Dubliner Colm Blackburn dominated the Formula Vee race at yesterday’s Carlow
Car Club Mondello Park meeting, despite only qualifying fourth on the
starting grid. He made a storming getaway, jumping to second place behind
pole starter Dan Polley into the first corner, and got past his class title
rival on lap two to take the lead.

Half a lap later, a slip dropped Polley to fifth place, leaving Blackburn to
cruise home to victory, more than three seconds clear, while a great
recovery drive from Polley saw him claim runner up position by the chequered
flag. Anthony Cross finished third after holding second place for much of
the race, ahead of Jack Byrne and Justin Costello.

Shane McFadden won the first of the Fiesta ST races, but there was a
surprise victor in race two when Galway’s Tom Fahy started from pole on the
reverse grid, and led all the way despite huge pressure from the much more
experienced John Denning and Michael Cullen. Owen Purcell scored a double in
the Fiesta Zetec races.
