With a seven week gap between the first and second rounds of SMRC action, bumper grids were assured for the May meeting of the SMRC classes. Add the visiting MSA British Superkart Championship and you had a full paddock and a full day's racing to look forward to.

In the Saloon and Sportscar races Andrew Gallacher made up for a very disappointing first meeting in April for his team by taking two victories in his massively quick Ford Focus. He was made to work hard for it by Robert Pritchard in the first race but just held him off, while Charlie Shaw had to overcome the Caterhams of Peter Frith and David Headen for the final podium spot, all three cars covered by half a second. Ian Hepburn took sixth as the only other car on the lead lap.

The second race took place on a wet track and once again saw a Gallacher victory, this time initially followed away from the grid by the similar but different Ford Focus of Shaw. An off on the first lap dropped Pritchard to fourth meaning he had to fight back past Headen and Shaw but by then Gallacher was untouchable. Shaw suffered a huge spin into a gravelly retirement handing Headen the final podium position though the Caterham had to fight hard for it given the close attention of Derek Hastings in his nicely turned out Escort Cosworth. Frith completed the top five and lead lap finishers.

The Scottish Legends Championship once again saw a field of twenty cars (missing April race winner Robin Drysdale who was at Monaco to watch the Grand Prix), with Ben Mason dominating the first heat by sprinting into an early lead which he would easily hold on to. Poleman Steve Reynolds took up the chase while Jon Jon Higgins, Gerard McCosh and Frank Hynds battled to the front of the pack. With Reynolds and Higgins pulling away from their pursuers, McCosh fought past Hynds but it was too late to make any impression on the lead cars. A huge battle in the midfield eight seconds behind Hynds saw the returning Alex Knight take sixth place just ahead of Carol Brown, David Thorburn, Colin Atkinson, Steve Coull and Mark Spiers.

The second heat saw Jon Jon Higgins starting at the front and he very easily stamped his authority on the field on the damp track, taking off into the distance almost immediately to win by over twelve seconds. The field took a while to sort itself out in the greasy conditions, McCosh making the most of it to work his way up to second when Frank Hynds suffered a spin. Mason made a comeback from the rear of the field to take second while Reynolds, Spiers, Brown and Knight were next up at the flag. Rory Bryant put on a great show to take eighth place in only his fifth Legends race ahead of Pat Hynds and Atkinson.

The final promised a lot of action with all the quick guys starting towards the back and in the early laps a lot of battling ensued while they forced their way forward. Frank Hynds, David Thorburn and Ali Thom made the early running before Higgins and Mason worked their way to the point. After getting by Hynds, Higgins and Mason fought hard all the way to the flag, Higgins winning by .161 of a second after Mason had briefly grabbed the lead on the last lap. Hynds held on to a lonely third with Thorburn an equally solitary fourth. McCosh took fifth with Carol Brown taking sixth just ahead of Steve Coull and Thom. Up to the flag the remaining top ten positions were battled over by Atkinson, James Willis, Alistair Gauld, and Mark Speirs. The final result saw an overall victory for Higgins from Mason and McCosh.

With Scott Fraser having won both of the away rounds of the Scottish XR2 Championship at Cadwell Park a few weeks previously, Andrew Winchester's goal was to get back on the top step of the podium at Knockhill and he duly obliged, taking two wins with Fraser shadowing him home in both races. In the first race Fraser led away while Willie Davidson was forced to head to the pits early. With Peter Cruickshank, Ross McColm and Scott Morrison following closely, Winchester took the lead on the third lap just for Fraser to take the spot back soon afterward. The close battle continued for a number of laps until the second last lap when Winchester managed to nip though on the inside leaving the hairpin, holding the lead to win with Cruickshank shadowing the leaders. Morrison took fourth with a big battle for fifth going the way of Derek McDougall ahead of Colin MacKinnon, McColm and Stewart Scott. Dave Colville and Al Fraser fought to the line to complete the top ten.

The second race was once again led away by Scott Fraser but Winchester once again followed him, having to initially fight off the attentions of Morrison who then dropped behind Cruickshank. At around half distance Winchester repeated his passing move from the first race by passing Fraser on the run up to Seat Curves with the battle for third raging behind them, Cruickshank and Morrison swapping positions a few times up to the flag. In a fraught final lap of cut and thrust, Fraser dived round the outside of the hairpin to create a drag race to the chequered flag which Winchester won by 0.57 of a second. Third to ninth was covered by a matter of two seconds, Cruickshank taking third ahead of Morrison, Dave Colville, MacKinnon, McColm, Scott and Davidson.

The first of two SMRC Formula Ford 1600 Championship races saw a win by Louis Di Resta who moved into second place on the first lap, pouncing on pole position man Stuart Thorburn next time around. Graham Carroll then worked his way into second place but could do nothing about Di Resta who pulled out a four second lead over the remainder of the race. Thorburn finished a lonely third with fourth place going to Robert Thomson ahead of the battling David Thorburn and Elliot Mason. The top ten was completed by David Kerr, Craig Brunton, Alan Kirkaldy and Willie Hourie with Geordie Taylor crashing on the last lap and ending his day with rear-end damage.

The second race saw Di Resta lead away with Thorburn passing Carroll for second. With Di Resta pulling away from the field, the battle for fourth made up the majority of the interest until the fifth lap when contact at Butchers saw David Thorburn and Elliot Mason out of the race. This allowed Robert Thomson into fourth where he would stay around five seconds behind the battle for second between Stuart Thorburn and Carroll, Thorburn holding on to the end, again finishing around four seconds behind Di Resta. Rory Butcher took fifth, holding off Craig Brunton with David Kerr, Angus Geddes, Kirkaldy and Graham Legget completing the top ten.

The Scottish Minis welcomed ex-BTCC star David Leslie into the celebrity car for its pair of races, Mark Dryden looking like the man to beat in qualifying. He led away in the first race, closely followed all the way by Ian Milton who stuck with him all the way, in turn closely followed by Paul Wilson. The close staus quo was maintained all the way to the last corner of the last lap when a missed gear by Dryden allowed Milton to get alongside on the way to the line, Dryden just hanging on to the win by 0.001 of a second! Wilson finished right with them with Ken Thirwall in a lonely fourth place. Gilbert Grossett completed the top five.

The second race saw Paul Wilson take the lead and he extended it steadily as the ten laps unravelled to win by five seconds. The action was all behind him though, Grossett initially in second but the quicker guys soon worked their way forward, Ian Milton taking up second place. As the battle raged right behind him, Milton held on to second while Thirwall managed to take the final spot on the podium. Dryden initially ran ahead of Vic Covey and David Leslie, but Leslie pulled off some of his old magic to work his way by both of them to finish fourth, all three covered by half a second at the end.

The first of the Historic Sports and Saloon races started with Mike Nisbet and Olly Ross spinning to the rear of the field, Ross retiring on the next lap with Nisbet proceeding to scythe through the field. Matthew Gordon and Adam Bernard's Porsches battled over the lead for most of the remainder of the race but the real story was Nisbett making up twelve seconds in nine laps to first catch them both and get past to take an amazing victory in his own Porsche 911. Willy Toye's Triumph TR8 was the only car near the speed of the Porsches and he took fourth ten seconds behind the trio, Tommy Gilmartin's BMW the only other car on the lead lap in fifth.

The second race saw the field reversed and after a fraught first lap Toye emerged in the lead in his TR8 followed by the three Porsches and Gimartin. The sheer grunt of the TR8 kept Toye ahead for a couple of laps but Adam Bernard had a couple of attempts, eventually getting by on the fourth lap. Toye tried too hard to get by towards the end of the lap, going off track at the hairpin into the tyre wall. The moment caused Bernard to wiggle the rear of his car and although both of the other Porsches got alongside he briefly retained the lead, eventually losing it to Nisbet. Olly Ross had caught them by this time in his Lotus Europa and proceeded to monster Gordon's 911, chasing him all the way to the flag. Having taken the lead Nisbet proceeded to pull out a three second lead on Bernard, Gordon and Ross with Tommy Gilmartin once again completing the top five.
