Rally - Kames this weekend

Although Kames International Motorsport Centre at Muirkirk has already hosted two Sprints this year, the complex’s rallying season gets underway tomorrow (Sunday 11th May) with the Mayfield Garage Services Spring Rally.

Run as ever by the East Ayrshire Car Club stalwarts and various ‘hingers-oan’ the event has attracted a pretty full entry of 37 cars and crews including 18 Junior 1000 Ecosse Challenge (14-17 years of age) drivers and their older (wiser?) sidekicks. And with 14 Special Stages on offer, it will keep the Officials and Marshal awfy busy. Amongst a flock of Mk2 Escorts a lone Chevette and Hyundai plus a few other makes add a splash of variety and then of course, there is the swarm of Junior 1000 one litre cars driven by the youngsters making their way in this adrenaline pumping speed sport.

For those fancying a day out with family and friends, the entry fee is a fiver a head and spectators can view the majority of the circuit from the banking so it’s ideal for a fix of the early Spring scents of petrol, brake pads and clutches after a Winter of deprivation.

Oh, and just one more thing, Kames Café’s catering is renowned far and wide and praised by the land’s most illustrious food critics for its ethnically celtic cuisine (and free from French influence) – photo attached!

Oh, and another thing, I’ll have books with me for those wishing to purchase one or two of these illustrated historical rallying tomes but the red Transit won’t be there – it’s still on its holidays. Instead look for the wee white Berlingo!!
