Carlow 2008 - Official Club Statement

[pgrogan]

2008 Stages Rally and Mk II Challenge

Carlow Car Club received correspondence from the Motorsport Ireland Rallies Committee in late November to say that no permit would be given to run the 2008 Stages Rally. The reasons given were because of issues contained in the Motorsport Ireland Stewards' and Safety Officer's reports. The Directors of Carlow Car Club met and have entered into correspondence with the Rallies Committee. It is generally accepted by all that the 2007 Stages Rally was a safe and well run event and the Directors were very surprised by the Rallies Committee's decision. We have asked to meet with the Rallies Committee at the earliest opportunity to try and resolve this matter and reinstate the 2008 Stages Rally back on this year's calendar.
