hrcr clubmans championship 2013, slowboy returns

Post by slowboy »

well, after over a year away from historic rallying, i have registered for the championship again, i won the masters and finished 4th o/a in 2010 despite not finishing the year with back trouble, i hope i am now fit enough to contest 9 or 10 of the 11 rounds, entry in for round 1, ali proctor on the maps, we have only done one event together but got on really well and finishe 3rd o/a, will be a bit competition rusty , so a top 10 first time out would be good :D so should be doing a bit more of this in 2013,

Well Jon, I will be out on this event also so will be trying to achieve fastest Mini on the tests in my 1275GT .... I live in hope but the navigation we have no cHance with ..... I can say this knowing my navigator does not frequent this forum.

So its a while since I did this event , are M&S tyres the choice for this or not?

So Jon , Brynmor are you all sorted for Saturday ? Are you arriving Friday or Saturday ? I will be pleased to finish the event and go the right way all day..... I live in hope and trust my navigator is not reading this.

See you on the weekend
