@ alan273

good to see you out at the end of SS5, shame about Frank Kelly's car though. Spoke to Frank later on and he had been to Montgomery Motorsport on the way home and sorted out quite a few bits for the rebuild.

i frank kelly runs a rwd fiesta dont he?

 

[Graham]

seen recovery and alan heading up into SS3 as you's where on route out of the stage, i was in a silver corolla with 4 spot lamps on it, have loads of pictures to upload today and it was a great rally despite the weather being a tad damp or should i say pissing down ! some real surprising casualties, lynch crashed, jonston crashed, allens engine siezed afaik and john mcglaughlan didn't make stage 3 so dunno what happened to him, leaving mcsea, biggerstaff and shaw for the top 3 ! mike curran got 9th overall and 5th in grp N and was very very close to 4th and maybe 3rd but a bent rear axle i think it was meant the last 3 stages had to be driven with caution

i'm still trying to find the results so as soon as i do then i'll hoist them up

@ sideways365

Frank kelly did have a fiesta a couple of years ago but it visited the scenary a bit too quickly resulting in Frank buying an Mk II Escort (real rally car).

 

[gtraynor]
