The Year Just Keeps Getting Better

In spite of there just being a successful event on the weekend, we are less than two weeks away from our next one. The NWCC Gravel Hillclimb will be held on Upper Guide Road, Hampshire on Saturday the 19th May, with the first car leaving at 09:30. The track is 1.4 kms of uphilll gravel shenanigans, with a conveniently placed jump right in front of the spectator point. Previous events at this venue have been a roaring success and this one will prove to be no different.

Vern will have the canteen there, keeping us all full with warm food and drink.

So grab the Supplmentary Regulations and an Entry Form and get amongst it.

Details of upcoming events have been updated on the events pages, including the Hellyer Rally. Further details will be given as things get closer. But don't forget if you're going to run Hellyer, then you will need to break out the lights as Heat 2 will be NIGHT STAGES!!!

 
Another Cracker Rally
 

Round 2 of the North West Rally Series, the Carter Mechanical Gunns Stages held in the Hampshire Forests on Saturday night has been run and won.

A quality field started the short stage event and after Stage 1 was any one of 4 driver's event for the taking, with only 10 seconds separating Kade Barrett's Plymouth Fire Arrow, the WRXs of Mark Butcher and James Heinrich, and the Commodore of Stuart Rattray.

Stage 2 bought the demise of Rattrays charge with the Commodore developing an engine rattle, limping his way through a further 2 stages before a conrod escaped the engine block ending his night.

Barrett and Butcher continued to swap stage wins and, heading into the tea break, Barrett had a narrow 15 second lead.

After repairing a broken strut top at the break, Novice driver Keith Ablitt then bought his pace to the top of the result sheets consistantly setting top 3 times, eventually taking home the Novice trophy for the Night.

Butcher also fell victim to mechanical failure breaking a driveshaft on stage 11 in some unlucky circumstances having to retire, handing an easy win to Kade Barrett and David Weldon making it 2 from 2.

A consistant drive by James and Emma Heinrich has seen them sneak into second, also taking out "A Grade 4wd", with Kurt Wyllie and Kristy Mclachlan in their Datsun placing 3rd outright and  1st "A Grade 2wd".

Next round will be the Hellyer Rally on 23rd June held in conjunction with a "Tasmanian Rally Series" round at Rocky Cape. Keep your eyes peeled here for further details.

Results can be found here or at the usual place down the left.
