First Race: 13:00 PM

Sunday 8th March 2026

The new season is set to continue at a pace when the United Downs Raceway stages its second fixture of 2026.  It is another important day for the Stock Rods, whilst there is an extremely rare outing for Ladies Bangers.  The JBA Junior Bangers will race at St Day for the first time ever, and to complete the line-up, the Back 2 Basics Bangers will inject their own brand of chaotic mayhem.

Mininig Heritage Artistry

As an introduction to the meeting, there will be a celebration of the stunning mining heritage artistry as crafted by Natasha Watson.  The work can be seen on the concrete wall outside of the Pit Office.  Linking to Natasha's work, there are plans for a group of students from Falmouth University to attend the meeting, to draw the crowds, people racing, landscape etc.
