Sunday 26th August 2007

United Downs Raceway, St Day - 26th August 2007

The annual Blockbusta fixture once again saw almost 70 unlimited cc Bangers at the United Downs Raceway. This year's title race was won by 99 Richie Ahern, who spun aside 190 Steve Bailey, five laps from home.


Charity Car Pull

Before racing began, Dave Glover of Dave's Sheds - this year's Blockbusta sponsors - single-handedly pulled the huge Yank of 66 Dave Spooner, along the start-finish straight, to raise money for the Children's Hospice, South West.

Bangers
A fine showing of 68 Bangers packed the pit area, and produced a thrilling day of race action and big crashes.
Heat wins went the way of 326 Paul Picton and 271 Dean Goodearl.
After 99 Richie Ahern had taken the Blockbusta final, ahead of 746 Keith Painter, 409 Joey Collins and 190 Steve Bailey, there was an overdose of action in the Allcomers race, notably when Bailey administered an enormous follow-in of 44 Roger Squire.
702 James Dodge was rewarded for his efforts at changing an engine, as he emerged in time for the DD, to win after seeing off 19 Joe Mullarkey and 244 Mike Bunyan.

Stock Rods
37 Barry Trickey scored a brace of heat wins, but it was 125 Mike Hibberd who took top honours in the final.
