Action packed night at Cowdenbeath RacewallA

As a result, the Faichney car rode the main straight wall with the front wheels above the top of the wall and then crashed heavily into the pit gate, writes our Racewall reporter, Jim Turner.

Whilst the car somehow ended up on all four wheels it could have so easily rolled. A spectacular end to an already exciting meeting.

It was a good night to be a Burgoyne, with Lewis winning the first three Formula II races, and Chris the Grand National. Another driver to dominate was Corey Mathers who won all of the Micro F2 races.

After his Victory lap by Burgoyne, with his European trophy, the grid formed with Charlie Faichney leading the field away. By the end of the lap Paul Reid was ahead and stayed there until just after the half distance, when Lewis Burgoyne took over. In the end it was Burgoyne 1-2-3, with Lewis leading home Chris then Steven.

Faichney was again the early leader when heat two started, but when under pressure from Reid, he drifted wide and in a flash L. Burgoyne dived through into the lead.

The final was led off by Borthwick, from Russell and Bryson, but soon Hughes had moved into second. Behind, Shevill Jnr was making up ground, and was soon into the top ten.

The field lined up behind John Paton but he quickly lost out to Lauren Ford, although she had Kai Chisholm in close order and they stayed in that order until the end of the race. Gail and John Paton had a spot of synchronised spinning but Gail restarted. In the end Ford led Chisholm home with Joanne Hilditch third.

John Paton was the initial heat two leader but a couple of laps in lost out to Chisholm who slowly extended his lead. Liam Boyle and Colin Ogilvie were involved in a race long dice which got a bit frantic at one time resulting in Boyle spinning. Chisholm went on to win by a clear margin from Boyle and Ford.
