IN near perfect weather conditions, Hilltown driver, Tony Greenan, dominated the two BOSS Ireland races at the June Kirkistown meeting for cars and superkarts on Saturday past.
Tony is the current BOSS Ireland champion and is leading the championship standings again in 2024.
“BOSS” stands for Big Open Single Seater. These cars are the fastest that grace Kirkistown during any season.
In the first race in the Boss class, Tony got a great start in his 2.0 Dallara F317 and took the lead.
However, Portadown driver, Noel Robinson, made an even better start from seventh in his 3.0 Dallara Nissan and was in second place at the end of the first lap.
Dunshaughlin driver, Martin Daly, got a terrible start in his 3.5 Dallara Renault, dropping from third place to seventh.
Robinson hounded Greenan for the entire race, setting the fastest lap on the eighth tour, at an average speed of 104.197 miles per hour, but Greenan stayed in control to take the win.
Daly produced a great recovery to take third place.
In their second outing, later in the afternoon, a multi car incident brought out the red flags on lap four. Noel Robinson and Michael Connolly, from Bagenalstown, and Stanley Watson, from Lisburn, were eliminated due to car damage.
At the restart, Greenan took off into a lead he would not lose. This time Martin Daly rose to second and third place went to Daniel Faherty, in a 2.0 Dallara F311.
