422 Ashton Racing

Been a little slack on the updates here on the page! But none the less the wheels haven’t stopped turning!

The car has had a full freshen up! Stripped down, engine sent away for a rebuild, blasted & painted and then put back together! We’ve been very busy behind the scenes, with a busy race season ahead and securing returning and new sponsors!

Keep an eye on our page for the full reveal of the 2026/2027 car in the coming weeks! Plus a few giveaways will be thrown in here and there! In the mean time fire away with your guesses of the colour combination for this season!?

Repechage Results-

Dylan started grid 8 and pulled the car home to a p3! Although this didn’t get him into the finals he is still locked and loaded ready for the 2nd tier!!

Insanely proud of how he raced this was a tough field of fast cars but Dylan held his ground!

Bring on the rest of night🏁

Qualifying night results 🏁

After a night of hard fast racing Dylan unfortunately missed out on qualifying by 1 point. Dylan got a flat left front within the first lap of the last heat but he still pulled the car home to bring in some points.

With that being said even though he missed out on qualifying he is in for the repocharge starting on gird 8. Dylan is ready to rumble and try to bring the car across the line first to get into the finals!

Best of luck to everyone else and a huge thank you to our sponsors and crew! A special shoutout to the Beets family for making the journey down showing their support and their helping hands over the night and early this morning to get the car in working order!

See you all trackside!🏁
