Further to my recent post on
next month's planned return of the Milltown Stages Rally, the Condor MSC website
is now back on-line. If you want more information on the event and also more
information on the 'Back to Roots 2 Wheel Drive Tarmack Championship' (BR2TC)
then have a look here:
The 7 round championship includes two visits to Weeton just off
the M6 between Preston and Blackpool - so you can go for a paddle after the
rally and visit the Blackpool Prom, so pack the weans' bucket and spade!

Oddly enough, I came across some pics from the 2002 Milltown
Stages Rally as organised by the RAF Motor Sports Association. The event was
won by Tom and Stephen Morris who scored a time of 1hr 58mins 48 seconds for the 8 stage event in
their Metro 6R4 - the average time for each stage was around 15 minutes! Told
you it was a big venue. Robin Hamilton and Iain Edwards were 2nd in another
Metro with Ricky and Russell Wheeler 3rd in their Escort Mk2.
Hamish Kinloch and Stuart Faulds were 5th in the very same Toyota
Corolla that Hamish took to Rally Finland last year, and all he did was blow
the dust off it - at least that's what Hamish says!

| Clarky and Beefy |
Another pair of weel kent faces were in the yellow Avenger which
finished 20th o/a, driven by Alan Clark and co-driven by Beefy Fraser. The
white Mitsubishi should stir some memories too. That was Lorna Smith and her
faither in the Lancer, and they finished 12th.
As for the final pic, some folk reckoned that some of the surfaces
were abrasive! But then again what would you expect from a 100 stage mile
event?
