Your Rally planner for 2005

P.Cummins · 26 Jan 2005, 14:55 (Ref:1210383)

So what have people got planned in the British Isles for 2005? I'm looking forward to a few events but have not finalized exactly which ones I am going to.
The Munster National, Dongal Inter, Jim Clark and Birr Forestry Rallies are most likely for me, where are yous going?

**BertMk2** · 26 Jan 2005, 15:15 (Ref:1210401)

Our plans are pretty fluid at the moment (as in we have no idea what we're doing!). We did the Longmoor Loco stages, thought about Goodwood (but aren't going to make it). After that we're looking at possibly Longcross, Millbroook, Abingdon and Oakington before doing Longmoor again.

We'll go and have a look at the Rally of Kent too but won't be taking part (no gravel suspension or tyres yet

)

ss_collins · 26 Jan 2005, 15:37 (Ref:1210415)

MN has a poster rally calender thing in the next issue should help planning.

Wise man with the Rally of Kent - without doubt the world greatest stage rally

Roundy Mooney · 26 Jan 2005, 15:44 (Ref:1210420)

Entry in for West Cork Paddys Weekend. No Plans any further than that.

Bert for god sake stay away from those forests I've heard that those most lethal of herbivores "Trees" lurk in those dark and mucky places waiting for unsuspecting rally car crews and then running straight into them.!!!

**BertMk2** · 26 Jan 2005, 15:49 (Ref:1210423)

Rally of Kent is great - and Bedgebury is only a couple of miles from home

(That weekend is the first 'proper' motorsport weekend of the year for me - Lydden on the Saturday, Bedgebury on the Sunday

)

rdjones · 26 Jan 2005, 19:45 (Ref:1210606)

I'll be out on the Riponian Stages, Kall Kwik Rally, Robin Hood Stages, North Humberside Forest Rally (clash with opening round of the British GT Championship), Jim Clark (beats going to the GP) Trackrod (clashs with the final round of the British GT Championship), Premier Rally, Roger Albert Clark, Grizdale Stages and The Christmas Stages.

P.Cummins · 26 Jan 2005, 20:12 (Ref:1210639)

Cool

peespeed · 26 Jan 2005, 22:49 (Ref:1210777)

starting off the year with Connacht Single Stage this weekend, then Galway next week, hopefully Sweet Lamb in Wales end of Feb then Carrick Forestry, Circuit of Ireland,Tipp Forestry.......... basically an event every 2 weeks and in some cases 2 events on the one weekend between now and October. Highlights of this years calander will be Rally of Wales in April, Mk2 Challenge in May, Manx Int in July

P.Cummins · 27 Jan 2005, 20:00 (Ref:1211429)

Do you think the Birr Forestry is worth going to?

peespeed · 27 Jan 2005, 20:28 (Ref:1211456)

havent been at the Birr Forestry for a good few years but its normally fairly good, you shoul wait til the MEC forestry event as it's based in Laragh in Co.Wicklow and would be closer to you

P.Cummins · 27 Jan 2005, 20:31 (Ref:1211460)

Yeah thats right. If I was to make the effort to go and see a rally before June it would be Kilarney

I'll still consider Wicklow though. Thanks for pointing that out.

imull · 28 Jan 2005, 20:37 (Ref:1212225)

Radio on the Snonwman
Navigating on the Gremlin Road Rally
Driving (i hope) on the Bolton Midnight. Former MN round being resurrected

Summer depends on work but August 13th Baja round on Epynt looks appealing
Rallitrak on Ulster Rally I hope
Driving on Tour of Mull I hope. Otherwise navvying again

Marshal on Roger Clark again unless lottery win

thats it for the moment

Guffy · 28 Jan 2005, 21:08 (Ref:1212250)

These are my plans so far: (not all in order)

Riponian (radio)
Malcom Wilson (comittee)
Northwest stages (start/finish ramp)
Border Counties (radio)
Pirelli (radio)
Jim Clark (radio)
Lurgan(hopefully)(start/finish ramp)
Trackrod (radio)
Park Systems (radio)
Grizedale (radio)

Probably be doing more events, but can only remember these off hand!!

Will be going to a few Rallycross events with Silver Bullet

imull · 28 Jan 2005, 21:15 (Ref:1212257)

Guffy, bit off topic but a bit of advice needed.

My sister is living in Eamont Bridge near Penrith and is looking for a Club to join with marshalling and road rallying in mind. Ideally a club that has a decent Road rally scene and also subscribes to the WAMC Association. She has looked at Eden Valley but tehy dont seem to have registered with WAMC.

At the moment looking at joining Knutsford, which I and her driverare members of...

any ideas?

Guffy · 28 Jan 2005, 21:35 (Ref:1212277)

Off hand, No! If she goes to an EVMC club night, then there might be someone who does know, & your sister is very handy for the clubnight venue, The Crown at Eamont Bridge, the clubnights are on the first Monday of the month & EVMC are mainly into Road rallies & 12 cars with some PCTs & Autotests thrown in, & a lot of Event marshaling,
or she might like to get in touch with Kirkby Lonsdale MC(www.klmc.org.uk) & see what they have to say on the matter.

goodluck

silver bullet · 28 Jan 2005, 21:45 (Ref:1212282)

Guffy, I think you have missed the Pedragon out.

imull, Eden Valley are very strong in road rallying, several members will be out this weekend on the Shaw Trophy, but it's not regestered with the WAMC. I dont know of any clubs around here who are, apart from the Ford RSOC.
The next club meeting is on the 7th of Feb, 8pm at the Crown.

It might but I don't think she gets over here, I think she just stays on that other forum,

I forget what it's called.

I'd better tell her you've done your good turn for the day.
