visitors, followers and people who perhaps don’t like me, but come here to fault find.
With New Years day on a Sunday, the traditional Ballymena new years meeting was on the official public holiday, Monday 2nd of January and that was the meeting I’d start my 2012 Stockcar Journey from.

And The Year Was.... 2005 |
Keith Martin finally landed the National Hot Rod World Championship, then added the European while Ian Thompson took the National Championship and the British for a clean sweep of titles.
Slick tyres arrived in F2, not just treaded tyres that had been buffed down to slicks, but tyres that actually came out of the factory as slicks. Graham Fegan won the European Championship, Gary Grattan won the Irish closed and Dutch man Willie Peeters won the world at Northampton.

2012 Calendars Now Available |
As has been the case in previous Years I'm once again creating a few different designs of calendar which will be sold in aid of Charity. Between 2009 and 2010 I have managed to raise over £1,000 for charities which are close to my heart, and I hope this year we will continue to get a good response on calendar sales.
This year I have opted to go with 3 designs, a Nuttscorner Oval calendar, a General NI Oval Racing Calendar and new for this year a 2LitreHotRod.com calendar.

2011 - #44 - Tipperary Motor Speedway - 29/10/11 |
Going into the weekend, the plan was that my next meeting would be the ProStocks and Gp 2's at Aghadowey, but having taken a blow to the head during indoor football prior to leaving I felt a bit dizzy and thought better of the long drive. So from there, Tipperary became my 44th meeting of the season and 50th event when you include car shows and things like that.

The penultimate meeting of the season at Nuttscorner Oval featuring the 2 Litre Hot Rod Irish Championship (that's the "closed" one for people like me with an F2 Background or other classes that run an "open" as well as a "closed"), the Stock Rods King of Nuttscorner, the Juniors and the small matter of the Lightning Rods Points Championship to clear up.
