The History of Superstox In NI
Back when the announcement was made that Tullyroan Oval would re-introduce Superstox to Northern Ireland I decided it would be the makings on a nice blog to do a piece on the History of Superstox in Northern Ireland.

And The Year Was..... 2008
2008 seen Wayne Woolsey take his first 2.0 Hot Rod world title as the big race for the formula headlined the Nuttscorner Oval Speedweekend for the second time. Glenn Bell won the Stock Rod world title on home soil at Ballymena. Ian Thompson became only the second Northern Ireland driver to win the F2 world final. Stinkbridge made their mark on Shamwreck, The Robins made a TV appearance on Petrol Heads on BBC NI, and NIF2 was changed to a photo website.

2008 - When it Went Wrong
While I was flicking through photos from 2008 to create a look back at the year, I found there was a number of crash shots or aftermaths I thought worth posting. So here it is, when 2008 went wrong

And The Year Was.... 2007
Ballymena hosted their big 30th Anniversary meeting, Glenn Bell won his second Stock Rod world title, Craig McConnell won the F2 European title,I got my first SLR camera, and got told not to come back to Nutts Corner Raceway, which has been a significant turn in what I’ve ended up doing ever since.

And the Meeting was... Ballymena 30th Anniversary
As we approach the 35th Anniversary meeting at Ballymena Raceway, I thought I'd take a bit of time to reflect on the 30th Anniversary meeting as it sticks out in my head as one of the "special meetings" that I've been to over here.

Shamwreck 2006-2011
As we approach what should be the last National Banger meeting at Nuttscorner Oval and certainly the last Shamwreck at Nuttscorner Oval, I thought I'd do a piece to reflect on the Shamwrecks that have gone before.

And the Year Was .... 2006
The gloves where off in one F2 final, the National Points champion showed us his moves with his own rendition of the Chicken dance at Ballymena, Stephen Emerson became the first NI driver to win the Lightning Rod World and NIF2 was database driven, a database which no longer exists so the rest is a little sketchy.

And the Meeting Was.... Speedweekend 2005
I thought it worth writing a piece on not just the past years, but also the meetings that have really stuck out for me, and there was something of a buzz around the Nuttscorner Oval 2005 Speedweekend that just made it special.
Although there had been 2 day meetings at Nuttscorner Oval in the previous summers, 2005 was the first of them to have been branded a Speedweekend. The concept of a Speedweekend is something many of us who had spent our summer’s tripping back and forward to the mainland were well familiar with, but there was still a greater audience of fans at home who had never been across the water, and this was to be their first Speedweekend.

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.
