  2012 is shaping up to be a fantastic season as we move to our brand new purpose-built facility at Tullyroan Oval, and we can now reveal the fixtures for the campaign ahead.
The highlight as always will be the annual Speedweekend on July 21st/22nd, which this year features European Championships for both the 2.0 Hot Rods and the Lightning Rods, as well as the Irish Open Championship for the ProStocks. Also on the bill that weekend will be the Irish Masters for the National Hot Rods, for which we hope to attract some visiting entries to add further spice to their racing at our biggest meeting of the year.
Other major events include the ProStocks British Championship on September 16th and an Irish Open Championship double header for the National Hot Rods and 2.0 Hot Rods on September 2nd. With our Reliant Robins now travelling across the UK to compete at the major events, the mainland drivers will visit us on August 12th for their Irish Open title decider too.
The National Bangers will also play their part in 2012, with Shamwreck on April 22nd and the Ireland v England challenge match on Saturday June 16th which this year will be fought out in unlimited cc machines for the first time. The June event is indeed a double-header, with the following day seeing the Unlimited Irish Open title decided. As well as the usual 2 Litre fixtures, there will also be meetings for Under 1400cc cars, the Big Vans at Christmas, a Caravan Destruction Derby in July and also the return of the ever-popular ‘Matches and Dispatches’ Hearse and Limo meeting in September.
The debut with our promotion in 2012 of the BriSCA F2 Stock Cars, Saloon Stock Cars and Gp 2 Lightning Rods will no doubt be welcomed by the local race fans, whilst we will also introduce mini-series for the Lightning Rods, ProStocks and Junior Productions to compliment the inaugural and well-received 2.0 Hot Rods Series last year. We thank Wash ‘n’ Dash, Murrays of Randalstown and P+C Aerials for their kind sponsorship of the series in the coming year.
Whilst every care has been taken in compiling the list, changes and amendments may be made at a later date, so please check back for confirmation before travelling.
Sponsorship opportunities are available on all our race meetings, and further details are available from Darren Black on info@nuttscorneroval.com or 07980 630703.

 As has now become the norm over recent seasons, our resident photographer Brian Lammey produced three excellent calendars recently with all the proceeds going to local charities.
Thanks to the usual generosity of the Ulster oval racing folk, a superb £820 was raised, which was split between the Neo-natal Unit at The Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, and Macmillan Cancer Support.
Brian would like to thank all those who contributed in any way, and especially to the sponsors - Maxwell Freight Services, Murrays of Randalstown, Wash 'n' Dash, CP Dynes Drainage Contractors, NW Developments, Tullymore Road Motors, Six-O Signs, The Fairhill Bar Ahoghill, Ballymena Raceway, Tullyroan Oval, George Fegan Tyres and Cirrus Plastics. |

 During 2012, Aghadowey Stadium, Ballymena Raceway and Tullyroan Oval will work together to promote the Open Hot Rod class, an amalgamation of Aghadowey's class of the same name and the Slick Cars which ran at the other two tracks.
Open Hot Rods will be open to any type of Hot Rod oval racing car, which will include National Hot Rods and Classic Hot Rods, and for this season 2.0 Hot Rods can also run within the class. Of course the older spec Peugeot 205's and 206's etc, which made up the majority of the old Slick Car class, can be used too. Grids will be handicapped on each race day according to car spec.
During the course of the season, a 9-round Open Hot Rod Superleague will be staged between the three tracks, with 3 rounds at each. Some of the tracks may also run other Open Hot Rod meetings too.
As a non-licenced class, all drivers and mechanics will simply pay the relevant admission fee as a spectator would do on the day of racing.
The first 2012 meeting for the formula will be at Aghadowey Stadium on Saturday January 28th at 2pm.

The 2012 Rules and regulations for 2.0 Hot Rods, Lightning Rods, National Bangers, ProStocks and Junior Productions are now available to download.
To do so, click on the 'Drivers' menu above, select 'Formulae and Rules' and select your required class of racing.
ProStocks drivers should note that a further change has been made to the draft rules issued recently concerning the phasing out of some of the current cars which will become obsolete during 2012.
Drivers in all applicable formulae should be aware that the rules regarding the painting of roof/grade colours will be much more strictly enforced in 2012, and they should bear this in mind when preparing cars for the new season. |
