That's the belated report from the final round of the Scottish Rally Championship now in the on-line mag, when Jock Armstrong was crowned new Scottish Rally Champion, or should that be Scottish Rally Jumpion? Anyway, he and Paula won the rally and Garry and Robbie didn't. In a final stab of cruel luck for the hopefuls, a wee underbonnet fire scuppered their hopes of glory as they left the penultimate stage. Until that point Garry was happy with his pace and doing what he had to do, and things were looking good, until Lady Luck gubbed them with her happy stick! Class roundup to follow and then the usual News & Gossip.
