Then came the dramatic final, after which winner C Burgoyne received a tyre from Jack “Mr Mylaps” Watson, after crossing the line ahead of Aaron Vaight and S Burgoyne, with L Burgoyne down in eighth after his spin.

In a wet Grand National, S Burgoyne carved his way through the field before taking his car to an easy win from Tom Bennett and Ryan McGill.

Amongst those in action in the Saloons were Tam Rutherford Jnr (Dunipace) and Cammy Deans (Stenhousemuir).

Deans was the first car home in the first heat but was adjudged to have jumped the start and whilst the win went to Jordan Cassie, Deans was dropped two places and ended up third with Rutherford Jnr retiring. In heat two Deans made no mistakes at the start of the race before going through to win by a fair margin but Rutherford Jnr dropped down the order and wasn’t classified.
