Stock car drivers fall just short
There was plenty of close and fast racing during the stock car meeting at the Cowdenbeath Racewall on Saturday night but for once West Lothian drivers failed to grab a win.
Livingston’s Robbie Armit and Bobby Brandon of Fauldhouse suffered differing outcomes in the Ministox where their races were fast-paced and full of incidents.
Brandon hit trouble in all of his races and failed to record a top-10 finish.
Armit, on the other hand, finished in third place in the opening heat thanks to a late dash towards the line.
In heat two he had to settle for fourth place in a keenly contested race that saw the first four
finish nose to tail.
When the final started, he was soon making up ground but after a three car shunt the race was suspended.
On the restart Armit started in fifth and began to make up ground as the raced progressed.
A fierce fightback fell just short as he had to settle for the runner-up spot.
In the saloons, Armadale’s Jordan Cassie had a mixed meeting failing to finish in the results in either of his heats.
It was a different story during the final, though, where he ran strongly although he lost a couple of places during the closing stages and had to settle for seventh place.
