It was a warm, bright evening at Cowdenbeath Racewall as a rare Friday fixture took place.

Jamie Balfour from Forfar had his best night of the year yet at the Fife track in the ORCi Ministox.

After a battle for the win in the first heat he crossed the line third, before narrowly missing out again in heat two, finishing runner-up.

However, it all came good for Balfour in the final, as he claimed his first win of the year.

Dennis Middler from Carnoustie and Peter Watt from Kirriemuir on the grid in the BriSCA F2s.

Watt finished third in heat one ahead of Middler in ninth, but another third place in heat two for Watt resulted in meeting-ending mechanical issues, while Middler was seventh.

Middler was battling for the lead in the final when he spun and was collected, which ended his night early.

Barry and Gemma Russell from Brechin were among the drivers competing in the Saloons.

Barry finished in 10th in the opening heat and sixth in the final, while Gemma was seventh in heat two and 10th in the final.

A bruising Dash for Cash race to finish saw Gemma cross the line in fourth.
