April 13th was the opening round of the 2014 Kerry Motor Club Autosolo Championship sponsored by online electrical suppliers, TradeKit. It proved to be a hotly contested affair with a mere 2.2 seconds separating first and second place. Many favored reigning Autosolo Champion Lukasz Czapnik in his Fiat Seicento to take overall victory but, he had to settle for 2nd overall as he was outpaced by Robert Beamish in his Mini. Kerry Motor Club competitor, Mike Dennehy claimed the final podium place in his Toyota Starlet having been away from the sport for a time. Causeways Maurice ‘Max’ McElligott took the class A win and Davis Croston (Cork) won Class B. It was a great day out for new competitors with Limerick’s Steven Guerin winning the Novice Class followed by Causeway’s Kevin Guerin. Ballymac’s Claire McCarthy was also enjoying her first competitive drive, winning Class G, the Ladies class.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1418767239165{padding-left: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
