Bolton back on form at Ballymena Raceway

Bolton had to settle for second place in a keenly contested final however, as Jason Clyde captured the silverware for the second meeting in a row despite strong pressure from Bolton and Adam Sloan.

It proved to be a successful evening for the Kincaid family where brothers Christopher and Antony secured the final honours in their respected classes! F2 Stock Car Irish Champion Christopher fired an ominous warning to his rivals with a brace of victories in his new car, while younger brother Antony produced one of the drives of the meeting to snatch the Junior Rod honours after a fantastic last lap charge,

In the other classes at the ISUZU Truck Antrim sponsored programme Harry Gilmore took a faultless three wins from three races in the opening round of the Group Two Lightning Rod Terraclean Supreme Series, with Ballymoney’s Andy McLeister a strong third. In the Micro F2 Stock Car division Cathal McFerran eased home to a hat-trick of victories.
