ILKLEY JUBILEE RALLY 21ST APRIL

Post by SMOKE GREY »

Myself and my mapman Bob, are out again this weekend in the Orangebox, now with support from MINISPORT. A full entry and we are starting at the sharp end, car 2, with a 75+ car entry. It is a round of the HRCR clubmans c/ship, so some very good crews out. Hoping for a good run ;)

First car start the first of several tests at Skipton Cattle market at 8.45 this Sunday.

Well after a hectic Saturday of jobs on the car, Sunday dawned bright and cold. Rally went really well, enjoyed it against some very tough competition so only a couple of errors and we ended the day 6th overall, a dropped minute costing us third, but i can't complain, i have never had good luck on this event so i was well chuffed to put a stop yo my poor luck on this rally :!:
:D :D

Looks like a grand day out but why are there so many modern cars on a historic event, Ford Escorts ---------paaaaaaah. Woz I think far far better with the 31.12 65 cut off.
