The PMC 12 Car Rally Championship 2009

The Hillman Cup Rally—Cancelled

Sadly due to a lack of entries after what started out as a promising crowd for the first 12 car rally of the year, the Hillman Cup Rally has been cancelled after a number crews are unable to compete on the night, thus making the numbers well under our minimum for these events. For further information please contact Alf at chantera@blueyonder.co.uk or 01752 205638.

Photo Gallery

We are trialling a new photo gallery as we speak, and have uploaded a few galleries, fairly random stuff from my own collection of pics (nothing risqué) and would like any opinions on this style of gallery, feel free to browse the pics and to see what you think, and pass your comments to spotlamp@blueyonder.co.uk please click here for the gallery listing, where you will be able to select various groups, limited at this time, but the intention is to increase this should we go ahead with it. Im interested in the quality and speed of the use of the galleries rather than the photographic quality of the pictures.

Bank Holiday Monday Grass Autotest

A fantastic turnout for the grass Autotest saw 23 entries tackling 5 tests. The weather was perfect being not to hot yet dry, with the grass proving to be very slippery for the rear wheel drive MG fraternity, certainly great fun to watch and Im sure all of the drivers enjoyed the day immensely. Drive of the day for me was Jim Elsten, a chap of senior years from Canada across with the MG cars who borrowed a car and took a first in class, with no experience of this sort of thing from back home. For results please see here, and for some pics please see here courtesy of Mark at Drumstyle, and more pics here from Chris Jones.
